Magical Mobility Aids
The situation is simple: a character is paraplegic and the Restoration spell isn’t available for whatever reason. So a mage starts brainstorming ways to let the character walk. I’m wonder how to do this; a Flight object is one option for mobility, but isn’t exactly walking. Perhaps a dancing object variant?

Re: Magical Mobility Aids
Well, flight is a mobility aid whether or not it counts as 'walking'. The cheapest option for mobility is probably a specialized golem to carry them around.

Re: Magical Mobility Aids
A Golem should work - a seat with legs of its own that the user commands to move wherever is needed.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Anthony. Dancing Object also feels like it could work, as you noted in your first post. |
Re: Magical Mobility Aids
Sounds to me like a quest line . . ..

Re: Magical Mobility Aids
Walking is difficult. Mobility is another matter; as others have said, being carried by a golem is a good bet; depending how much the golem has to resemble a human or animal, a golem turtle with a chair on its shell would work. Or a small flying carpet.

Posession. Give up your body and invade a better, younger one. The new one can be a golem or a victim.
Undeads dont need a "nervous system". Become a lich or similar. Use a "magical automaton proxy". You cant leave your arcane laboratory but you can see and move and speak through a magical automaton. |

There were 'go-limbs' in 3rd edition, basically magical prosthetics. I'd look at the cybernetics section of Ultra-Tech and switch around some modifiers.

A simple floating chair.
A wheelchair without the wheels. And oh look, a chair is even a specifically permitted target for the Flying Carpet spell. (MAGIC p 146) |
Re: Magical Mobility Aids
Using magic via advantages:
Gadget, boots. Grants "Not paraplegic" (requiring user to apply a mitigator to their "paraplegic" disad.) throw some other disads like reduced move, clumsy, or whatever to mimic an imperfect solution and reduce the overall cost of the gadget. [insert Meta-tech boilerplate for $ pricing] I once played a wizard with a limp, but he flew everywhere with his magic ring, so the limp barely gave back any CP. |

There is a D&D book Limitless Heroics that is all about disabilities and aids for them in RPGs.
