Combat Rebalance

This mod intends to create a more well-rounded experience with weapons and armor (especially when it comes to archery), as well as with healing items. This mod includes the following changes:

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Armor Changes:</span></span>

• New recipes!
  • Lamellar armor can now be crafted and repaired with bones; This new armor set functions as a tier between wood and copper
  • You can now repair improvised wood armor with firewood; Doing so is nearly 20% more efficient than using the wood to craft another one

• New armor stats (see Google Sheets tabs 2 &amp; 3 for full details)
  • Armor debuff values have been distributed among armor pieces in a way that better represents the amount of body coverage each piece provides, meaning head and leg armor will have less debuffs than chest armor, with a ratio of around (2/5/3) for (head/chest/leg) pieces
  • Walk speed penalties have mostly been removed from all headgear and instead been placed on chest and leg armor, with a ratio of around (1/4/5) for (head/chest/leg) pieces
  • All ranged debuffs have been moved from the head and leg pieces to the chest armor pieces, allowing rangers to equip heavier head and leg armor
  • Walk speed and hunger rate penalties have been reduced for both plate and Blackguard armor sets by roughly 30%

&nbsp;

<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 12pt;">Weapon Changes:</span>

• New recipes! - Sticks can now be crafted into arrow shafts, granting a more efficient option for crafting arrows
• New weapon stats (see Google Sheets tab 1 for full details):
  • To compensate for its unusually slow attack speed, knife damage has been buffed by around 20%
  • Damage scaling has been increased significantly between each bow upgrade, making it possible to one-shot hares and chickens before reaching bronze age
  • Arrow breakage has been reduced by around 30%

&nbsp;

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Improved Healing:</span>

• Poultices and bandages now heal around 20-25% more! (see Google Sheets tab 1 for full details); This is to keep from burning through all your flax and horsetails every fight, as well as making them more worthwhile for higher max health players
