Just a quick, crazy idea I had... I would love it if you could bonk people on the head with your shovel, not to do damage but to instantly put them into a drunk state and make them stagger and vomit for just a few seconds.
Extra Use for Shovels
@deusnecrotis said in Extra Use for Shovels:
@mythicalfable yeah, should definitely make it blockable, and since the shovel's not a weapon maybe the attacker takes a longer stun from a well timed parry... and of course anyone who's already drunk would be immune ;)
Maybe make it situational. Like while digging and in case one tries to attack you from the side. With the shovel in your hands at that point, your mate swings it at the foe spontaneously to inflict nausea which then opens a window of opportunity to either strike them with a cutlass or get far enough to look for a chance to retreat to safety.
Any drunk receiving a swing gets sober. LOL

I've often wished I could just smash skellies with my damn shovel, instead of pulling the cutlass or pistol...
Acting out the fantasy, right? ^^
@ant-heuser-kush make it a charge-up attack?
EDIT
You could also give it a loud pirate karate yell, "Hi-Yarr!" ;)
