Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I'm sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

So, by the same logic, why would anyone ever have a STR score that was less than fucking Hercules'?

I'm sure if the rules allowed them to, they would.

The spells that can cure blindness, deafness or fix paralysis and other things are very clearly in the rules as well as how they are integrated into the world itself within the DM handbook.

And yes, there are even spells that are basically body modification. Fuckin' Wild Shape. Becoming a lich. Etc.

Instead of taking this to mean you shouldn't play a disabled character, work around it and answer the questions that will inevitably pop up as to why. Being born that way and not wanting to erase your identify is still a good reason for most of those. But if you're like the able-bodied edgelords I've seen who want to play as a fighter who was blinded in battle... Well.
