Hit Locations

Hit location tables have been included to differentiate between the different forms of attacks involved with different weapons. All slashing weapons may use Table II.E.-1, as well as slashing attacks made by animal claws and the like. All chopping attacks may use Table II.E.-2 to determine the location of the strike. All thrusting and penetrating weapons may use Table II.E.-3, including animal bites and stings. All blunt objects may use Table II.E.-4.

When opponents of extreme height difference combat one another, this difference modifies the hit location. For each foot of difference in height, add or subtract respectively an additional d10 to the rolled hit location. For example, a dwarf of four feet in height attacks a human of six feet. When the dwarf roll his to hit location, subtract 2d10 from his location roll. When the human retaliates, added 2d10 to her location roll. If the number generated is not on the chart, reroll the location. This modifier applies only to the hit location roll, and never to the actual attack roll.
