⚔️ Core functions

**Weapon system remade**:

• Action combos that convert multiple weapons into light greatswords or banished knight swords
• Adjust weapon scaling and attributes
• Added physical defense to weapons with large gauntlets, making two-handed weapons more defensive when used with two hands

**Armor system optimization**:

• Reworked weights and properties of various armors
• Let different armor types have unique protective properties, breaking the original linear relationship
• For example: Banished Knight armor now provides higher physical protection, while standard Knight armor is lighter

📝 Development background

This mod is a balancing experiment for the development team while making their own medieval RPG game, A Dagger Amongst Swords. The development team consists of nine members, and module updates may be slow because the developer is also a full-time college student, father, and husband.

The ultimate goal is to make the game feel more "medieval" in terms of balance, providing players with a more realistic and in-depth role-playing experience.
