[QUOTE="DnDChick, post: 39120, member: 54"] Here it is from [url]http://members.aol.com/CountryGrrlHere/crits.html[/url] Hit Location It is important to know what part of the body suffers a critical effect. Blows to the head or chest are potentially more lethal than to the arm or leg simply because of the number of vital organs in those areas, and a severed leg will have different consequences than a severed arm. Once it has been determined that a victim will suffer a critical effect, roll 1d20 to determine the location of the critical effect. Roll Location <2 left leg 3-4 right leg 5-8 left arm 9-12 right arm 13-18 chest/abdomen 19-20+ head/neck Option: To take into account size differences between opponents, thus making it harder if not impossible for a goblin to deal a head wound to a giant, modify the location roll by subtracting 1 for every level of size difference if the attacker is smaller. If the attacker is larger, add 1 per level of size difference. This modification to the location roll does not apply to ranged attacks of any kind. And, as to why the signatures are gone...Morrus put some restrictions on the forums so they will load faster and be less of a strain on the server. He promises that this will only be temporary. The thread regarding this is over in the Meta forum. [/QUOTE]
