Reality Test Fail

GURPS and healing do not match reality.

This is by design.

Combat is kinda deadly and recovering from some injuries are "make a new character" deal because you will be laid up for a good long time even with modern, TL8, medicine.

One area that it's most apparent is being gut shot.

By the rules, if you make your health rolls, you will heal up all better.

In reality, you're prolly going to die a slow, lingering, painful death from your gut bacteria having a party outside your guts, but still in your nice, toasty, inviting abdominal cavity.

It's one thing I have deliberately left alone.

Realistic death is not fun and gaming is supposed to be fun.
