Rewords Flaw information to be less misleading (and a tiny fix for broken glasses debuff) #1401

About The Pull Request

A lot of these flaws have always been worded to be as confusing as possible to everyone on the server. (Especially newbies.) They don't do anything BUT debuff you, despite the wording implying +int or +per that's just dumbass wording lol.

This also removes the totally fucking random MINUS TWENTY FORTUNE (Luck) the Steward gets for breaking his glasses. He can be blind but that makes no sense what the fuck man. Just break his glasses and then INSTANT crit him? No. Dumb, lol.

Why It's Good For The Game

The flaws need more depth in general but this is the first step to at least making these less confusing.

Explanation for people who can't press "view changed files and look for the color green and red": No Arm? Now says Wood Arm that mentions it is flammable. Cyclops doesn't say it makes you more perceptive, that is a lie. Who wrote that, fucking lol. Paranoid now tells you that BLOOD makes you paranoid as well as other races. (It has always done this, it just did not say it.) And the addiction debuff timer is now 40 mins instead of 30 (or 25 for devout, so I will spam admins less now sry guys) meaning it will need to be sated 2-3 times per average 2hr game if you spawn at roundstart. It literally is just a debuff that you need to cleanse with the addiction clearing item (or *pray), and is super easy to clear so it should just be less annoying to deal with overall.

Just less irritating shit to deal with and explain. QOL fix. People should want to engage with flaws as an "RP flavor enhancer" instead of literally a chore to do. Which is what they currently are unless you pick Devout and Zizo sets you on fire which can be funny.

No actual CHANGES to the flaws, JUST how the stuff is worded so we maybe see "why can't I move my fingers" in mentorhelp less. Except removing -20 Fortune from bad eye havers when they break their glasses because that's COSMICALLY unlucky wtf lol.

Edit: Disregard this entire thing. I get what you’re going for.
