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.

    What if someone wants to be a cripple? Wouldn’t healing them ruin their self esteem? There should be wounds and scars that cannot be healed no matter what.

      Why would anyone want to be crippled? I’m all for accepting things as they are, but I’ve never met anyone who would rather have less ability as opposed to more. I’m hard of hearing, and I’d do an awful lot to get my normal hearing back.

        It’s not just about being crippled. The spell „Resurrection“ closes all mortal wounds and restores missing body parts. It will also uncircumcise the Jewish priest, removing all his powers.

        Because some people just want to. It’s the same thing as choosing your character’s nationality, sexuality, race, face features etc. Let people play what they want.

          I never implied that people shouldn’t play what they want and even said in my first post that I don’t see why someone would have issues with it. In my last response I thought you were talking about real life, since the conversation has been going back and forth between games and real life. Do whatever the fuck you want with your character. Why would I care?
