Graphic Gore
If an unmodified attack skill check roll is
TH 25 or higher, and the foe’s CA is exceeded by 3,
then Graphic Gore has occurred. Attack skill checks
include Aim, Brawling, Disarm, Hurl, or Weapon
(General) or Weapon (Specific). Graphic Gore consists
of explanations of the results and consequences
of attacks.
A difference between normal damage and
Graphic Gore is that, even if LP of damage are
equal between the 2 types of damage, there is not
much to see with normal damage. With normal
damage, the results are less visible for a variety of
reasons, such as occurring under armor, internally,
or not much blood being spilt immediately. With
Graphic Gore, the damage is not only visible, but
spectacular. Graphic Gore is the stuff of legends.
Not all types of attacks are capable of
Graphic Gore. Breath weapons from creatures, gas,
and most magical attacks will not cause Graphic
Gore, since they do not affect the body in the same
way as a physical blow. These attacks do not hack,
pound, or stab the body, but instead affect it more
generally. Some spells or spell-like effects may constitute
Graphic Gore. Determine the results of the
attack as usual, but consult the appropriate Graphic
Gore table.
Consider the body part that was struck successfully,
roll 3d10, and consult the appropriate
Graphic Gore table. SP for Dismemberment, Impaling,
or Mangling may be added to the roll.
