v0.7.1: balance adjustments:

- tomahawk damage scaling reduced to +2/+2, from +2/+3
- throwing hammer damage scaling increased to +2/+5 from +2/+4
- damage multipliers for sniper abilities now include strength bonus (this is a nerf to flurry and snapshot)
- thrown weapons now get a 50% accuracy bonus when used at range
- removed sniper accuracy bonus
