is red to remind you that this is a targeted shot.
Left-click on the target.
A window will appear showing a wireframe of the
target and all the specific locations you can
target.
You can attack one of
eight different locations.
Each location, like an arm
or leg, is easier or
harder to hit. Your
adjusted to hit chance is
shown next to the location
name. A to hit chance of
“--” means your character
has no chance of success, the attack is just too
difficult for a character of that skill. Click on
a location name to attempt the attack. Press the
CANCEL button if you decide the targeted attack is
not worth it. A normal attack always goes for the
torso.
Targeted attacks have a higher chance of scoring
a critical hit. The more difficult the location
was to hit, the higher the chance of actually doing
a critical hit. The type of critical hit that is
achieved is also based on the location of the
targeted hit. Hitting a person in the head can do
more damage than hitting them in the left leg.
Damage
Damage is the result of a succesful attack in
combat. The more damage you do, the more likely
your opponent will be killed, knocked out, knocked
down or just plain put out of the fight.
Damage can also occur from traps or other non-
combat sources.
Hit Points - Damage removes HP. The amount of
damage is always shown as an amount of HP damage.
A critter’s current HP is equal to their maximum HP
minus all the damage they have taken.
