Default Less than lame, lower level crippled limbs.

Personally I like including the old soldier archetype in my games. Sometimes I want them to be capable fighters with many years of experience and the scars to prove it. However the long term damage disadvantages all seem a little too drastic.

Has anyone played with lower levels of permanent damage?

I have used the quirk "distinctive gait" to cover a limp.
I wrote up "bad temper, mitigated by pain killers (or alchohol)" for long term pain.
On the positive side there is the weather knee perk "knee is aching, a storm mus' be comin'"

Edit
Trick shoulder/knee after using extra effort there is a chance that it seizes up. Crippled limb with mitigator
