Overview[edit | edit source]
Shovel is a carefree and upbeat fiend that finds joy in murder, arson and eating babies. She is impatient and very easily gets bored, but in spite of her irreverent demeanour, Shovel can be deeply loyal, even when denied the pleasures of violence. Shovel is afraid of storm sorcery and wild magic sorcerers, stating thatshe doesn't like their "thunder magic and pain". She loves dragons, though, and as a Draconic Bloodline sorcerer and/or Dragonborn, convincing her you are a dragon will make her very excited. Should you fail to convince her you are a dragon, she will react disappointed and call you a "fake dragon", but she will not be afraid.
Summoning Shovel[edit | edit source]
There are two ways of summoning Shovel:
- The
Scroll of Summon Quasit found in the Apothecary's Cellar.
- This scroll can also be scribed by wizards, adding
to the wizard tab in their spellbook.
- This scroll can also be scribed by wizards, adding
- As a permanent spell by speaking to Shovel with a Warlock, Wizard or Sorcerer after summoning her with the scroll (or by a wizard who scribed it). This spell is not lost on respeccing.
Permanently acquiring Shovel[edit | edit source]
To permanently gain Shovel as a summonable familiar, see these notes. By scribing the scroll on a Wizard and then talking to Shovel with another eligible character you can learn the spell on two characters. You have to summon Shovel in the apothecary cellar, otherwise she won't talk about Illyn and then won't call the other character spell-shite.
History[edit | edit source]
Shovel was owned by the necromancer Ilyn Toth, who was a cruel and neglectful master. He would often verbally and physically abuse her as well as forget to feed her. In spite of this, Shovel enjoyed working with her former master.[act1 a]
Combat[edit | edit source]
Attacks and Abilities[edit | edit source]
Similar to other Find Familiar summons, Shovel excels at providing chip damage and harassment in battle. Defensively, her fragile body is at best a distraction against most enemies. Her Invisibility skill is particularly useful for scouting out enemy positions and initiating fights via surprise attacks
Melee: 1.5 m / 5 ft 
Range: 6 m / 20 ft Unlike ordinarily summoned quasits, Shovel has her own unique lines when using her actions.
Just like all Familiars, Shovel can drink elixirs, but increasing her Strength doesn't help her since her attacks always use Dexterity.
