Eric just needed a better backstory for his wheelchair-bound character. And really in most high fantasy settings the only way it makes sense to have a permanent disability like that would be from a curse.
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
Player: “I do something to Eric’s character against his will.”
A good DM: “No, you don’t.”
End of discussion.

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
