Title : Weaponry

There was a fairly major bug in weaponry such that any weaponry
type that switched damage types periodically (i.e. a red dragon
does either fire or claw damage) was NOT getting switched. Thus
a red dragon was perpetually doing claw damage despite the
damage messages you were seeing. This has been remedied thanks
to Pinkdaisy and myself. This means that all weaponry types
now do the proper damage type, so you might see an increase
in the damage you do! This is a relatively recent bug so
shouldn't effect class balance, but it does mean that some
classes that weren't doing as well as they should red
dragon vs undead for example) will now do better. And yes,
it was an actual bug. Some of you might have noticed that
corpsed were coming up "shredded corpse of X" no matter what.

This effects a ton of classes including all colored dragons,
medusa, worm, juggernaught and possibly a few others.
