Re: Presenting a hit location to an enemy?
There are some in GURPS: MArtial Arts - Gladiators.
You can present a side targeted attacks at that side is 2 easier (ie, not penalty for arms and legs, only -2 for hands and feet). And the n2 harder for the far side. It doens't include rules for random location, but if using this rule, I would say that instead of keeping "right arm" and "left arm" as two sepperete locations on the Random hit locations-table you simply note an "arm hit", and then roll 1d6. Only on a 6 do you hit the far side. The Neck doesn't really become more difficult to hit as it stays pretty much in place. ---- Someone once suggested, that for shield users, instead of using the shield to block (or to get the DB bonus), you could use it as cover to cover specific body parts. I don't remember the details though. |

If you wanted to use shields as cover, I'd suggest just using the regular cover rules and giving shields the 'thin slab' DR levels. But then you have to guess where the shield is. There could be a better way to figure out which areas are covered, if someone wants to come up with some house rules for that. I think you'd need to come up with something for each particular shield, and of course it would vary by person (since a 7' tall person will get different protection from the same shield than a 5'2" person). As for presenting a certain location, I think there could be better rules for that as well. I would want to incorporate weapon reach. Maybe say that the side that's not presented counts as being +1 hex farther away, so it can't still be punctured by shortswords without moving in closer.

Re: Presenting a hit location to an enemy?
Kromm posted a table that said "what target happens to be exposed at this particular time" once. It was a neat little addition.

Re: Presenting a hit location to an enemy?
That would be this table in this thread.
