I guess the best way to describe the way I want to GM it is: Kill Bill. If not Kill Bill, then just the usual samurai movie gore fest. NPCs usually suffer horrendous maiming or dismemberment from the PCs crits, affecting game mechanics just to be "fun". This is especially so for those guys who don't crit so often (non-sword wielders, I'm talking about you) so their criticals are more spectacular and deadly. I mean, you know that monster/NPC is gonna die, right? Might as well handicap him a little. And if he/she/it survives? The crippling wound can be a physical sign of his hatred for the PCs. Imagine the look on your PCs faces when they meet that peg-legged orc a few sessions later.  My favorite line for extreme overkill is "Not even a wet spot!" This especially used when mook gets hit with enough damage to kill it five or more times over.</blockquote>
