==Recoil Adjustment==
Recoil of all Small Handgun Ammo, and .357 & .45 ACP has been increased by 2. However, for every point of Strength you have above the Weapon requirement using the bullets, the Recoil value is reduced by 1 (Except for Energy Ammo). This restores a functionality I removed previously where a high Strength character had an easier time controlling the Recoil of weapons.

==AP Rework==
The AP formula has been changed to be 5 + CEL (previously 5 + CEL/2). The main reason for this is simply because losing a single point of CEL was absolutely devastating for characters, since even numbered CEL was a very important breakpoint, and it also made odd numbered CEL feel somewhat useless except for soaking up these penalties.

'''Attack Actions'''

*'''Precision Healing''' now allows you to throw and activate Stims as well as Healing Items.
*'''Stake Out''' now reduces the Targeted Shot penalty by 15 for Targeted Shots made with a Hold action.
