Yeah that's more regenerate or maybe power word heals territory.

[-] Dabundis@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

Even with regenerate, what exactly are you regenerating? If the necessary neural pathways for the legs to work never developed in the first place, they couldn't be "regenerated". If this was your goal I think you might need to true polymorph a guy into "the same guy but his legs work"

I think it would probably require greater restoration.

Also, regenerate would definitely work you would just have to cut his legs off first.

[-] Dabundis@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

You couldn't "restore" something to a state it's never been in. Cutting off the legs and then casting regenerate would "regenerate" the lost pair of paralyzed legs.

[-] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago

Greater Restoration ends a "debilitating effect" pretty sure most DMs would allow a 5th level spell to cure paralysis.

"Your nerves are forged anew, and your legs are as strong as a marathon runner's. Unfortunately you never learned to walk, much less run. Good luck."

I don't think logic applies to healing magic in DnD lol.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 months ago

Is logic not the role of the DM?

“You touch a creature and stimulate its natural healing ability.”

If stem cells could solve the issue, it’s possible. Turn it into a surgery, high DC medicine check, or an insane arcana check and a DM would probably let it play.

Simulacra and Clone, or Greater Restoration should be able to achieve the desired effect, provided a competent heal check.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's explicitly within the capabilities of a Lesser Restoration, but also I would not allow a player to cast that spell on another player if that other player didn't want it

Edit: also as another person said, the adult who has never used their legs before never learned how to walk, so even if they had functioning legs, it would not help
