[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 7000823, member: 6778044"] For the most part, the called shots allow attempting to hit an unarmored location, or cause one of several conditions, incapacitated, blinded, or prone. Things that spells can do. Targeting a limb is basically 5 AC points higher. So 15 AC without a helmet. You have disadvantage on the attack, although under the right conditions you can cancel that. Then the target usually gets a saving throw, so it's tough to make it work, and if you fail it might provoke an opportunity attack. It's best when you would normally have advantage, and is really only useful if you're well trained (higher level), and particularly if you're a higher level than the target. It works pretty well actually. A few have extra effects that are possible, for example, a sap attempt knocks the creature out on a critical, or if they fail their save by more than 5. If you're wearing a helmet, you have advantage on the saving throw against a sap attempt. [/QUOTE]
