Spears - New Weapon + Skill

Description
It has been said that the spear is the most revolutionary weapon ever invented. When the lowely Snapjaw asked themselves, "How do I stab somebody from slightly further away?" an arms race came forth that is still around to this day.

With this mod you now have access to these dreaded weapons, alongside a new skillset made exclusively for their use.

Mechanically, spears do less damage than other weapons, but have a high penetration cap and bonus, and their skillset is made for keeping you at a slight distance from your foes and taking advantage of multi-penetrations.

=========================

Skillset:
Spear Expertise: +1 to hit
Thrust - Hit up to 2 cells away (up to a 40% chance to hit both!)
Sweep - Knock down a foe in front of you
Retreat - Stab and backup
Vital Stab - Deal bonus damage if you penetrate 3+ times
Advanced Spear Form - Improve all of your spear abilities.

It wouldn't be super easy but you honestly could probably do it by doing something like handling the WeaponAfterAttack event on a part that's attached to every spear.

The game currently doesn't have the UI for multi-ranged melee weapons. It only supports 'bump attacks', basically moving into another cell.

Abilities get around this because they are their own behavior. If I was to add it to the base behavior of the spear, it'd end up touching a lot of code and might mess with too much stuff.

I remember in Graven's Spear mod, Graven considered making them with +1 range, but opted not to due to quote "buggy behavior with attack targeting". How did you get around this? Is it less buggy when tied to an ability like Thrust? Regardless very innovative mod, thank you for your work!

Ever since I was a young snapjaw, I always wanted to stab a guy who's close but not THAT close to me. Thank you for letting me live up to my dreams
