I absolutely love this little guys energy and enthusiasm! Not to fond of his basic ideas themselves sometimes but his energy and enthusiasm is just spectacular! Lol. Lots of love and congrats to everyone involved in his (I'm guessing it's a he?) creation! I just wish he was somehow permanent! Maybe even for some weird reason tied into Gale's storyline for some reason? Just a thought. Maybe someone divine out there is in the works in some way. No I don't mean Mystra, she isn't going to have an evil quasit. Lol. Or just go with the simple fact of allowing any wizard the ability to learn the spell "summon Shovel" and make that a thing. Or even just let ANYONE learn it and summon him like a normal familiar/companion. Personally I hate the fact that anyone and everyone can use any scroll no matter what it is or what their ability scores are but that's just the way the game is I guess. This leads me to another question actually, why do warlocks actually get the cool ability to summon quasits or imps but wizards just get the normal garbage that really is useless? This isn't a complaint it's an actual question. Is it the whole "warlock/demonic ties" thing and that's that? Why are there only demonic warlocks? No good beings want to give a warlock power? Is the warlock intended to be just evil?
There are some games that just have really memorable characters and Baldur's Gate is definitely the one that I'm talking about. Minsc and Boo in both BG 1 and 2 and definitely Cespinar in BG 2 are who I am talking about. Now in BG 3 we have Shovel! I very much would love to see Larian make him permanent somehow. In all honesty what is Shovel's actual purpose in this game anyway? Lol.
All of the questions I have asked are 100% actual honest questions I am asking. None are intended to be a complaint in any way. I know some of my posts are indeed complaints but all of this post is 100% positive and sincere. I have to say that about 98-99% of what I know about 5th edition I have learned from BG 3. I don't actually play in a local group anymore. I did finally pick up a 5th edition PHB but have barely looked at it to be honest.
Ok, I do actually have a small complaint that I have to add. Sorry. Why does Shovel disappear when you do a long rest? It doesn't even seem to matter if he's hurt at all either. I can (unhappily) understand that he dissapears once he's killed. Ok. That makes sense. But he never took any damage. Just decided to bail on me overnight. Lol.
Please give us a way to make Shovel (the quasit, not the tool) permanent!
