There was one day My buddy was DMing 5e while we were all still teenagers (14-16, he was the youngest), and this nigga wanted to implement a homebrew system he found for called shots. So you could say "I stab him in the leg" and you'd automatically roll with disadvantage, but you otherwise make the attack as normal and get a potential bonus effect and damage for hitting, which varied by limb. It's also important to know My character had a custom weapon that was a longbow which could break apart into 2 shortswords.
At one point our rogue stabbed an enemy in the leg with his dagger. 32 damage after accounting for everything, including sneak attack. I decide to try it out, and say I want to stab an enemy in the face with one of My swords. I don't remember the specifics of the exchange, but this nigga tells Me that after everything - the most damage I could deal to him by stabbing him in the face was 8. I pointed out how Rogue stabbed a guy in the LEG and got 32, and here he is now telling Me that a SWORD TO THE FACE will deal 8 AT MOST, and I ask if that makes sense to him. I will never forget the way this nigga looked Me dead in the eyes and simply said "Yes."
We all argued for a bit after that and he ultimately decided to scrap the system entirely. He also said I couldn't strap vials of oil to My arrows because My intelligence at 16 was "too low" to come up with an idea like that.
Anyway this nigga was only 14 at the time and he is literally autistic, so we should've expected some retardery. We still bust his balls about it sometimes. I love that guy.
