Sep 4, 2010 at 0:04 | comment | added | aramis | D&D never had hit locations at all; my mode imposes a penalty on any use of the injured location. (much the same as in the CORPS system by BTRC.) So I don't need to know what the injury itself is, just where it is and how bad. A permanent -5 to the hand, for example, is probably a missing thumb or several fingers, or a palsy, and applies to weapon attacks, picking pockets, etc... | |
