I know that on a CRIT you are supposed to be able to do anything. Or almost anything. But when do you limit what you can do? Can you cut off an arm, or shoot a man's eyes to make him blind.
Can you do something else, can you do anything special? OR does it just mean you hit a vital spot?

D&D rules do not cover any "special damage" situation except for very rare situation
If you want something like that you must house rule it but you're going to be in a very dangerous terrain. Because if a warrior can blind you with a sword slash, why a BIG 9 meter diameter fireball do not do the same thing? Logically the fireball would SURELY blind someone more than a sword!
The game mechanics of D&D system do not support "located damage" and if you add it in the game you REALLY must think VERY WELL to each unbalancing that could go in and adjust a very lot of things

Huh? a critical hit means that the base damage and all non-variables are multiplied by the indicator in the weapon. Or are you talking of something else?
