+changes:
+  - balance: 'Completely overhauled dismemberment and weapon sharpness. Weapons now
+      have four levels of sharpness: Blunt, Sharp, Dismember and Easy Dismember.'
+  - balance: Blunt weapons are now only able to cause dismemberment on species that
+      have the easy dismemberment trait, all of which can easily regenerate or otherwise
+      slap their dismembered limb back into place.
+  - balance: Species with the easy dismemberment trait (Skeletons, IPCs, Oozelings)
+      have a chance equal to the damage received to lose a targetted limb as long
+      as the limb was already damaged before being struck.
+  - balance: Ordinary sharp weapons such as knives and surgical tools can only dismember
+      a dead target.
+  - balance: Large weapons such as swords, axes and chainsaws are only able to dismember
+      a limb which has already been fully disabled. This means that it will take at
+      least three hits with a fire axe to take someone's leg off.
+  - balance: Bladed energy weapons have a chance equal to their damage to dismember
+      a targetted limb regardless of how much damage it has taken, in addition to
+      being guaranteed to dismember a limb that has been fully disabled by damage.
+      The nightmare's light eater is the only non-energy weapon in this group right
+      now.
+  - balance: Mobs cannot be decapitated through the simplified mechanics while they
+      are fully conscious - they must at minimum be asleep or in crit in order for
+      dismemberment to apply when targetting someone's head for balance reasons.
