Research:Unaimed body location assignment
Assumptions
- Some of the results may be skewed as a result of defaulting to a body location when the targeted are is "critted out," a la rank 3 eye wound results in further attacks to that eye default to the chest instead of continuing to target the eye.
- The CHANNEL, SING, and CAST verbs have the same mechanics.
- The ATTACK verb has the same mechanics for attacking a creature of equal height.
- Standard Flares from weapons have the same mechanic.
