Combat Shovel (3.5e Equipment)

The Combat Shovel is a larger version of the combat spade. It is in effect a shovel, but balanced for use as a two-handed bludgeoning weapon in a pinch. As a shovel, it provides a +2 to any bonuses related to digging, and can generate a 5 foot square 5 foot deep hole in soil, sand, or other soft grounds within 2 rounds of digging. It is also functional as a crowbar. As a weapon, it is not sharped like the combat shovel but is wieghted for maximum impact against unwilling skulls.

A combat spade functions as both a shovel and a crowbar, and is usually not identified as a weapon, making it easier to sneak in where weapons may not be allowed.
