The body location chart used in ND1 has eight possible hit locations.

Melee Attacks: to choose a hit location while planning a Attack with a melee weapon, consult the chart below, take the corresponding hit location card from the deck and place it face down under the chosen attack type card. See Combat Card Layout.

Missile Attacks: unless an Actor using a missile weapon has a Skill allowing them to choose a body location, the hit location is chosen randomly. This is because unless the Actor is particularly skilled with a missile weapon, it is very difficult to actually hit a specific body location from range. Instead, randomly draw a hit location card from the deck when the attack is resolved during the Combat Action Sequence.
