Dismemberment chance is too high. Also new idea for melee combat with weapons.

[Sansaur]

As it currently stays, dismemberment has a chance of happening equal to the weight class -1 by the weapon's force if said weapon is sharp and at least has a weight class of 3 (Normal weight)

That means that usually, medium sized weapons will have double their attack power in chance to dismember, and that's just crazy.

Alongside this issue I want to add an idea regarding "weapon preferences", like maybe you should be able to open up a menu regarding your character in which you could config your own "intentions" with weapon swings. For example:

• Focus on blocking, doubling the chance to parry melee attacks but disallowing attacks.
• Soft strikes, disable dismemberment or special weapon effects and reduce the damage of the weapon 10 times, just to like, strike someone with it but not hard, maybe for training sequences and stuff.
• Normal attacks, ofc.
• Attempts to disarm others with your own weapon strikes too, adding maybe the size of your weapon to some disarm chance.

This could actually be implemented with the current intentions system.

HELP = Soft strikes DISARM = Disarm with weapon GRAB = Block strikes HARM = Normal attacks.

Like the idea. I think Winters suggested something like this a while ago but the way he talked about it made it seem far too complex.

Just spit-balling but could we have it so that your proficiency with a weapon determines certain things about how it works? Like in the setup character menu you can be proficient with sharp weapons, blunt weapons, smol gun bois and bigg gun bois. I dunno how hard it'd be to implement or what it'd add to the game but eh, it's an idea.
