Has any edition of D&D covered the specifics of Broken limbs?
I've long wanted to make a hardcore grappler whose purpose was more incapacitation than killing.
If I could get an opponent in a lock and snap their leg or arm that should take them out of the battle without actually killing them, but I haven't stumbled upon the specifics of broken limbs.
Where should I look?

Pathfinder has Called Shot rules.

I believe the 3.5 DMG has a section on "damage to specific areas" which could concievably include broken limbs, page 27.

BOVD has a second level cleric spell 4th level blackguard spell called boneblast. 1d3 con damage fort save for half, if 1 point of damage, round down to zero if the save is passed.
That looks like it would be the rough equivalent of a 2nd level homebrewed TOB maneuver, or even a homebrewed feat.

I think there are a few Stone Dragon strikes that do something pretty similar, as well.
