Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

    I can easily accept a blind npc or pc, and also a wheelchair npc, but a wheelchair pc is a bit convoluted in a fantasy setting. Like this was literally a subplot in doctor strange. There is just too much power in player parties to not knock this out in the first few adventures.

    Whether through healing or artifacts or levitation. Just makes no sense unless you want the tactical “guy in a chair” trope, or want to have navigation be a major part of each story.

      “Roll for dexterity” when you enter a city that’s not wheelchair accessible at every single stairway 💀

        oh cool. Failed roll, roll for constitutional save. Roll for damage.

        Nat1, just roll for damage, or if you are a fun DM, have another roll for dex for the objects at the bottom of the stairs.

      Yeah, I’d have to be some sort of punishment / penance.

      Here’s a backstory/plot I’d enjoy:

      The character feels responsible for an accident that killed a loved one as well as maimed themself. Unable to forgive themself, they refuse to use the available healing magics/methods to regain what they once once had.
