Pen and Paper Roleplaying Games (RPGs) Discussion / Re: Fantasy Wheelchairs are a Controvesy Again. (Video Discussion)
« Last post by blackstone on Today at 09:34:42 AM »In a fantasy setting, a wheelchair bound PC would be an anomaly because of the various type of magical healing that is available. Even if the affliction is curse related, a Remove Curse spell would do the trick.I would argue your exception would not even apply. It would be cheaper and more dignified to travel via sedan with bearers. If a sedan is above your station, then just a couple of bearers with a hammock or seat between them. Probably much cheaper than a wheelchair and better movement over rough ground.
The ONLY exception to this would be a VERY special and exceptional case in which the wheelchair bound PC is specifically on a journey to cure him of the affliction. Something that is tied into the overall story of the campaign.
But that's just my two coppers.
People forget that machines of convenience were rare until very recently. Human labor used to be much cheaper and more practical.
Sure. Fine. be it a wheelchair or bearers, We're splitting hairs here. The point I raise still is valid.
