My point was crippling his leg, and maybe causing a him to fail a knockdown roll is often preferable to doing less than 1/2 HP damage to the torso (since torso armor is usually better). It is certainly preferable to missing the leg. This makes random attacks with cutting weapons often a good tactical choice.
