Re: Is Regeneration a Disadvantage?
This. I would go play d&d before I would tolerate this. I quit a GURPS group after the rest of the group found spending two hours debating the thickness of rope needed to lift some stuff worthwhile. Sometime Ppl forget that games should be fun.

There is no reason to even think that having regeneration shouldn't mend broken bones and reset them automatically. Otherwise pricing becomes weird. I would call "Heals without regard to set bones" a Nuisance effect worth at *least* -20%.

Re: Is Regeneration a Disadvantage?
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.

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. |

Re: Is Regeneration a Disadvantage?
I don't think it's wrong (depending on genre played in) to have injuries that don't heal properly. However, having regeneration should not be worse than not having it.

Re: Is Regeneration a Disadvantage?
The way I see it, Regeneration doesn't affect broken bones at all - they are a 'lasting' crippling effect, and Regeneration doesn't affect those (unless there's Regrowth in there as well). That means that Regeneration wouldn't cause breaks to heal too fast to be set, and if Regrowth is involved, well that brings dismemberments, etc., back to full function so it wouldn't result in a badly healed break either.
If I was presented with this ruling mid-game I'd be pretty annoyed. It doesn't match what you'd expect from the advantage, and it doesn't match the RAW either, and the faster levels of Regeneration are a reasonably expensive purchase and so one shouldn't have to pay extra just to have them not mess you up.

Re: Is Regeneration a Disadvantage?
Regeneration includes Rapid Healing though, which gives a +5 to HT for determining crippling duration. Assuming that a hero with Regeneration (Very Fast) has a minimum of HT 12 and Luck (it they do not, they should reevaluate their character design), they would be very unlikely to have a lasting crippling injury (much less a permanent one).
