Scratch is the bestest of the best boys. I think he got even better with the new patch. Maybe too good. I threw the vial of smokepowder to blast through a wall. And the good boy thinks I want to play fetch. So while everyone runs away from the wall and I’m getting ready to IGNIS the good boy fetches the smokepowder and brings it back.
Good dog.
I wish Scratch and the owlbear cub could come with me on my adventure instead of only staying at camp. The dog could have been a way to uncover the buried treasures 100% of the time and such. Like both sniffing them out and digging them up if you didn’t have a shovel.
But Scratch actually can come with you. You can summon him with a ball he brings you.
And then he at least sniffes out buried treasure. I don’t consider it to be meta gaming when I dig around after everyone failed their survival checks, when Scratch is pointing somewhere.
I had Scratch out once. I got into a fight and tried to use his abilities, got him killed with an AOE, reloaded the save, and never left camp with him again.
I don’t care what buried treasure I’m missing, Scratch is far too precious to risk his safety like that.
