Changelog 1.48
# General
- Reduced HP Scale: {1:500, 20:1000, 40:1400, 60:1800, 99:2000}
- Reduced FP Scale: {1:100, 20:150, 40:200, 60:225, 99:250}
- Reduced soul gain effects.
- Reduced effect modifiers from weapons, shields, armor, goods and rings. This is to address the power inflation that has occured over the past few updates.
- Adjusted damage spread within weapon categories to within a +- 50 range. 
 - For example, the Greatsword category has been balanced around 550 as the 'median' damage, with the weakest entry, the Bastard Sword now has a total damage of 530 (-20 from median), whilst the strongest, the Twin Princes' Greatsword now has a total damage of 600 (+50 from median). 
 - This means the special weapons are still stronger on average, but the difference is longer massive between normal weapons and special weapons.
