mob bashing

Alright, a couple of tweaks have gone in.

1. While the last few days have seen denizens with a 2/3 chance of
staying on the same target when someone else hits it, I've reduced that
chance to 1/7th of the time.

2. There are now limits on how many auto-assisting denizens will rush to
support a friend. What happens is you attack a denizen and the game will
check how many non-berserk (ie denizens that attack anyone they see),
non-player-controlled denizens are attacking you. If it is at or above
the limit for your level, no denizens will rush to support their friends
against you.

The level-based limits are:
Levels 1-29: 2 denizens attacking.
Levels 30-59: 3 denizens attacking
Levels 60-89: 4 denizens attacking
Levels 90-100: 5 denizens attacking
Anyone actually in Dragon form: 10 denizens attacking (Dragons are big!
Lots to love...lots to attack....like Estach...)

We'll see how this works. Feel free to discuss it on the forums, as I
will be paying close attention to threads regarding these bashing
changes.

Penned by my hand on the 14th of Mayan, in the year 376 AF.
