[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 6792173, member: 6778044"] It could be similar. It's basically totally disabled, which my daughter is, actually. She's tube fed, so that's not an option for them. But she has to be changed regularly, fed, can't walk, pretty similar to the game description of stunned. She's certainly aware, can communicate (although doesn't speak words), she can move her wheelchair on her own, there just isn't really far to go in our house. So if that's the baseline we set, then it certainly would be evil to even consider a mercy killing. But if they are basically in a vegetative state, with no hope for recovery (and hoping to eventually get to 9th level doesn't really count), and we don't know which direction he'd like to go to recover ability damage. So I can see why the question comes up. But I still think that friend or not, a paladin and a cleric would put the focus on helping if that is in fact feasible. Regardless of all that, I would not take a player effectively out of the game for any extended period. Provide some sort of healing, they should have learned that they need to know when to run, and move on. It doesn't have to be complete healing, leave her with a temporarily lessened intelligence and one or more levels of exhaustion. If you don't want to provide the healing, then go ahead and let her die of natural causes and bring in a new character. It really shouldn't be this complicated - you've invited them to play in your game, let them play. Ilbranteloth [/QUOTE]
