Called shot to the...

Yeah, believe it or not, I've had a player that has insisted on doing a lot of brawling action and has wanted more specific rules for doing called shots to the groin. The biggest issue is that kicking someone in such a tender area isn't likely to kill them unless you kick them so hard you shatter the pelvis. So, I've prepared the following document to satisfy his needs.

A friend in our gaming group has volunteered to illustrate it. In the 13 pages that follow you'll find one or two images on each page. Mostly it's charts for all the variables on hit rolls and damage rolls.

I really hope this enriches your game.

Thanks, Raven. I was a little nervous that the "vomiting" result might have been a bit much, but given that it's a realistic response in many cases I decided to throw it in.

Reminds me of one of the first SW-RPG campaigns I played in. The GM introduced an expanded damage chart to reflect that some of his evil aliens could literally get blown to pieces and reform themselves, so you basically had to do the T-1000 treatment on them (i.e. blowing them apart and then incinerating the remains before the creature could regenerate). Above Mortally Wounded and Dead, he had Dismembered, Blown To Bits, Red Mist and Vaporized. For these nasty aliens, you had to keep hitting them with an area effect weapon like a flamethrower or a scatter blaster until you pushed them all the way to Vaporized or else they would eventually reform and come after you again.

Is it wrong that I really do want this to enrich my game?
