[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8473859, member: 7030132"] Except that clashes with combat heavy systems like D&D where it is intentional that you can easily "fix" people through cure and regeneration spells. Sure, from a out of game view you can see why you want wheelchairs in the game, but from a world building, in game point of view it makes no sense that wheelchairs exist which cost more (sometimes much more) than things which can completely fix your body of any disability. Same goes for transgender characters. For example Starfinder has incredibly cheap sex change potions (cheapest potion in the game, 25 credits which is well withing the range of nearly everyone except the very poor) produced on a industrial scale. With that being part of the setting its very hard to find an in game explanation why a transgender person would not simply use such a potion. If you want wheelchairs in your world then you have to design your system in a way that physical disabilities can't be fixed cheaply and easily. Thats why in Path and Starfinder the addition of wheelchairs as been done in a bad way imo. [/QUOTE]
