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.

Does disease exist in a fantasy world? Why would anyone be sick when you can find a sorcerer, wizard or cleric (or even a spoony bard like Volo) and restore your health in at least 20 different ways?

  1. You need to be able to find someone with the skill to do so.

  2. I need to be able to pay them to do so.

    Lesser Restoration is free and usually offered by clerics at any good aligned God's church. Which, in Faerun, are easy to find.

    Beyond that, there are magical diseases that can't be cured by normal restorative magics. This is used in the plot for Neverwinter Nights.

    This is very specific to DnD while the meme itself could really be talking about any game, be that some other tabletop RPG or video game.

    Even in D&D, they could be playing their own custom worlds. I've never actually played in an official setting unless I was DM'ing (because I love Forgotten Realms). Obviously if they are playing a low-fantasy setting with minimal magic or without magic it wouldn't generate the questions of "why didn't you just X?"

    Personally I play DnD in a Forgotten Realms inspired (Mostly Forgotten Realms but like a number of years in the future with a new Mystra)

    I'm the DM and one of the things I brought up was basically "Yeah there's magic, but it sure as hell ain't evenly distributed"

    Wizards are a secretive bunch, and the higher level the spell the rarer it is to find let alone someone who can cast it
