Called Shot

You may encounter times when your character wants to aim a a particular part of a foe's body; to disarm, incapacitate, silent kill, etc. Such "called shots" should be dealt with using the follwing rules.

Apply an OB penalty depending on the stated point of aim:

General Area (e.g. head, right limb, etc.) -50
Specific part (e.g. forehead, hand, etc,) -75
Exact Spot (e.g. "right between the eyes") -100

In resolving the attack use only the armour type covering the body part aimed for. For example AT17 describes a metal breastplate only so a head shot would be resolved against AT1.

If the attack fails to score any damage, then an additonal roll at OB -30 should be made against the target as a whole. for example you might miss the head but hit square in the chest.
