Baddie AI can now use food, potions, and bombs, as well as switch to better weapons in their inventories when they got nothing. Added potions and finished the Alchemy and Naturalism abilities (I think). Naturalism now requires you to target a campfire or cauldron, and fuck you, yes I spelled "cauldron" wrong before. You can now bandage your entire party with rags at a campfire with the Naturalism ability, and forage for food or herbs.

-If character has less than 2 EDU, grammar in player choices now fucked up.
