Subject: [PATCH] Combat Changeling Nerfs

- Armblade and Chitinous Armor cost from 20 to 25.
- Made armor values for chitinous helmet consistent with chitinous
armor, minor increase to the energy resistance of the armor.
- Resonant and Dissonant Shriek costs from 20 to 30.
- Dissonant Shriek light EMP range from 5 to 4, heavy EMP range is
unchanged and remains 2.
