Sorry, forgot to reply. 1. Which brings me to another point; that tools, like pickaxes, are not supposed to be used when fighting monsters. Weapons should always be preferable to tools on that matter, except for when you don't want to switch, like when mining meteorite and fighting Meteor Heads at the same time.

4. NPC = Non Player Character. Monsters/mobs are not considered characters/NPCs in games. No, it wouldn't necessarily "break" the game I guess. I just see it as a lot of trouble balancing weapons out with it, buffing, nerfing, for something that's unnecessary to the game. This is just my opinion of course.
