Some of you may recall how weird the rules are in the DoE book in order to sever a target's limb. They are cumbersome at best.
After lengthy discussion whereupon John Horrell came up with a very good solution.
Critical Strike to Sever-
An attacker may declare a critical strike to sever a target's limb, be it through a clean slice or trauma (ergo, weapon type does not matter). A successful Critical Strike to Sever inflicts normal (not doubled) damage. If the damage from that strike exceeds the target's CON, the target must succeed a CON check or the limb is removed. Normal no form of healing can restore the limb, only the Preternatural Ability: Regeneration OR other forms of greater magic may be used to restore a lost limb. The special effects of a Critical Strike to Sever remain the same as described in the DoE reference book.
