Shot In Motion

If a player is wounded, killed, or otherwise prevented from attacking while they are in the middle of completing a striking motion, the attack is not interrupted and the motion can be completed before they suffer the negative effect. This should be a clear case of finishing an already-thrown shot, meaning that it requires no change of direction and the last motion required to finish the strike has already been started prior to being struck.

1. Melee strikes must land within a half-second of the user being struck.
2. Projectiles must be airborne within a half-second of the user being struck, but once launched there is no time limit for it to make contact.
3. Shot in Motion only applies if the attacker is affected mid-strike. It does not apply if the defender becomes immune prior to contact, such as via an ability like Shadowstep.

Developer Note: This rule will be revisited and updated as we release new rules and effects that interact with it.
