This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean, have you considered a dwarven wheelchair made from the shields of the fallen, using their frames for wheels that grant comparable protection while gaining grip compared with a wooden spoke?

Or a druidic wheelchair of entire roots that bonded to the druid when they were mortally wounded on the forest, bonding them permanently?

Or a warlock who walks with an artificial leg of miasma and lurching tentacles that his patron restored him to in exchange for his soul debt?

Literally no reason and no way a wheelchair in game is more a liability than some geriatric old fucking wozard breaking his hip or your characters having a concussion and needing an EMT.

  1. Though better than the alternative it would still be terrible on any uphill.

  2. Roots bonding to the lower body would not form a wheelchair, more like darth maul spider legs.

  3. That’s a leg, not a wheelchair.

In every scenario, using any magic would circumvent the disability in a way that ends up mimicking walking while not being a liability.

Yes.

That is wheelchairs and prosthetics do my friend.
