Avoiding Specific Hit Location

[Steve]

I understand how things work regarding targeting a specific hit location, but is there anything in the rules about how to avoid hitting a specific hit location?

 

Example: Two boxers are sparring, so the hit locations of their successful attacks are rolled using High Shots of 2d6+1, which still gives a very small chance for one of them to accidentally hit below the belt and strike location 13. Is there anything provided in the rules about avoiding a specific hit location? Would a hit location roll of just 2d6 be legal or maybe done with a small minus to OCV?

There are no rules for avoiding a Hit Location. I think this is just something to work out with the GM, particularly when what you're trying to avoid (as in your boxing example) are "high value" Locations. Personally I'd have no concern about letting you roll a High Shot as just 2d6 in that circumstance -- but other GMs may feel differently, or want to impose an OCV penalty, or what have you.
