Optional Rule: Maximum
Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition
If a critical hit or fumble does not give a duration in its
life loss
description, it lasts until the target is returned to maximum Cutting off a hand or foot is unlikely to kill an opponent
hp. outright, and for realism your combat may benefit from
limiting the maximum HP loss from a crit to the hand, elbow,
Pathfinder foot, or knee to 50% of the target's maximum hit points.
If a critical hit or fumble does not give a duration in its
description, it lasts until the effects are removed via sleep or
magic per normal rules.
Pathfinder 2nd Edition
If a critical hit or fumble does not give a duration in its
description, it lasts until the effects are removed via sleep or
magic per normal rules.
Truncation
As an additional alternate rule, you may declare limbs cut off
or useless if they suffer too much damage. Generally this is
done if the limb suffers 25% of the maximum life of the target
in the case of hands or feet, or 50% in other cases.
Bleeding damage may be assigned in the case of most limb
loss.
