If he fails his regeneration roll during the recovery phase, he takes D3+1 damage to his Injury Total rather than regenerating it? How does that sound? Simple to manage, remember and work out, and also represents the off-chance of his organs having a change of heart (har har) about working for a new mistress...

I'd not considered a possibility of the regeneration going wrong. How about if he fails a toughness test in the recovery phase he's stunned for the next turn?

Oh, and I'm working on the source of the mutation still, I'm going to explore it in the IC thread...

I'm going to jump in again and say that he doesn't need a disadvantage.
He's selected for being the one in a billion mutant that has these fantastic abilities that make him the perfect agent - so leave him that way.

Well I only mentioned it on a whim as it mentions in the original bio that the organs occasionaly reject the host body, so I made up something that was simple, not all that disadvantageous and adds an extra bit of character to an otherwise standard power - regeneration is something that comes up lots amongst tough characters, but a nifty regeneration that has the potential to go slightly wrong is much more fun!

I'm quite happy to not put a negative modifier on him, and just leave it up to the GM to stop him being too powergamey, and let him/her decide when things go wrong and what happens when it does!

Its more the organs reject the various implanted bits of technology interfering with his anatomy working the way its supposed to, although I'm still working on it.

I'm going to condense all the excellent ideas people have thrown around in here once I've got miniatures sorted out, starting with Martell (assuming the base mini ever actually gets to me, has anyone got any experience ordering directly from reaper?)

I agree with the priciple, but not the maths. I'd suggest that only one in many orders of magnitude more than a billion would have such healing abilities at all, and to lack any other mutations, I think the number that he would be the one in would be huge. Huge relative to the human population of the galaxy.
