I do like the sculpts, but I’m not sure if the rules needed to defend the existence of the wheel chair so agressively.

The one aspect that is always ignored is the effect of spells like ‘restoration’ and ‘raise dead’ on a society and the healthcare it has available.

If magic (and miracles) can cure practically anything … then why are there people with disabilities in such a world ?
Is it simply a matter of money/resources ?
How do people in such a world view disabilities ?
Are there regions where it is used as a form of punishment, which means that outsiders get treated differently ?

And indeed the question no one ever asks : does it need fixing at all ?

Does a pirate with a peg leg or hook want it to be replaced or does he want to have it as a constant reminder ?

I’m sure the average cyberpunk game has similar questions to answer …
