Weapon Re-balancing

All weapons have been re-balanced and normalized into categories of weapons by weapon skill. Within these groups weapons are defined with the same dice roll, speeds, and durability. Each melee weapon skill has an interrupt, light, medium, and heavy category of weapon(s). Archery also follows with a light, medium, and heavy.

Minimum damages have been raised across the all weapons to provide slightly more consistent damage.
Durability debuff is now applied gradually from max weapon hits to one. A weapon's effectiveness at 1 hit will be roughly 50% of its potential.
The chance to hit calculation has been reset to be in line with UO.
- With equal weapon skills the attacker will have a 50% chance of successfully hitting the victim.
The mining bonus for fencing weapons has been removed.
Combat swing timers have been overhauled for improved performance and accuracy.
Active Weapon Abilities will no longer appear.
Lumberjacking bonus reworked, now applies in PvP.
Fletching bonus reworked, now applies in PvP.
