Regeneration and Crippling Injuries
 

What is the interaction between regeneration and crippling injuries? Is there any?

It specifically specifies it doesn't work on missing limbs (take regrowth for that), and specifically heals generic damage, but can't find what happens with crippling

When non-permanently crippled limbs get back to full HP, they aren't crippled anymore. So, needless to say, this speeds up recovery time a ton!

Actually, semi-permanant injuries (broken bones and the like) can last for months and regeneration doesn't help. You'll regain HP but the limb will still be broken.

I'm not sure about that. While I definatly believe that regrowth is overpriced and agree with the suggestion by Kromm to reduce it's cost to 5 points; healing quickly != healing well.

The jellyfish probably regenerates somewhere between regular->fast (at least, I can only assume that when you accidentally rake your hand through one of the buggers while swimming, spewing it's guts everywhere and cursing its existence while your arm burns with stingers only to watch it seem to seal up and float away before your arm finishes burning that it regenerated, rather then having some strange variation of injury tolerance); but if I recall correctly every injury it suffers follows it around for some time before it can fix it up (in the form of scar tissue, deformed or useless limb stubs, etc), and I believe it actually takes it longer to work its way through a mass of scar tissue then it does to just regrow a new chunk/tendril.

I feel a regenerator who lacks regrowth should be treated similarly; They rapidly heal to a stable condition, but they did not necessarily heal to that condition correctly and it won't necessarily be any faster for them to break down scar tissue and relearn how to use there new muscles/nerves correctly.

Permently Crippled Limbs is the terf of the much negligent Regrowth.

Don't forget that Regeneration includes the +5 to HT to roll for recovering from crippling injuries that is in Rapid Healing.

Re: Regeneration and Crippling Injuries
 

Nobody said it did. Someone with regeneration has the same quality of healing as someone with Rapid Healing, assuming equal HT.
Why not?

With the sytem I suggested, slow regeneration would give (Assuming 10 HP):
Healing a Temporary crippling injury: 2 days.
Healing a Lasting crippling injury: 10 days X 1d

So it would still take longer to deal with all the issues of Lasting crippling, just not as long as a normal person. This is how it works in most fiction.
