Regeneration

Your wounds heal very quickly.

Increased natural healing rate
Severed limbs regrow over time

Regeneration is a physical mutation which improves the player’s natural regeneration rate and allows the player to regrow lost limbs, given enough time.

Note that only one limb can be regrown at a time. Additionally, if an entire arm is lost, then the arm and hand will be regrown separately.

Reason: Does the improvement to natural HP regeneration add to the player’s base Regen rate, or does it replace the base Regen rate?

Regenerating Limbs

...
public int nNextLimb = 5000;
...
 if (E.ID == "Regenerating")
      {
        ++this.nRegrowCount;
        if (this.nRegrowCount >= this.nNextLimb)
        {
          this.nRegrowCount = 0;
          this.nNextLimb = 5000 - 400 * this.Level + Stat.Roll("1d" + ((11 - Math.Min(this.Level, 10)) * 1000).ToString());
          this.ParentObject.FireEvent(Event.New("RegenerateLimb", 0, 0, 0));
        }
        E.AddParameter("Amount", E.GetIntParameter("Amount") + (20 + this.Level * 4));
        return true;
      }

For the non-code-literate, the amount of time before a limb is regrown is determined by the following formula:

5000 - (400 * Level) + 1d((11 - Level) * 1000)

Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Gives the player easy access to limb regeneration, which normally requires specific resources, such as ubernostrum injectors, regeneration tanks, or hyperbiotic beds. Additionally, there is no limit on how many limbs a player can regenerate through the Regeneration mutation, while a player could, for example, run out of ubernostrum injectors.
• Increases the player’s passive HP regeneration.
• Slightly decreases the amount of water a player requires, as they will have to rest for a shorter amount of time when healing after a fight.

Disadvantages

• Very high Mutation Point cost at character generation.
• The bonus to passive HP regeneration is too low to make a significant difference in most fights.
• Limbs are dismembered very infrequently in Caves of Qud, and the “normal” methods of regenerating limbs are common enough to regrow any lost limbs.
