Critical hits?

[gollummen]

"attackers can make a "called shot" against a small target, such as a specific part of a target´s body or shooting a weapon out of a targets hand."
2.ed R&E page 91

There are some difficulties for hitting targets of didfferent sizes, but nothing on damage.

[Argamoth]

Though getting shot in the face would probably be much more detrimental than getting hit in the leg.

[Error]

Are there "to hit" penalties for called shots?

Probabily my favorite use of that base book called shot rule, is to bypass armor.

You could also just Eliminate the damage roll.

We now return you to rules about called shots.

I took that rule from the book and in order to eliminate dealing with thinking about things in terms of centimeters, modified the rule to say: When making a called shot on a small part of a large object to increase the damage, for every +1 (modifier, not pips) you wish to add to damage, add +2 (modifier, not pips) to the difficulty. You can change the balance of those scales to adjust the lethality (IE for ever +1 to damage, +5 to difficulty), and also apply caps to how much damage can be increased in this way. You might even make a list of regularly called shots and set them at a special fixed difficulty, like: To target the thermal exhaust port on a Death Star Mk 1 is a +30 to difficulty in exchange for a negation of death star scale to starfighter scale and a damage increase of +5.

In my campaign we use these rules:
- 1D ekstra dam. for hitting the head.
- + 5 (or more, master decision) to Difficulty number to hit a specific part.
- Ekstra damage if you beat your difficulty number by:
Easy 6-10 +1 dam.
Moderate 11-15 +2 dam.
Difficult 16-20 +1D dam.
Very difficult 21-30 +1D+1 dam.
Heroic 31+ +1D+2 dam.
