They should really fix that in GURPS Horror!

I can easily believe Doctor Strange is Resistant to Fear, but he's not literally Unfazeable nor does he appear to be in any strict sense immune to fear.

Unless you're cribbing from UltraTech, prosthetics are still a disad. <shrug> Regeneration isn't going to happen outside of High Fantasy or UltraTech--and in conditions not really suitable to Horror.

I don't understand why the functional equivalent of crippling injury rules for your brain is so unreasonable. Especially as an optional rule.

It would have to be a pretty wimpy monster if there was no negative modifier.

The book suggests a range of -1 to -10; nearly a third of monsters are included before you consider positive modifiers. So, no, it would not have to be.

I just realised something fundamental to running a horror campaign I have no idea how significant the penalty to a freight check is.

Some guidelines would be nice, just some common examples would help.

Campaigns, page 360. "Fright Check Modifiers"

Your response indicates that you have not stated all of your assumptions.

I have no idea what you mean by this. I was just going by the guidelines given on p.360 for Fright Checks and have made no assumptions beyond that.
