v0.4.9 - Ranged weapons!

In this release, missile weapons have finally been replaced by ranged weapons, which will hopefully make Huntress more interesting. Currently only 9 are in the game, but thanks to a great pixel artist on my server, there are sprites for many, many more. Ring of Sharpshooting is also currently unavailable, will be reworked sometime.

Improvements:

• Now cannot dodge while attempting to parry

Balance:

• Bosses drop more flask charges on lower difficulties (including Normal)
• Lower gap between difficulties
• Many healing items other than PoH nerfed
• Enemies can notice the player faster (if perception roll was more than double stealth roll, roll to gain 1 suspicion on top of existing)

And, because of this rework, the "melee" weapons Crossbow and Swift Crossbow are removed, although Crossbow returns as a ranged weapon. To replace them, three new melee weapons are in the game: the Pitchfork, the Royal Halberd and the Plain Sword.
