These would be in place for the earliest adventures (it could be a personal goal of the player to raise money to purchase a casting or two of regeneration...or he may grow fond of them). Of course they would cause numberous impedements and advantages...functioning as permenant katars (or claw bracers....either way...the character would automatically gain proficiency assuming they'd be in place for awhile). Diligent tasks would take sever penalties however, (open lock, disable device etc.....although he may learn to work with the handicap...) and of course....reactions may be changed (for better or for worse) with NPCs... (tip: go for the hair too!)

I like that concept - in particular the notion of this guy who's liable to have superhuman strength, the usual construct immunities... and absolutely no idea how to interact with people socially. There ARE some low-Charisma folks who aren't crude loudmouths, 'cha know?
