Realish Weapons & Armor

This is an overhaul of all weapon values to scale with the KCD2 health points of 100, as well as complete reworking of armor defense values. In addition, open faced helmets do little to protect the face, and head-shot damage increased.

Specific damage types such as Smash, Slash, or Stab are not exclusive to any weapon or projectile type and are applied based upon the visual model of the weapon, or purpose of the projectile. Crossbows and Bows now do comparable damage. Bullets are now primarily Stab damage rather than exclusively Smash, making metal armor more effective at deflecting Firearms.

Armor defense values are based on real-world observations and extrapolating from there. Weapon weights are based upon median museum examples, then compared to approximate equivalent in-game models. Weapon durability is determined by weapon robustness and haft reinforcement. Shields will often break during prolonged combat. Minimum Strength and Agility requirements for the use of all weapons have been lowered to more consistent levels.

Armor Types: (As determined by the in-game model and description)
- Plate: Rigid tempered steel.
- Composite: Plate combined with Laminar or Brigandine.
- Laminar: Steel or iron, riveted to layers of leather.
- Mail: Riveted rings of steel or iron.
- Fabric: Layered linen and/or wool.
- Brigandine: Steel or iron plates, riveted in fabric.

Damage Types and Mitigation:
- Stab: Plate, Composite are strong, Brigandine, Laminar moderate defense, Mail, Fabric weak.
- Slash: Plate, Brigandine, Mail, Composite strong, Laminar moderate defense, Fabric 'weakest'.
- Smash: Plate, Composite 'strongest', Brigandine, Laminar moderate defense, Fabric, Mail weak.
