Update 03 - Oops, I should have waited!

So, this is a pretty big one. It's bigger than my last update just a little bit ago. I've been doing an audit of my rules while I prepare for a special game, and I've found yet more places I could improve; I've added new functionality to certain items, a new weapon and a whole slew of balancing. This should be the last update for a while; I've gone through everything with a much finer brush, and I like where the game is at.

Read the new stuff carefully! Things like Helpless are a bit tougher to deal with, but more rewarding if you can score it on enemies.
