I have 250+ hours in this game and i just realized you can just USE the SHOVEL if you fail the Survival check.

“Give me a perception check.”
“Fourteen total.”
“You don’t notice anything different .”
“I get out my shovel.”

One of the reasons why, as a DM, I like the Passive Perception mechanic in 5e. It takes some of the thrill of a roll away from the players, but it gives me the tools to resolve these sorts of situations without tempting the players to metagame.

This is how you get to the underdark as a dwarf.
-
Anytime I see Survival Check Failed, I have shovel hotkeyed to 3 and get it out to start digging.
-
But can you wield it like an axe yet? I'm not buying it at full price if I can't play an undertaker-turned-fighter.
-
That gives me an idea for a necromancer who has a “staff” that is really a shovel for unearthing his servitors.

What the hell?! I didn't know about this either! I guess it makes sense from a realism standpoint, but damn, that's good to know that its possible in game as well.

You can also summon scratch and he will find it for you. Apparently he even finds chests that don't have a visible survival check. But I can't confirm that because I never have him summoned.
-
That's the only reason I tried the shovel. I started using Scratch more and figured there had to be a way to reveal what he's pointing at if you fail.

You can summon Scratch?!

Today I learned Thanks, I'm deep in Act 3.

Can shovel(the quazit) dig or find chests? I'm curious "beefy".
-
No. Shovel is only interested in murderizing, and I love her for it.
-
I haven't been able to play much yet, but I've been able to dig up a chest. I also had the option to dig up a grave, but I didn't go for it.

What's the TTP on that thing?
