[House Rule][Martial Arts] Separated Vitals.

Okay, I'm not a doctor, and I haven't really thought this through, but discussion of hit locations in this thread made me start thinking about how to reduce the abstraction in hit locations a little. Particularly the vitals.

The Vitals represents many different organs in many different parts of the body. Canonically the heart is considered "The Vitals" as are the Solar Plexus and Kidney (given as examples that can be targeted with crushing attacks.)

So what would happen if we actually treated every vital organ as a separate hit location with it's own rules?
