At one point in the movie the daughter is in a car crash or something and loses her spleen. My friend leaned over in the theater and asked in a whisper "What's a spleen do?" My brother whispered back "I don't know, but its important!"For some reason that cracked us up.So now I want to make a hackmaster like d20 monster that rips out a spleen when it causes a critical hit. Unfortunately I don't know what functions a spleen does.The dictionary says it has various functions in modifying the structure of blood and was formerly considered the seat of certain emotions.Can anybody shed light on this, the second one is interesting and has potential in a mystical sense, but what emotions? Is it the second definition: malice, spite or bad temper? Thus venting your spleen would be pouring out your hate?alternatively what would be good game effects for the medical effects of a spleen attack as opposed to the symbolic ones?</blockquote>
