Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC
(files.catbox.moe)
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.
Not the person you asked, but I think the idea of “self” in this case is “how do you picture yourself when you imagine yourself whole/healed.”
Born without a limb 30 years ago? You likely can’t regenerate it, because when you picture who you are, you’re a one limbed person.
But it plays in other ways as well. For instance, while regenerate may technically have the ability to regenerate problems such as the example from a meme a while back where a person had their appendix removed, the idea of self would inherently include their appendix being removed as that’s the only way they could see themselves as whole/healed.
Exactly, how one sees themselves as complete and whole plays a role in it.
Plus there's the whole "if you were born without, that's at most your complete state."
So if someone was born without an arm they'd need a lot more than Regenerate to get that arm, it's take a True Polymorph to get it.
