Disabled D&D5e Heroes Coloring Book

Posted on November 11, 2022 by Dale CritchleySeptember 6, 2023

Limitless Heroics: The Coloring Book. As our heroes fight the hydra, we see just some of the variety of symptoms represented in this book. The paladin has a prosthetic arm to assist with their amputation. The barbarian rages from their wheelchair, providing mobility for their paralyzed legs. The ranger, whose body is more accustomed to an aquatic environment just as someone in the real world may be more comfortable in a quieter or darker sensory environment, finds ways to compensate and keep fighting.
