(5.17b) Digging - common example values                                         
---------------------------------------
Some example values, assuming 0.000 'Digging' skill
and unenchanted (ie (+0,+0)) digging tools with (+1) to digging:
----------------------------------------------------------------

Without a digging tool..
-You always have a chance to remove rubble and organic material, even without
 a digging tool. Might take quite a while if your strength is low though.
-You cannot tunnel through granite wall without a digging tool if your STRength
 is below 18/180.
-You cannot tunnel through quartz without a digging tool if your STRength is
 below 18/100.
-You cannot tunnel through magma without a digging tool if your STRength is
 below 18/60.

With a digging tool..
-You can tunnel through all materials other than granite walls with just a
 basic shovel even if your STRength is only 3.
 (For quartz, you have a 3% chance to succeed at 18/50 STR with the shovel
  and at 18/10 STR with a pick. If you use an enchanted shovel (+9,+9) (+1)
  however, you already have a 3% chance to succeed at only 5 STR.)
-You cannot tunnel through granite with a basic shovel if your STRength is
 below 18/30.
-You cannot tunnel through granite with a basic pick if your STRength is
 below 12.

You can tunnel through all tunneable materials, no matter your strength, with..
-a (+1) shovel that has +hit and +dam enchanted to a total of at least +15.
-a (+1) pick that has +hit and +dam enchanted to a total of at least +6.
-any (+2) digging tool or better (except if it was cursed and therefore has too
 negative (+hit,+dam) enchantments).

For good measure a digging tool vs weapon example:
 You have 5.000 Digging skill and you are trying to fell a tree (it classifies
 as 'wood' target) and you equipped a Shovel (+1) (+0,+0) and are also wielding
 a Broad Axe (2d6) (+0,+6). Your strength is 18/20.
 The axe does provide digging power in this case as the target 'Tree' is in
 either one of 'wood' and 'fibre' categories.

 The shovel's digging power:
    (+1) x 20 + 6.0 lbs weight +0+0 (no hit/dam enchantments) = 26
    Your 5.000 skill is applied: 26 x (1 + (5.000/50.000)) = 26 x 1.1 = 28
    Digging-tool class strength bonus added: 18/30 -> +15 -> 28 + 15 = 43.
    The shovel's final digging power is 43.

 The axe's digging power:
    60 + 15.0 lbs weight + (+0+6)/2 = 60 + 15 + 3 = 78.
    Weapon class strength bonus is added: 18/30 -> +11 -> 78 + 11 = 89.
    The axe's final digging power is 89.

 So since the axe provides a better digging power against the tree, you will
 automatically be using the axe and your digging attempts will apply the axe's
 digging power of 89 instead of the (in this scenario) weaker shovel's digging
 power of 43.
