[LT] Question about the optional hit locations

The problem is with the 4e use of Groin. Some rules state that it is the entire lower part of the body (area 11). Others state that it is the small patch between the legs. There is no consistency. Low-Tech sought to clarify matters by renaming GROIN to ABDOMEN (area 11) and removing the actual groin from the random hit location table. Now if you want to randomly hit the groin and apply the special rules for damage in that location you'd have to roll twice just like if you want to hit the elbow or the shin - once for the abdomen and then again to see where in the abdomen. 1 would be the vitals. Perhaps 2-3 could be the groin.
