That's rather dependent on the prevalence of spellcasting clerics, isn't it?When Lesser Restoration is only a second-level spell, there is no excuse for any blindness in a D&D world. It is so trivially solved.
Is it? Why would third-level clerics be at all rare?That's rather dependent on the prevalence of spellcasting clerics, isn't it?
Fair enough -- all Grimlock literature is preserved in a kind of Undercommon Braille.There is also the matter of grimlocks and other naturally blind creatures.
Is it? Why would third-level clerics be at all rare?
Their wouldn't be. I don't envision a world where;How would various species use/make Braille for their blind members of their people?
I’m mostly curious to be honest.
I too don't see magic as common as you do. It would change a great deal of how I see my fantasy world if 3rd level spells were available to the poor.When Lesser Restoration is only a second-level spell, there is no excuse for any blindness in a D&D world. It is so trivially solved.
Their wouldn't be. I don't envision a world where;
1) blind commoners are that common
2) that their is enough social interest in providing a writing system for them
3) those rich enough to care for a blind family member (etc) with enough support to develop a braille system would just use magic to restore their sight.
Why would they be common? It's an assumption you're making. It's not categorically wrong, but it's not always right either.Is it? Why would third-level clerics be at all rare?
