Other

Combat
- Bone weapons have slightly less durability.

- Layout revision to the OS Config menu to make viewing status effect icon/details better.
- Weapons and arrows that are embedded in creatures will not display their floating icon until the weapon/arrow becomes dislodged. This cleans up some icon spam when using a bow.
