Spielerando

Let an arrow to the head hurt more and a broken leg slow the monster

Hit zones make fights about aim, but the usual version has two bugs: a head that stays a weak point after it is destroyed, and part damage that is mixed up with the creature's health. This entry shows both numbers kept apart and what a broken part does.

Why this works

Aiming should pay off, and a choice between two targets is a decision, not a chore. One part gives damage, another gives control. Using the strength the part had before the hit keeps the breaking blow from being a punishment.

When not to use it

Skip it for enemies that are too small or too fast to aim at, for games played with a controller on auto-aim, and for swarms. Give the hit a single weak side or a status effect instead.
