0008073: Weapon strikes that hit eyelids can't hit other body parts simultaneously (bites can)
It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like, the best I can do is tear a dwarf eyelid with an iron battle axe.
Strike a creature in the eyes on eyelids with a weapon.
No tags attached.

I'm actually unclear what this means. Do you mean that hits that pierce the eyelid don't hit any other body parts?

My bad. What you said is pretty much what I meant, it only seems to be an issue when I use a weapon though. It seems to work fine when I just bite someone's eyes.

I think he meant rather that weapon strikes are incapable of hitting both eyelids and eyes - as in, eyelids act like impenetrable shields for the eyes. I don't think the summary is accurate as it stands. I've seen this myself as well... but not as the new summary lists it.

I don't follow -- could you explain the inaccuracy and/or suggest a new summary?

I can try.

What he's saying is, if you aim for an eyelid or an eye with any held weapon or strike, the most you can manage is "tearing" the eyelid, while the eye beneath it remains undamaged - i.e. weapons cannot pierce eyelids. He also adds that biting doesn't have this issue.

The summary should probably be something along the lines of "Eyelids cannot be pierced with strikes" or "Eyelids act as perfect shields for eyes against weapons/strikes".
