Combat choice: aim bodypart only

[Tisiphone]

You can also just shoot someone in the neck as a warning shot. He probably won't die, and if he does, it serves as a very effective warning to the others.

I really like this suggestion, but I think it would be bad for the game.  Targeting a location would make it much easier to train high str characters to greater levels of weapon skill.

Don't give skill gains when using a targeted hit location.

Or let it, it goes both ways. That beef cake can aim for the head only and whiff a few strikes.

But so can everyone else.

The combat grind is already as stupid as it is tedious. Arguing that either of these qualities are good things is a habit I'll never understand.

It would also allow you to target only body when sparring up a weakling without risking you just take half their health with a neckshot so they can get those def gainz

I can't relate them. Grind is a different topic of time and effort. OP is suggesting a combat micromanagement option like *hack* or *riposte*
