So I just started a new campaign with a brand new DM (who did a kick-ass job.) His world is a dark forest where about five years prior to the campaign darkness consumed the forest. The forest since has been cut off from the outside world. The only light in the forest comes from the two moons, that usually give off low-light. Most of the residents of the forest died when the darkness came. The only town is a ramshackle outpost called Brightwind Village. Creepy demons, and like undead, and all this other hair-standing up on the back of your skin reminiscent of the moon from majora's mask are filled in the forest...

So I'm super pumped for this setting and want to dive into books out there similar to this setting. Are any good horror/fantasy books set in like a creepy forest setting out there?

I didnt read the description I kinda feel like a wanker...

I have many issues with the weapon "scythe" in Pathfinder. First off it's a martial weapon. How the hell is a farming tool a martial weapon? If a commoner wanted to harvest wheat he'd have to take a feat just to use a basic piece of farming equipment. It should be at best simple if not improvised. It's just a big sickle.
Next, it costs 18gp. Now everyone's going to say, "18gp isn't that much..." but in game terms that's more than an ox. It's a quarter staff with a knife stuck too it, that shouldn't cost more than an ox, it probably shouldn't cost more than a gold.
Third reason why the scythe has problems is it does x4 damage on a crit. There's only one other weapon in the core that has x4 damage and it's exotic.
In history you always hear about mighty soldiers charging into battle with a greataxe, or a spear. I've never heard of a warrior that charged into battle with a scythe. So why is it that a farming tool is arguably better than a greataxe, or a spear? The 300 Spartans never held of a horde of Persians with farming tools.

i'm looking to make a monk that can cast spells

So I was creating a sorcerer with the aquatic bloodline for a backup character incase mine dies. As I was perusing spell lists I found that aquatic sorcerers get the fifth level "Geyser" at ninth level. The problem is sorcerer's cannot cast 5th level spells at ninth level. Am I able to cast only that spell once per day? Or do I just have to wait until I level up?
