I don't really think this is true. My guess is that there are now people on the forum who could win something like 50% of their games of Sil if they were trying to win (rather than trying out new builds). It is certainly possible to get into situations where luck is needed to survive, but that misses the point that the skill is needed to not get into those situations.
Regarding diggers, all characters can have a Mattock by 100 ft if they want one. They are difficulty 3 to forge, so even a human with zero grace can get one for 1,100 experience at that point. For a Feanorian it is 0 experience, but you may choose to use the free ability and free forge uses on other things -- that is their choice. A mattock of normal weight only requires strength 2 to use, and you can make lighter ones too.
