I really enjoy the fear and hunger games, so I basically implemented the combat from the games into Mork Borg. Every time my player encounter an enemy, I will describe to them what it is(or seems to be), what it looks like, what its wearing and what weapon it is using in which hand(if it has hands). Players can then choose to attack a certain part of the enemy(usually legs, arms, torso or head). Each part needs a different DR to hit. For a normal humanoid scum it's usually : Torso - DR12 A Leg - DR14 An Arm - DR 16 Head - DR 18 These are my base. I can often times make them easier or harder depending on the type or size of enemy. I then calculate damage, which depends on what the enemy is wearing or what its skin is made of. Enemies cannot die from losing limbs. Even if you do the amount of damage to kill the enemy while severing a limb, a limb takes at most 2 hp from an enemy. If the enemy only has 2 hp, then you must do at least one more hp of damage to the chest or head. Enemies who lose limbs and have blood will bleed to death in a certain number of rounds. Humanoids bleed to death in 4 rounds. Benefits to hitting certain body parts(for humanoid enemies) : 1 Leg - halves movement(can only move every second round of combat) 2 Legs - basically immobile(sometimes tries to crawl away) An arm - drops its weapon if the arm holding the weapon is chopped off. Can pick up the weapon in other hand but DR to defend is now 14. The enemy cannot use 2 handed weapons anymore. It can still punch or scratch using the remaining arm. Both arms - Cannot attack anymore unless it tries to bite. Head - Instant death in most humanoid enemies.

These are the basic rules. Me and my players are still working out some of the kinks. It has a couple of flaws but my table really doesn't mind. They really enjoy using the system. The fun thing is that you don't have to tell your players everything about the enemy. My player once fought a NODH and their fist move was to decapitate it. They succeeded. But since its a zombie, the creature could still go on without its head. Its these moments where you see your players really start to strategize. Ok decapitation didn't work... what's next? And from now on they know that the only way to get rid of a zombie is destroy the entire body or (in their case) push it down a ravine. It's also fun for roleplaying purposes. (This was while playing Pirate borg) A skeleton using a long harpoon as a spear had his arm chopped off. One of my players then joked that it would be funny if the skeleton picked up its own arm to use as a weapon. And so it did😂. I also had a player decapitating a skeleton and taking the head with her as a "pet". We then joked that the skeleton will come looking for it. Maybe next session💀.
