Good idea; beats the silly impaling rules ; )

Lies its lithalithy in getting stuck between ribs, etc? Remember that the impalingrules illustrates that a weapon gets stuck in a body. I thought the rapier is a weapon that has a very little chanse of getting stuck due to its slim and neat config. It would break if starting to wiggle around when stuck The stuff you illustrates is covered by the doubble damage you do when spec'ing and crit'ing.
