[QUOTE="SavageCole, post: 8079246, member: 6750284"] A couple things about Mythras hit locations. 1) Having hit locations is a detail that people enjoy in play. Not just for the fun description that comes with it and inherent mechanical effects that come from blows to different body parts, but also because piecemeal armor can be a lot of fun. 2) I don't do a separate/additional d20 hit location roll in Mythras. Instead I took a page out of WFRP4's book and simply transpose the hit d%. So if I hit with a 30 it lands at 03, or a 19 lands at 91. Easy peasy. 3) A big part of Mythras combat is the Effects that are created by outrolling your opponent. It adds a lot to the game, and the crunch and choice paralysis can be removed or gradually amped up. The reason I raise this is that one of the choices you have when you out-roll a foe is to choose hit location. In other words, while the defender is doing his best to guard your attack is so well timed and well placed that you are able to hit him where you want rather than having to settle for what he left available to you. The more I play Mythras, the more I love it. [/QUOTE]
