[edit]
Loose limbs is a variant rule that makes critical rolls more deadly in addition to the regular critical damage. For this rule to come into effect, a player or creature must roll a natural 20 on their attack roll, and confirm a critical hit. Then the subject that is hit must make a fortitude save of 20 + the strength modifier of the attacker. This is to determine if a limb is cut off or broken. Then, the subject must make a will save DC 20. This save is for preventing the mental shock and pain penalties that follow. On a failed fortitude save from a slashing or piercing weapon, the subject takes 5 points of bleeding damage per round until stabilized. For loose limbs to be in effect the creature has to be within one size category of the attacker. (example: a medium sized creature can not cut off or break the limbs of a huge size creature)-->
