| Jan 7, 2016 at 17:23 | comment | added | gomad | I would say it is this ever-compounding fractal of complexity that the designers of 5e strove to avoid. Sorry if I sounded grumpy in the above comment, but the question is How (if at all) should the attack roll be modified when targeting a specific body part? Not How should I resolve the effect of the action? | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 9:20 | comment | added | Alexis Wilke | I would disagree saying that disadvantage would make it too easy to reach the part you want. I would rather see a Dexterity fight between the attacker and target. That way agile targets have a better chance to avoid your hit. But even that seems like too simple. Maybe a combo of both Dexterity check and disadvantage. | |
