Torso Critical Hits
Critical hits to the torso (and abdomen) are complicated by the presence of significant
internal vital organs. Cutter and Piercer weapons have the capability to directly
penetrate the body and damage these organs. Basher weapons may drive skeletal components
into them. The loss or damage of these organs can make diagnosing and curing critical
torso damage very difficult.
