Combat Spade (3.5e Equipment)

The Combat Spade, also known as an Entrenching Tool or E-tool, is a common and useful part of a soldier's gear allowing for many functional utility purposes, from digging to improvised crowbar. They have also been used as frighteningly effective weapons in combat, to the point of pushing out combat knifes in favor of the versitility of the shovel. With the proper application of force, its sharp edge becomes as good as cracking through skulls as a dagger, or it may be used to bludgeon a target into submission.

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.
