You're forgetting the primary benefit, that you feel no pain. It's pretty cool to be immune to unconsciousness. I made a character for a player once who had a pain editor on all of the time. You just compensate during chargen by shifting a point from Willpower to Intelligence and remember to play the character like a junkie. |

Not being able to feel anything, ever, is pretty dumb. Pain is important; it keeps you safe. So you can't be knocked unconscious? Fat lot of good that's going to do you when you look down only to discover that you now have a first-degree burn on half your body and have no idea when or where it happened.

Not to mention the possible long-term effects of that kind of sensory deprivation. :eek:
To be fair, he talked about roleplaying the character "like a junkie", so maybe it wasn't meant to be a "smart" choice. |

There was a girl I read about somewhere who couldn't feel pain. She pretty much destroyed her eyes scratching them, and has had various other problems (I think she broke a leg playing once and kept on playing with it for about an hour).

Yeah, he was actually a real junkie on top of that. He had uhh, problems. But he was a pretty cool character. It's fun to see someone spend all of his profits on meth binges instead of repairing gear and buying food. |

The character was a junkie, the player is a mere pothead :P
We often smoke as the game concludes, so he'd say stuff like "Fuck the rent payment, my character spends all of his money on a week-long meth binge. Hey, let's go smoke a joint!" |

One more thing to remember: with a pain editor on all the time the player doesn't know how many boxes of damage he has taken...

I guess it depends on the which side of the GM screen you're on. :D

With a biomonitor and display link, you can still know what your body is doing, even with the pain editor or damage compensators going...

As anyone who plays first-person shooters will tell you, sometimes you don't check your health often enough.

Depending on which FPS you are playing, your health aint gonna matter.

Well, yes, if you're using godmode. What other FPSs out there have non-mattering health?

Ghost Recon/Sum of All Fears. One shot = usually one kill.
