Reduces the chance for grenades to go off in your hands (#3441)
<!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may not be viewable. --> <!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull request process. --> ## About The Pull Request This change reduces the probability of a grenade blowing up in one's hands from 15% down to 5%. Please let me know if this probability is too low. I just chose an oddball low number to use. The check was also modified so that the dice roll is only made if a projectile hits a hand holding a grenade. ## Why It's Good For The Game It always felt a little too high of a chance to me. The probability roll happens for _each_ projectile that one gets hit with, and with how often and how rapidly one can be hit in a firefight here, the chance of it blowing up in ones hands goes from being somewhat unlikely to being more likely to happen than not.  This calculator gives the probability of the event occurring as being 68% likely, if one were shot 7 times. This is around how many shots it takes to bring someone down, on average, from my anecdotal experience. This currently has the effect of making grenades useful in only a few very specific scenarios. If the probability of this were to go down, it would encourage the use of grenades more, which I feel can enhance fights. ## Changelog :cl: balance: rebalanced the probability of a grenade going off in one's hands /:cl: <!-- Both :cl:'s are required for the changelog to work!
