But...depending on the GM's interpretation, not being able to switch off Regeneration could be a serious problem.

I have a super-level PC who Jumps from campaign to campaign, GM to GM, not all of whom treat abilities the same. The PC has very fast Regeneration with Switchable. I paid for the enhancement due to a question that came up.

Imagine a character has very fast Regeneration, healing at 1 HP/second. If that characters gets, for example, a broken leg, they would almost certainly be fully healed before the leg could be set in place. In real life, people who heal without having broken limbs properly set can be crippled. So could the regenerating character be permanently crippled because of Regeneration?

What do you think?

any GM who sprang such a houserule on a player who paid 100 points for an advantage would, in my view, be demonstrating very bad form.

For me, the problem is more the bait-and-switch. It's ok if everyone agrees up-front to use that level of "grimdark"; but the GM does not get to suddenly spring on you, that your power, that you paid points for, also counts as a disadvantage.

I agree with these, with the caveat that, if the injury is not healing correctly because of an in-game reason, like a special attack or other muckery (I like that, I think that'll be the code word for that). If it's part of the story/game why, yes.

GM-Muckery, when done to challenge the characters, can be fun and exciting. When done because they're just poor GMs . . . that's a different story.

I'm an acolyte of John Wick, so, I like a little GM-Muckery. I expect, and invite, it. Have fun, challenge my character.
