Im not entirely sure I understand what you mean?

Syndromes be cheaty yo.  I want the head of the hydra to come back, not its claw and shine.  Shouldnt lose the scarring and other damage to gain the head.

The only drawback to having revelation regeneration (damned smartphone autocorrect) parameters is that tags with parameters can't be added or removed with syndromes.  Given that, some kind of on/off tag is probably best and having the speed based on healing rate.  Could even have [REGENERATES] and [REGENERATES_SUPER] to use two different time scales.

Hmm point taken. I suppose that would require a more intricate system of managing file interactions. But such syndromes would be fun would they not?

One other bit that I didn't mention was that interaction immunity can hinge on on/off tags (at least those that Toady specifically puts in the IT_REQUIRES and IT_FORBIDDEN lists).

So maybe something like [REGENERATES] for regeneration at 1/10th the normal healing rate and [REGENERATES_SUPER] for regeneration at the creature's normal healing rate.  Pulped parts can be treated pretty much as if they're missing and therefore need to grow back completely.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Waaant.

Toady, this shit be the dopeness, yo

[Robosaur]

I kinda figured REGENERATES_SUPER would be in a matter of seconds.

It could go either way: one normal and one slowed down, or one normal and the other sped up.  But having something regenerate in a matter of seconds is kinda game-breaking.  I know I don't want to have the bastard son of Wolverine and Sylar making a mockery of the combat system.

[Robosaur]

I do.

[Dirst]

I do.

So just give the tissues a HEALING_RATE of 1.

[Robosaur]

That'd work, assuming we got the REGENERATES tag in.
I do hope though that people would eventually realize that chopping off a rapidly regenerating Hydra's head is pointless before long, and start attacking the legs or heart instead, though.

If regrowing limbs was a valid token, then regrowing nerves would have to be one too.

Nerves can't be chopped off, they just don't heal. You can add a tag to them to make them heal.
