The ex-leper complains to the Cleric that now that he has cured him, he no longer has a respectable trade and his livelihood is gone, bloody do-gooder. He wants to be a leper again or at least make him lame in one leg.

I'll do better than that friend
Creepy beggar masters with an array of cripples, fake 'cripples' and kidnapped children (who have been crippled) are an underrated archetype.
>kidnapped children (who have been crippled)
sounds like Bender
bzzt, we were looking for 'faegun' (forgive the spelling)
apologies skipper.
They literally did this in Assassin's Creed and it was stupid.

Rrrrriiiiiiiight. Not like it was extremely popular until relatively recently.
Every c**t who wants to see Life of Brian has seen it.
what's the reference?
Monty Python's The Life of Brian.
Tell him to always look on the bright side of life.
If you put it upside down it makes your head look tiny.
i want to say V for vendetta, but i'm guessing thats incorrect.
Oh yeah, that was a bit from that "life of brian" movie.
Good on you for remembering a thing from a popular IP. Great job. You're doing terrific.
No pleasing some people
You should consider self termination if you get triggered by someone referencing a thing they like on the internet.

What exactly do you think leprosy is?
Well, he got better.
I've never met a person too rich to DM well before. How did you do it, Anon?
By 'it' of course I mean 'grow up moronic'. Are you an actual Trump? A Rothschild? A Rockefeller?
It's fricking happening again.
Pretty sure it’s been established that the kind of healing spells that can cure the issues that cause the requirement of a wheel chair, like paraplegia, are usually high level and not accessible to the average person (setting and system dependent of course). In 5e Regenerate is a 7th level spell, meaning you need a level 13 cleric to cast it and those don’t exactly exist in every little hamlet, and that’s the lowest level spell I would say would fix a paraplegic.
Lesser Restoration is a level 2 spell. It cures the paralyzed condition.
From spells and venom, not spinal injury or birth defect.
Wrong. read the spell. It cures Diseases and Conditions. Pay careful attention there..
"Conditions" and "Diseases" are very different things from each other. A condition is just something that is affecting you immediately in game. Poisoned is a condition, temporarily paralyzed from and exterior source is a condition. Blinded by something and being able to get immediate relief for it... Those are conditions. But "Diseases" are also mentioned and it says that it cures them as well. Anything that the DM considers a disease can be cured by this. For example if someone has a genetic disease, minor restoration would cure that, a disease that infected their back and paralyzed them, lesser restoration would cure that and restore mobility 100%. Anything that is a disease would be cured by it. If you go and look at the cure disease spell in 1e that right there gives you the guidelines for what cure disease can do... and it's very very broad because it's not an instant effect. So if you're in the middle of combat and you cast cure disease on someone it could take up to a week or so for it to cure them 100% and they'd need to rest and heal while it's doing its work. So it's a long term spell. But yes, if you have a birth defect, that's generally considered a disease. Rickets, where your bones are bent and twisted, lesser restoration would cure that, untwisting the bones, and so forth. Take something EXTREME like Elephantitis (you know, the Elephant man) lesser restoration would, over the span of a week would cure them of the disease completely, huge chunks of diseased skin and bone deformaties would slough off, revealing healthy flesh and bone underneath. In a week or a month you'd have them go from grossly deformed and diseased to fullly healed, normal, and showing no trace of ever having had the disease. This is a good example of the actual amazing power that healing spells have.
>you see, we could just change the rules so that the people from this setting would never have to suffer with physical disabilities. But we rather make the curative magics inaccessible so the characters can perfectly reproduce the pain and suffering that their disabled players have to endure in their real lives, so that they can be represented in their misery also inside a made-up story. It's not like people play games to escape their realities.
>slavery? oh no we don't have slavery in this multi-racial medieval-inspired setting. Rape? of course not. Sexism? No, why would it?! It's a fantasy setting, why not remove all the unnecessary pain and suffering related to the real world?
So after some low level healing magic former paraplegics can enjoy walking in chains after being enslaved and raped, is that your setting?
>chains
Just re-paralyze them, its reversable isnt it?
>Pretty sure it’s been established that the kind of healing spells that can cure the issues that cause the requirement of a wheel chair, like paraplegia, are usually high level...
Completely inaccurate. Lesser restoration (5e) or Cure disease (1e-3e) can fix almost any issue, it just takes a little time.
Go give Lesser Restore a read.. Conditions AND Diseases. So the spell is NOT limited to just conditions. In this case a "condition" is a game term, not a medical one, and it just defines what sorts of effects can be immediately cured by lesser restore. Diseasese however are also mentioned. The old spell cure disease has been rolled in to lesser restore, so you get that benefit too. A cure disease can take up to a few weeks in really extreme diseases to completely cure the person of the disease and the injury the disease did to him or her. Let's say someone gets a back infection that attacks and destroys their spinal cord. A cure disease will cure it, and will reverse the damage that the disease did to them. It will in effect, undo it. The destroyed spinal cord would be completely repaired or regrown. If you had leprosy it would cure that, and the damage it did. Though it might require that you get a regeneration to restore any fingers, toes, legs, or arms that the leprosy might have caused to rot and fall off.
Diseases cover a very wide definition and ultimately your DM needs to decide how long it takes for the spell to fully effect full healing, and what it's limited to. Consider, if it can regrow nerves killed by neuropathy (a disease) then it can sure cure a lot. Liver disease, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, all diseases... and cure disease or lesser restore can cure all of them and even undo the damage they did. If it can regrow your liver, or fix a bad pancreas that's a lot.

