First of all its just inaccurate. Many heros in many fantasy settings have some kind of limitation/disability

Name 3

Cohen the barbarian. And he gets by just fine eating his schoup before he gets dentures made from diamond.

You go do the work, and enjoy some books while you do it.

Go read a few ravenloft, forgotten realms, dragonlance, or other dnd series

Go read some raymond e feist riftwar/magician books.

Go read a dozen palladium Rifts worldbooks

Just read any large fantasy franchise and you find any number of disabled characters

Damn near every healing spell in a fantasy ttrp will have a ruling on not being able to heal natural conditions such as blindness or simply that it straight up wont restore lost limbs

Im sure catti bri and drizzt ran into a few pirates and sailors with missing limbs

Or are you going to tell me theres no peg legs in fantasy?

No old heroes who cant fight anymore because they lost a limb

Ita inaccurate because most fantasy worlds that ive read dont have mid to high level healers in every square km of their worlds

Trying to think of some in dragonlance. Nope. None. Unless you count one page wonders that don't even matter.

You clearly don't understand how things work.

You made the claim. Therefore you have to provide sources to back up your claim

Only if i care to convince you, i dont

So fucking true. There are so many insufferable people on the internet that view any form of communication as a formal debate.

So you couldn't list any off the top of your head and had to rely on a list made by someone else. You're really just proving my point here

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago

I wasn't the person you asked to name 3.
Heaven forbid I contribute to the conversation by providing a relevant list to a discussion.
