Hit Location and Called Shots
Original creators of this tool Local Damage (D20 Modern Variant Rule) Local Damage This Variant Rule is designed for those of you who wish to have some additional realism in the D20 Modern system. It is based around adding logical effects to the location a character has been shot and having realistic results. It is useful for people who still wish to rely on mechanics in combat but want something where characters are not capable of taking more extremely high numbers of shots from high powered weapons before being killed. Another benefit of the system is it adds reason for characters to protect themselves in certain ways and to target others on the field in a more intelligent manner.
