Ability to equipt two pick axe's and have mining skill effect damage d

[Hurleybird]

I think it would be cool to equip two pickaxe\'s seeing as you can do that with weapon. Also, wouldn\'t improving your mining, which effects how well you use the picaxe, not also effect the damage you can do with it? The idea is in the future if monsters protect mines that you could use the pickaxe as a usefull weapon.

Your mining skill dictates how well you can mine, not gut monsters with a pick. Silly idea.

Sure... You go ahead and grab a pickaxe in both hands and you just start mining away. We\'ll see how far you get.

True ;-)
But doing more damage when equiped with a pick axe WOULD be a good idea, I think.
After, you ARE using some kind of... weapon.

I happen to have, and use, a few picks in RL.  There is no possible way you can hold two at time and use them to any effect.  They are a two handed tool, and too heavy to be used as an efective weapon, end of discusion.

well if you mine in real life you will get stronger, and get better hand-eye coordination

That you do, and also tired.
