Pickaxe

Extra Info:
pickaxe

Its head is a shard of fullerite, pointed on one end and flat on the other. Its handle is a pole of fiberglass wrapped in fraying wood.

Perfect

A simple, if uncommon, digging implement. It will destroy any wall after eight successful penetrations.

For walls with a high armor value (AV), it may take quite a few attempted hits to penetrate with the pickaxe. However, the player is always guaranteed to penetrate on a critical hit (a roll of 20 on the 1d20 hit roll). As a result, with patience, even the most well-armored wall can be destroyed.

Considerations

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • Although it will destroy walls with eight successful penetrations, it is not particularly effective compared to the Nanopneumatic jackhammer or Burrowing Claws due to its poor inherent penetration.
