Good active defenses serve the same purpose.

Except it doesn't end up working that way if there is a Scout in the party. Eye shots are literally their bread-and-butter.

Likewise a Knight that decides to suck up a blow or two and do an All-Out-Attack (Determined) and just go for the eyes. One good stab from Bash Crashky and this beast is done (or maybe two from Sir Ivor, maybe).
