In my WIP, one of my characters finds himself on the wrong end of a sword and loses half his bottom jaw as a result. I'm just wondering how much I can lop off without losing functions such as speech, eating, drinking, etc? I was planning on taking off a whole side and leave him a dribbling, slurring wreck, I just don't know if a single hinge to the skull would support the weight, or if the missing muscles would make a difference.
Further down the track said character makes a nice metal replacement for the missing half, but I have a major scene with his half-jawed model and kinda need him talkative.
Keen to know if anyone sees any glaring holes in such a scenario.
