Purpose of change
Per Pr0man's feedback on the discord, one issue with Eskrima is that the puno strike technique takes a lot of the utility out of using it with knives, as it frequently triggers with crits to completely negate the majority of damage for those weapons.
Describe the solution
Set puno strikes to have
weapon_damage_requirements
of 8 bashing damage, same as a cudgel. Idea here is to exclude knives from the technique and mainly limit it to weapons that have enough base bashing damage to justify using the technique.Realistically you could do haft strikes with knives just fine and they can certainly break bones if used right, but it doesn't bear out very well under current gameplay mechanics so it'd be better to reserve them for weapons that work well with it.
