Extendable Random Hit Location Generator

Most of my random hit location needs are met by Hit Location Tables for All Occasions. I like to keep rules simple and memorable. Sometimes, however, I need greater detail from a hit location table, which is why I keep the Extendable Random Hit Location Generator in reserve. (This was previously posted as Random Hit Location Generator: d6 Version in Applied Phantasticality and in Fudgery.net.)



Extendable Random Hit Location Generator

This method allows for a level of detail that can be extended or retracted from game to game, battle to battle, or even from one individual attack to the next. Upon each roll of a single die, one has the option to stop or roll again for greater detail (up to a point). The presence of an asterisk (*) indicates that one may roll on the next appropriate table if one wishes. One starts by rolling 1D6.
