Updated the Swing Speed calculation to seconds: -1 tick for every 30 stamina, -1 tick per 30% SSI
Fixed a flagging issue that involved attacking another player while in animal form

It is no longer possible to use a smoke bomb while paralyzed
Ki attack no longer works with archery

This is what it was to look like initially...
