Enemy Psi Changes

I got tired of seeing sectoids and modded psionics always land on my Long War of the Chosen soldiers. I'm also really lazy and don't want to modify every... single... characterstats.ini file I see, so I made this mod to bring them down a notch, but more automatically.

What this mod does:
1. Makes all psionic abilities have a base chance of success at 50%. For the most part, this actually does nothing since most psionic abilities already had that. Some however (*cough* *cough* mindspin) had higher chances, so those got normalized.

2. Brings down the psi offense of units based off a simple formula. If you've played Elden Ring and know how its soft caps work for stats, then it's basically like that. If you don't know what that means read on!

Full process:
1. This mod looks at an enemy's psi offense.
2. It creates a new psi offense replacement stat, but does not replace the enemy's psi offense stat yet.
3. The new psi offense starts at 0 and increases by 1 for each psi offense the enemy has, UP UNTIL A CERTAIN POINT.
4. After the first threshold is reached, the new psi offense increases by 1, but instead of for each point of psi offense the enemy has, it's for every 2 points. UP UNTIL A CERTAIN POINT.
5. After the second threshold is reached, the new psi offense increases by 1, but for every 4 points of the original psi offense.
6. The final threshold is used indefinitely until a cap of 200 psi offense is reached OR the new psi offense has exhausted all of the original psi offense of the original enemy.

Some final notes:
The mod does not touch avatars since they're kinda unique.

The mod's soft caps, enemy blacklist (only used for avatars at the moment), and base psi success chance are all configurable.

This mod should be compatible with the base game, though all of my testing has been through Long War of the Chosen, so I can't say that for certain.
