Shot In Motion

If a person is wounded, killed, or otherwise prevented from attacking while they already have a strike in motion, it is not interrupted and can be completed as though they were not wounded, killed, etc. This should be a clear case of finishing an already thrown shot, meaning that it requires no change of direction and the last action required to finish the shot 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 otherwise have no time limit 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 Shadowstep.

(Dev Note: This will be revised as necessary once abilities are released)
