My players just killed the scythe tree from book 2. One of my players is asking if its wood has any interesting properties beyond that of normal wood. Has anyone done anything interesting with the scythe tree wood, or does anyone have any interesting ideas?
How about being able to make a haunted building out of it. The thickly armoured wood means you only need a very thin layer to make a solid building (so reduced BP cost), but the downside that it periodically screams at passerbys (perhaps an Unrest check?)
Thanks for he suggestions. I'm inspired by Reverse's comment about it being haunted to have an NPC theorize that only something foul could be made from it, but Philip's point about its size is well taken. I think I'll see if the PCs pursue using the wood, and see what they try to make from it.
I'll toss an idea in, the wood screams when you burn it makes DC -10 perception checks. Some use the wood as an alarm system with strategically placed torches.

Are they thinking interesting properties along the lines of Darkwood, as a special material for crafting items with?
The tree hates (certain) fey, so perhaps its wood could be used to craft Fey-bane arrows or other wooden Fey-bane weapons at a discount.
GM_Solspiral: That's an awesome idea, but I just portrayed the scythe tree as silent throughout the entire battle, so....
RobRendell: Great idea!
