But drop (or rename) the ruder ones like eyes and groin, and leave out grislier combat effects like dismemberment.
- Whatever happens rules-wise, avoid gory description of it.

I mean, we live in a world with PG-13 horror and action movies... Just avoid the blood-splattering descriptions and the more questionable adventure locations.
