[MECHANIC] Severed Limbs & Bleed-out

I noticed that severed limbs in combat do not seem to be as severe as they probably should be. I was thinking that maybe there could be a fortitude save each round and if you fail, you bleed. It would represent the increased flow of blood due to fighting. I could also see having severed arm(s) penalizing STR, while severed leg(s) would affect DEX. Maybe a severed leg could also force a reflex save, if you fail, you fall down and open up an attack of opportunity.

Though, outside of combat, the blood loss could be a fortitude save when the MUD ticks instead of per round.

I had a thought of eyes being able to be damaged/severed which would penalize hitroll at the loss of one and result in blindness when both are lost. But the blindness might make you unable to aid yourself, not sure.
