One time...
I guess my old Ref is evil then. One time we were playing Cyberpunk 2020 and a fellow PC was attacked by a crazed out borg named "Anubis". Other then the dog head, he also had a gatling gun for a left arm...that had mono-blade bayonets on the barrels. He ambushed one guy and shot him all up....he lost all four limbs! He was still alive too! Then insult to injury he fired up the gatling gun again...no bullets coming out and used it as a melee weapon to obtain a "core sample" with the whirling blades on the gatling gun. Amazingly...the player was still alive! The Med Tech got to him in time and stablized him. Later he was outfitted with 4 cyber limbs and had to have organs replaced...and enhanced. The new T-Maxx Cyberliver was a good thing...he was designated driver most of the time.
Inspired by that I did something similar to a player of mine in a 2E AD&D game. I think it was some kind of homebrew monster...I think a thing I called a Razor Beast. Anyhow they took him back...whats left of him to a cleric of a god of forging. A few days later the player left the forge/temple area with new limbs of adamantine. I think I gave him a better base armor class and gave him a higher base damage with his feet and fists. That and he had a few extra's like a spring out compartment for a dagger and stuff.
One time I had a player willingly lop off an arm to use an artifact...not not the hand of Vecna. To give you the cliff notes version...never use an item smarter then you. Now my players are very suspicous of ANY intelligent item...good or evil.
