    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.
