        Each monster attack has different Knockback_Value.
        If attack bas blocked, monster's Knockback_Value is compared to current weapon's Knockback_Threshold, resulting in Light/Medium/Heavy hit.
        Character then loses 10/25/40 stamina modified by Stamina_Depletion_Modifier.
        Not enough stamina - no block, full hit, 100% damage. Otherwise there will be only 0%/10%/20% chip damage, affected by defense.

        !st value is bonus to Knockback_Threshold.
        2nd value is Stamina_Depletion_Modifier.

        Lv 1 10 1.00
        Lv 2 10 0.85
        Lv 3 20 0.85
        Lv 4 20 0.70
        Lv 5 30 0.50
