This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But why would anyone do any of this when there are objectively better options for representing the disability and having a fun whimsical option. Magic carpet or magic chair and now you can fly where bring a different set of skills. As a Druid, Growths of trees and roots could form spider like appendages. A warlock can use his patrons power to create a new set of magical legs or always be floating. Warforged legs could be used in place of your own. An artificers leg armor would be able to keep cripples person walking. Many many options and you choose the blue shirt basic human fighter battlemaster.

All of which has nothing to do with how wheelchairs work in the real world, which is the part I was responding to.

Exactly! You’re in the magic setting where most people can do magic or have access to magical things. Wheelchairs become even more useless than they were in ancient times, especially for an adventurer who presumably will be on unpaved and akward roads.

You’re trying to fit something that has no place being in the setting. Just pick the infinitely cooler options that do fit or don’t have your character have this particular disability.
