Bug - Not A Bug buffed_hit_stat wrong

something seems wrong with buffed_hit_stat().
As a level 8 Pastamancer, wielding Thor's Pliers, I have 42 (39) Mus.

If only I was so powerful

You can't miss with Thor's Pliers. I think it's correct?

Huh. That's an interesting and unexpected twist. I'll have to work around that.

What are you doing with that value where comparing it to the monster's defense (which works fine in this case) isn't sufficient?

My guess would be using it for expected weapon damage calculations.

Yes, this.
No too hard to work around, just interesting and unexpected.

It's also wrong because buffed_hit_stat includes passive bonuses to hit chance (crab claw technique when wielding accordion, master of surprising fist when unarmed).
Perhaps there should be buffed_damage_stat to account for these differences (and the technically possible chance that some weapons use different stat for to-hit and damage calculations)?
There's current_hit_stat, but that just returns *which* stat.
Is there even any passive skill/modifier/... (not combat skill) that would increase "buffed stat used for calculating damage" without also increasing that buffed stat?

Is it really important to have a built-in function that's just the equivalent of my_buffedstat( current_hit_stat() ) ?
