    Nope. Stop with the fucking ableist erasure of differently abled individuals. It’s just a fun little game to play with friends. It doesn’t need fucking massive essays of world building.

      Yep, it’s fine to roleplay a character who can’t be cured, or just prefers it that way. Just as it’s also fine to have a tabaxi be a vegan, because it’s a fantasy and players are allowed to express themselves however they wish and the lore is always secondary to player enjoyment.

      Even in a setting where having your head chopped off is a minor inconvenience for anyone who has 1000g, there would still be people who choose not to have an amputation healed for any number of reasons, and thay choice should be up to them.

        I’m saying you don’t need that to explain the existence of differently abled individuals in a fantasy setting when there are curable conditions people have in the real world that go uncured.

        Essays of world building are basically the bread and butter of D&D.
