Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bayushi_seikuro" data-source="post: 9415635" data-attributes="member: 7024851">I think it all depends.  Normal humans moved to a fantasy world would have adaption issues any way, but I feel the 'adventures' a person with disabilities would undertake, like anyone else, would be those that play to their strengths.  Kind of like Tyrion Lannister - partly he was relegated to the politics because of his father's views and his limitations, but he made himself exceptionally good.This discussion also reminded me of the old book series Guardians of the Flame, where modern college kids got fused magically with their fantasy RPG characters.  It took adapting.  BUT, on their only trip back to the Real World, knowing he had lost all his magical abilities, the formerly 14th-level wizard grabbed all of the engineering class books he had.  Sure he had lost all his class abilities, but... he now had the know-how to invent guns and gun powder.  And as they advanced their tech, he sold off the previous iteration - meaning people were using flintlocks when he had moved his people onto cartridge rounds.The series also featured a character who in the real world was in a wheelchair, but in the fantasy world he was a dwarf berserker.  There's a scene that always gets me because he fired up his berserker rage in one scene remembering what it was like in our world.  It was pretty grim, but it had inspired a friend's character in the first campaign I joined outside my house - a friend who has MS.</blockquote>
