  1. Bodypart Damage;how does it work?
  2.  
  3. As we all know, everyone has a number of hit points that, when reduced, causes a nondescript arbitrary injury of some significance that no one cares about until it reduces a combat stage they actually use or it hits a threshold where you've lost a number of hit points that you actually begin to notice it or you become Heavily Injured and now doing things have consequences.
  4.  
  5. Back in PTA, there was mention of broken limbs, in AEB there are a few items/abilities that reference regeneration of severed limbs. But no detail into how one would break or lose a limb and what effects it would have. This here is to handle those mysteries.
  6.  
  7. What's the purpose?
  8.  
  9. The purpose isn't to make the game more complicated (because it does, and yes, I'm aware of it) but instead to offer an interesting and new approach to combat situations as well as introduce another level of realism/simulationism into the game. People break bones, have sprains, lose limbs and having someone chop at your arm with a sword just might lop it off. Or vice versa, that being, you trying to cut off the other guys head. It's also there to make combat more deadly and less desirable as bad things happening is more likely.
  10.  
  11. How's it work?
  12.  
  13. Well, the short of it is, you gots some bodyparts that has HP and take damage separately from your current HP. If it hits 0 HP, bad things happen. If they continue to take damage, more bad things happen. If you lose the limb, you might die, depending on what limb it is or you might start bleeding to death if it doesn't outright kill you.
  14.  
  15. The long part of it is the mechanic listed below. As a note, I only did Bipedal Tailless since that's what most of the trainers are. If this ends up being interesting to people I can easily finish the rest of the bodyshapes - and no - it won't be an equal playing field as some bodyshapes have more limbs or less.
  16.  
  17.  
  18.  
  19. Called Shots and Bodyparts
  20.  
  21. If you do not Call Shot a particular Bodypart when you hit and deal damage a Bodypart will be randomly determined to suffer damage, resisting it one additionally step.
  22.  
  23. If you do Call Shot a particular Bodypart, you suffer an accuracy penalty for doing so depending on the bodypart being targeted and if you hit the Bodypart suffers damage normally (that is, it won't resist the damage an additional step).
  24.  
  25. Regardless of whether or not you perform a Call Shot, the targets Current HP suffers the damage as it normally would.
  26.  
  27.  
  28.  
  29. Bodyparts and damage
  30.  
  31. When a bodypart is reduced to 0 or less HP the creature suffers an injury and the bodypart becomes disabled. If the bodypart suffers damage again it becomes crippled. If the bodypart suffers damage while crippled, the creature suffers an injury and the bodypart becomes broken. If the bodypart is reduced to -200% HP or less, after its been broken, the bodypart is severed.
  32.  
  33. In some cases a severed bodypart kills the creature but otherwise the creature begins bleeding out continually until it is medically treated or the bodyparts HP (despite being severed) is restored to 1 or more HP.
  34.  
  35.  
  36. Healing bodypart damage
  37.  
  38. Some abilities, features or items will restore damaged bodyparts to their former glory. However, damaged bodyparts can recover on their own as long as its only as bad as broken. A severed bodypart cannot heal on its own.
  39.  
  40.  
  41.  
  42. Bodyparts and HP
  43.  
  44. Bodyparts have their own, separate, HP from the creatures current or Max HP. Though, their own HP is based on the creatures Max HP, and the reduced HP from injuries does not affect any bodyparts HP.
