Title : bleed change

Bleed was changed a tiny little bit. Now, to break away from
the bleed does not require only a combat check but a little bit
of combat and a little bit of resistance - equal parts. The
problem with the previous approach was that (remember, bleed
stops you from moving or doing any skills) those characters
that most relied on skills have the lowest combat (re: mages,
thieves, etc).

The idea being, if you were bleeding a big nasty barbarian, then
he was quite capable of breaking free (due to his combat) BUT
he was also less in need of breaking free (b/c he is still doing
combat damage). Mages, on the other hand - for instance - get
completely cheesed and could not only not move nor cast a single
spell. So, anyway.

Should be a little better against combat classes and a little
worse against skill classes now. Wow, more balanced.
