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.
Wait what?! I thought that ball was just a random item he brings you that you can throw so he'd fetch it. It summons him?!
Yep, it's awesome to let him get the last hit in on a hard boss.
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.
You can just summon him again (after rest) And he wil stil be back in camp if he dies during a fight. Just like any familiar.
Good to know!
At the moment I'm playing a Githyanki. She's taking (almost) any advantage she can.
