New mechanic! Melee attacks are stronger on the first hit of a given swing! It is based on your level of stamina. This buffs it and adds more of a stamina management minigame! Other changes too! Also - skipped a version due to steamworks upload issues.
New Mechanic: Wielded First Strike Stamina Boost
+25% Damage, Poise Damage, and Knockback per 100 Stamina.
Applies only to the first enemy (or clank) hit in a swing of a weapon.
Applies to all wielded, non-projectile weapons, meaning most all Melee weapons, Dagger, Sanguine Orb, ect.
Leveling Strength now also levels up Stamina.
2 per level up.
1 per level up past 40 Strength.
This is to help Melee-speced users make clanking more consistent and easier.

Clanking / Parrying attacks now properly get poise damage bonuses.

High Caliber Bullets and Seeking Arrows are now properly sold in stacks of 240. They also cost roughly 10% more.
