Anarcis 06-17-06, 04:36 AM	Does anyone have some houserules concerning decapitation and/or dismemberment? I'm planning a cmpaign where mechanical and magical grafts are quite prominent, so I'm in need of some fair rules on losing body parts. Any help would be appreciated.

This table is our houserules for crits which covers losing limbs. Critical Hit Table If a possible critical hit occurs then roll the second d20 as normal. If it does hit the target the second roll also determines the severity of the critical with specific injuries. Only the base d20 roll is applied. Do not include the attackers attack bonus. For example if on the second d20 a 15 is rolled this would be the severity of the critical with specific injuries. 1-14 Normal Critical 15 Normal Critical + Free Trip attempt 16 Normal Critical + Free Disarm attempt 17 Arms - Roll d10 1-5 Weapon arm struck Fortitude save DC 18 or stunned d4 rounds Reflex save DC 16 or Drop Weapon Stunned d4 rounds Bleeding at 1 per round Damage taken is percentage of losing limb 6-10 Shield arm struck Shield Destroyed – No further damage No shield - Fortitude save DC 18 or stunned d4 rounds Bleeding at 1 per round Damage taken is percentage of losing limb 18 Legs Fortitude save DC 18 or stunned d4 rounds Reflex save DC 16 or is knocked prone Bleeding at 2 per round Damage taken is percentage of losing limb 19 Torso Fortitude save: DC18 or death in 2d8 rounds. Light Armour: +2 on Save, Medium Armour: + 4 on save, Heavy Armour: +6 on save Stunned d6 rounds Bleeding at 3 per round 20 Head Fortitude save DC 18 or death d4 rounds Helmet gives + 6 on Fortitude save Stunned for d6 rounds and is shaken Bleeding at 1 per round

I have posted this before, It is a hit location table I made some time ago, I rarely use it in my games. Just roll a d10 and see what gets diced! For special creatures or some special damaging effect, use the table below. 1d10 Hit Locations 1-2 Hand: -1 to strength or dexterity. 3-4 Arm: -2 strength. 5 Eye: -2 to all checks involving Appraise, craft, decipher script, disable device, forgery, open lock, search, sense motive, spell craft, spot, and survival (for tracking) checks; initiative and dexterity checks; ranged attack rolls; reflex saving throws. Severe damage to both eyes causes blindness. 6 Head: -2 intelligence, wisdom or charisma. 7 Torso: -2 strength, dexterity, constitution or attack rolls. 8 Ear: -2 to all checks involving listen checks, initiative checks. Severe damage to both ears causes deafness. 9 Foot: Base speed reduced by 25%, and -1 strength or dexterity. 10 Leg: Base speed reduced by 50%, and -2 dexterity. William
