Let's also consider that... you know... we have incredibly limited control over our stats due to RNG. Yes, we can affect growths, but I've gotten 20 Cel on a 5% and I've gotten 25 skill on an 80% (by level 60 on both, yes.) So mechanically, this cannot be enforced, and it'd be ridiculously stupid to, as an example, remove someone's arm but for them to still have a two-handed weapon (like a bow,) or to remove a leg due to their reputation for evading capture (but still able to use a wooden prosthetic to hobble around, but naturally not as nimble and well-balanced as before) while still having 60+ Cel.
Not to mention, the intensive editing of existing pictures or finding a new picture that reflects the change. Because you can't trust everyone to read your text.
And lastly, on the topic of not being able to trust everyone... I know some people would godmod it. Sure, some people may just try to shrug it off as not a big deal due to bravado while still being visibly impacted ("My arm would have just gotten in the way, anyways!" - A character from Telltale's "The Walking Dead," name witheld for spoilers) there's also those who would either flat out ignore that it ever happened when no one who knows is around, or turn it into some "I'm so badass that it legit doesn't affect anything, I'm still as great as ever" edgelord crap. While I at least trust a decent chunk of the community to own up to it, not everyone would. (Ironically, the people I trust to own it are also typically powergamey, bringing us back to my first point.)
So just keep it to sentences. That's punishment enough, and affects most people much more equally, IMO.
