    Eric just needed a better backstory for his wheelchair-bound character. And really in most high fantasy settings the only way it makes sense to have a permanent disability like that would be from a curse.

      Your words are poorly chosen. This is a very low effort response.

      First of all its just inaccurate. Many heros in many fantasy settings have some kind of limitation/disability

      Not usually MC but sometimes even MC

            So you couldn’t list any off the top of your head and had to rely on a list made by someone else. You’re really just proving my point here

              1. I wasn’t the person you asked to name 3.
              2. Heaven forbid I contribute to the conversation by providing a relevant list to a discussion.

          You go do the work, and enjoy some books while you do it.

          Go read a few ravenloft, forgotten realms, dragonlance, or other dnd series

          Go read some raymond e feist riftwar/magician books.

          Go read a dozen palladium Rifts worldbooks

          Just read any large fantasy franchise and you find any number of disabled characters

          Damn near every healing spell in a fantasy ttrp will have a ruling on not being able to heal natural conditions such as blindness or simply that it straight up wont restore lost limbs

          Im sure catti bri and drizzt ran into a few pirates and sailors with missing limbs

          Or are you going to tell me theres no peg legs in fantasy?

          No old heroes who cant fight anymore because they lost a limb

          Ita inaccurate because most fantasy worlds that ive read dont have mid to high level healers in every square km of their worlds

            You go do the work, and enjoy some books while you do it.

            You clearly don’t understand how things work.

            You made the claim. Therefore you have to provide sources to back up your claim
