This makes sure that your transhumanist only takes desirable damage, as well as speeding up the process by hampering his ability to dodge which also happens to be a great dodging exercise. This can be done in a controlled environment using hostile prisoners by giving them sharp weapons and giving the aspiring amputee armor that protects every body part except the limbs you want gone, such as an assorted heavy armor set that includes the Holy Chestplate for losing arms or by just not wearing pants in order to lose legs. This ofcourse lacks precision and is time-consuming and luck-dependent when done in the wild. The most accessable way to lose limbs is to have them chopped off in combat, specifically by high cut damage weapons wielded by adept users.
