Monster Hunter Sharpness for melee weapons, by Mafe

This mod tries to port, as close as possible, the Sharpness mechanic from Monster Hunter series into Horizons Gate. In the most simple way possible I could do gameplay-wise. This system only affects you, the player, not enemies btw.

Weapon Erosion is shared between you melee, non-unarmed weapons, and it represents the actual condition of those. When you use a melee attack (non-unarmed), there is a chance to gain 1 stack of "Erosion" (up to 10). The heavier or more power a weapon is, the less chance to gain an stack are. Each Erosion stack reduces the melee damage you do by 5% per stack.

Spending a turn not acting (witouth charging/casting) removes all the Erosion stacks and gives 1 level of "Sharpness" (up to 10). Sharpness prevents the rise of Erosion while active, and increases you melee damage by a fixed 1 per stack (ignores defenses on calculations). Melee attacks reduces you Sharpness stacks by 1 till they reach 0.

By using a scissor over a Flopfish/Blopfish, it will give you a Sharpenning Fin consumable item. When used, it removes all the stacks of Erosion and instantly gives you 5 or more levels of "Sharpness".
