An attack that misses by 1 hits the torso instead. Human males and the males of similar species suffer double shock from crushing (cr) damage, and get -5 to knockdown rolls. Otherwise, treat as a torso hit.
Reduce the wounding multiplier of large piercing (pi+), huge piercing (pi++), and impaling (imp) damage to x1. Any major wound (loss of over ½ HP from one blow) cripples the limb. Damage beyond that threshold is lost. If holding a shield, double the penalty to hit: -4 for shield arm instead of -2.

If holding a shield, double the penalty to hit: -8 for shield hand instead of -4. Reduce the wounding multiplier of large piercing (pi+), huge piercing (pi++), and impaling (imp) damage to x1. Any major wound (loss of over ⅓ HP from one blow) cripples the extremity. Damage beyond that threshold is lost.
