The following rules are a guideline for DM’s and players alike for the use of called shots and the consequences of performing a called shot. •    You must announce that you are attempting a Called shot at the beginning of your turn. This is considered to be a standard action. •    You must roll a successful Concentration check (DC 13). If you fail you loose your attack for the round, and burn your Called shot for that round. However you can still move and perform a move action. Note: If you have the Weapon focus feat with the weapon in question this negates the need for a concentration check. •    Delivering a called shot provokes an attack of opportunity (AOO) from threatening foes (other than your target) because it involves focused concentration, and methodical actionOnce these criteria are met you can attempt a Called Shot. You receive a called shot penalty to your attack roll, as per the chart below for the appropriate body location. A DM may increase this penalty if the target area is particularly well protected by armor or the target is rapidly moving. Please note that when calculating the AC of a body location that areas that are unprotected by the targets armor (usually the head) do not receive the targets armor bonus. If you attempt to hit a specific part of the body (such as the hand, on an arm, the eyes or mouth, or a hamstring) the called shot penalty increases by 3.                                  CALLED SHOTSBody LocationHead -8Sensory Organ -8Mouth -6Body (torso) -3Tail (abdomen) -3Appendage -5(Text modified from Torn Asunder: Critical hits Copyright 2003 Bastion Press Inc.
