Limbs, Aim, Regeneration

[beia]

So I am kinda wondering why we do not have the ability to cut off people's hands, legs, arms, ect..

How will it work?

You would aim MID for arms, hands, body attacks - These would be moderate damage and have a chance to slice off those limbs.

You would aim UPPER for head, neck, shoulder attacks - These would be the strongest attacks with a bit harder target to hit but when you do it does more damage.

You would aim LOWER for leg, foot, groin attacks. - This would be the average damage, and losing a limb could cause you to drain movement points faster.


Now we could also incorporate a spell called Regeneration, that the Preists can cast, also we can put in the form of potions. Healers/Shamans would obviously get this spell also.

It's only a flesh wound.

Well this is where AC could come in handy on each item slot. To prevent the crit attack that would take out the limb.

The idea of cutting off limbs isn't awful but it kind of opens a roleplay / immersion can of worms. I think I prefer the current mechanic whereby you can only do this stuff as part of a fatality.