Anyway:
>Local Priest tires Cure Light Wounds. Doesn't work. Implies you're faking paralysis for attention. That'll be 100 gold, please.
>Get second opinion. 100 gold up front this time. Referred to St. Mungfrick's Hospital in nearest major city.
>Healer casts Cure Disease. Doesn't work. Charges 1,000 gold regardless. Spend 6 months at a nearby hostel, waiting for a referral to the specialist, at 100 gold per month.
>Get referral; spend 1,500 gold traveling to capital. "Specialist" is high-end suburban clinic/monastery. The kind of place that probably charges you a copper an hour to breathe the air. Casts Heal, 6th level spell that can only be cast by the very wisest of senior high priests. Does not work. Paitient in next room walks out of clinic; you're wheeled out. Again. Fee: 1,000 gold, non negotiable.
>Your last hope is the spell half the clerics you talk to refuse to believe exists, and the other half consider an abomination: Regenerate. There are only 7 people on earth who can supposedly cast it; the closest has a waiting list of seven years. The shortest waiting list, a year and a half, lives on top of a mountain halfway around the world.
>10,000 and three months to get there. 500 a month for 16 months while waiting for an appointment. Might as well do a level dip into Monk while you're waiting. 30,000 gold for the procedure itself.
>It works, but you're stuck at the ashram for another 7 years while the insurance paperwork clears. Something about 'Out of Network Providers'.
>10 years, 43,000 gold, never mind the low six figures of lost income from not adventuring for that long.
Meanwhile:
>Combat wheelchair, 500 to 1,000 gold, covered by most health plans, annoys grognards.
>annoys grognards
Hi there.
L6 Heal restores all hp *and* cures blindness. Cure Blindness by itself is only L3, as is Cure Disease. Raise Dead (open casket edition) is only L5. So a theoretical Cure Paraplegic spell should be somewhere around L4, available to a clv8 Cleric, and costing somewhere in the 1,500-2,000 gold range.Figure one of these guys per mid-sized city or rural province.
Not to get into fantasy economics here, but anyone who could afford a tricked out adventurers' wheelchair could afford to get healed and walk again.
>raise dead
>L5
>speak with monsters
>L6
>it easier to resurrect a corpse than it is to have a conversation with john the minotaur
kek
on a side note, the captcha has been asking for 6 characters all day today when it normally only asks for 5. is this happening for anyone else? it's not a problem, it's just weird
Yeah, the captcha things been happening to me, too. I'm assuming it's a security upgrade after that chat-bot trolled /misc/.
qrd?
also, back to 5 now for some reason
>Do I detect a clover leaf in that redhead's hair?
Do you not recognise the character? She was created on Ganker.
homie he knows, we all know, and i don't know about him, but i sure am tired of seeing that mistake posted,

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
Just put the mask back on dude. Nobody is going to go up to you and try to verify that you have a disease believed to spread just via proximity to the victim.
Exploiting a curable illness to gain sympathy or aid from others is not a 'respectable trade'. Give the fricking parasite a clip round the ear and tell him to start working for his living, like everyone else does.
Well he never asked to be cured.
Complain to Jesus, leprosy is an illness not a class feature
I thought this was a darkest dungeon reference before I read the desc fully xd
Speaking of, how would you run a dd type campaign? I'm trying to implement a mechanic in my game similar to stress by tweaking the CoC sanity system
