Mace and short sword level swap

Easy explanation:

When you first start a character you you fight insects and rats that take good damage from short swords. Centipedes actually have bludgeon resistance so they take less damage from maces.

Meanwhile the monsters most players fight in the second teir are various types of skeletons and fungus beast that have resistances to thrust.

Changing the level for both of these skills will make leveling up easier for all newly created characters.
