Default Re: Hit location miss by 1

Definitely not contradicting the above- all about balance. BUT if you wanted to mess with it on your own for S&G's you probably could. I'd argue the direction/momentum of the attack is a factor. If my sword swing is arced down on your ear (like I'm literally chopping it off) and I miss by 1, who is to say that -1 is towards the "inside" of my target area (to the right if left ear & vice versa) as opposed to the outside? Missing an ear with a chopping swing could VERY realistically be a hit to the torso (technically collarbone/shoulder I guess).

It probably wouldn't be the most objectionable thing in the world to declare by fiat that when an attack misses its hit location by 1 the attack actually goes to a nearby place that depends on the actual physical positions of the two people involved.
