Ability to cut off legs and ability to construct wooden legs

[shubla]

It would be cool. You could get your legs cut off in a battle. Then you could construct wooden ones to regain your ability to move. Penalty would be that you could not sprint anymore.

Could be prevented by wearing some armor on your legs (metal, leather, bones)

To build off that, I was always under the impression assigning all four colors to different parts of the body (legs, arms, torso, head) would be a cool idea; wherein taking enough damage can temporarily and/or permanently disable that part of the body.
ie taking enough damage to your legs/arms can temporarily impede your movement speed/ability to carry out certain actions and even higher single hits could remove the limb completely, where losing both legs would make you unable to walk and losing both arms would make you basically unable to do much of anything. While head/torso damage would be required to KO/kill you and put you out of your limbless misery.

In his "Loose Roadmap" update Jorb stated he wanted to move away from the four-color combat system but I'm curious of what he thinks of something like this (having real lasting consequences beyond a debuff to one or two statistics resulting from lost limbs).

On the same vein... lose any limb, appendage, or digit... except the head. Would be weird if a hearthling lost the head and was still wandering the hearthlands.

Jokes on
well, its almost half heartlings live with that problem irl.
Jokes off
It would be good if there will be some sort of permanent conclusion instead of cutting.

Not without some significant reworkings of the character model we don't.
