If its a blugeoning weapon a limb is rendered useless.  If it drops you below zero and negative ten your head just got crushed.If its a piercing weapon you don't loose a limb.  If a piercing weapon drops you below zero and negative ten, you just got it through the eye, mouth, throught, or nose.optionally you can say that any damage a piercing weapon does in the negs also counts for half a point (i.e. subtract one from higher stat, then another from other stat, alternate until neg damage is accouneted for) of permanent con and str loss due to pierced organs.  1d4left armright armleft legright legCritical hits in combat that do not drop the character into negative hit points chop off fingers, destroy eyes, leave scars, or leave no apparent mark.1d41. eye lost2. finger(s) lost3. scar4. No noticeable damage.healing:  All these rules work with the currenthealing rules... piercing weapons may become a bit more dangerous.Considring the ammount of times D&D characters go into the negative hit points and the frequency of missing limbs in medieval combat, this pretty much works.  Aaron.</blockquote>
