[Runequest] Aimed and directional shots

[Lev Lafayette]

On the train home last night I scribbled down some notes concerning
aimed and directional shots in RuneQuest.

Both first and second edition had a "wait for up to four strike ranks,
reduce chance to hit by 5% per strike rank, modify by number of strike
ranks waited" along with "wait until SR 12, strike specific location at
half value". The latter option also appeared in third edition, albeit
with the SR reduced to 10. In the Mongoose edition a precise attack,
targeting a specific location, can be carried out with a -40% penalty.

My scribbled notes suggest the following:

Precise Attack: Use one action (waiting for an opening) or 4 SR
(RQI-III) and attack at -40% on a specific location.
Leg Attack: Location on 1d8, -20% to hit.
Lower Body Attack: Location on 1d10, -10% to hit
Body Attack: Location on 1d10+10, -10% to hit.
Upper Body Attack: Location on 1d8+12, -20% to hit.
Head Attack: Location on 1d12+8, -30% to hit.

Are there any obvious problems with this - apart from the fact I've
reintroduced the d12 ? ;)

All the best,
