Rebalancing Stuff

[Gram]

(avoiding enhancements in anticipation of the new enhancement system not being completely horrible)

General Stuff:

Air Elementals
Change from constant knockdown to once per 12 seconds, constant knockback to once per 6 seconds, give gust of wind a save, and give hobbits a check to stand from gust knockdown

Armor Bonuses on non-armor (bracers, robes, etc)
Add directly to physical resistance, but not stack with physical resistance of actual armor or benefit from bab

Balance

Disease vs Heal Skill
Allow the higher of fortitude save OR highest Heal skill in the vicinity to remove(as per pnp)

Earth Elementals
Change earthgrab to have either a maximum range or require line of sight, if not both

Gelatinous Cubes
Change to not being randomly immune to negative energy damage

Giants
The sweep attack should not automagically knock everything back, and Tor giants shouldn't be immune to negative energy damage

Make mobs roll to confirm their critical hits

Mob Impairment
Change (back) to make an impaired mob (stoned, stunned, held, sapped, etc) cancel their current attack and stop moving (more of a bug fix)
