The D&D Combat Wheelchair meme stems from a homebrew supplement created by Sara Thompson to introduce functional mechanics for disabled characters in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. While designed to improve representation, it sparked a massive, often heated debate across platforms like Twitter and Reddit regarding the balance between 'fantasy realism' and the 'rule of cool.' Memes surrounding the Combat Wheelchair typically mock critics who find a mobility aid immersion-breaking in a world filled with magic, or they highlight the badass tactical advantages of a chair equipped with spikes and grappling hooks. It has since become a staple symbol of the modern TTRPG community’s shift toward inclusivity and creative character building.
