[Basic] Arrow in the Eye

You don't pile up separate injury by hit location, except in special cases which are quite distinctively marked (extreme dismemberment comes to mind).

Getting hit in the eye is the same as getting hit in the Skull except
-Skull DR doesn't apply, but any eye-protecting DR does.
-You probably lose the eye, in accordance with BS399 and BS421.
That said, it isn't defined as getting hit in the brain. It hurts the same way and for the same reason, but it's still an eye hit.

The "Exception: No such limit applies to the eyes!" is necessary because that section has defined eyes as a body part subject to crippling. And stated a damage cap as a general rule for such body parts. Without the exception, being shot in the eye could not cause more than 2 injury, which would be pretty silly.
