Title: Update fire.kod

Removed inability to parry arrows.

Quote Anax: "

Allows players to parry arrows shot at them from other players.

I don't see any reason why in a fantasy game a person could not knock an arrow out of the air with a weapon.

However this push is mostly a small step at melee weapons VS bow balance. Player can still not parry using a bow, so now a player gets a boost to their defense rating while using a melee weapon vs a player who can attack them at range.

Melee has a long way to go to even come close to being able to compete with bows but this to me feel like a simple way slightly improve the odds.

Note: I left in players not being able to parry chieftain attacks simply to reserve their difficulty."

Considering there are so very few ways to achieve good defense values currently. I see no issue with this.
