[QUOTE="med stud, post: 3976549, member: 1211"] Without any problems at all. If we assume that HP is the amount of beating needed to get someone out of a fight and not necessarily kill them, then "vital spot" would mean "a body part crucial for fighting". When fighting a zombie or a golem: -Non vital spot: Slashing up the side, piercing the abdomen, breaking ribs. -Vital spot: Breaking a knee or cutting off an arm. The increased damage due to the sneak attack in this circumstance is that by attacking body parts the zombie needs for fighting, you take out of the battle earlier. Note that this works out perfectly well against living creatures as well; without your leg, it doesn't matter if you are Miyamoto Musashi. I think many sneak attack descriptions tend to overemphasis the "vital" aspect as in "necessary for prolonged survival" (prolonged as in minutes-hours-days) instead of "needed to get someone to stop fighting in 6-12 seconds".
