Inside of your are two wolves. One is in a wheelchair. The other is bulemic...
@japananon The concept of a “combat wheelchair” could be pulled off if it was totally overboard and had humorous elements (e.g. “Granbo” from the Gwar universe)… but 99.9% of the time is is pure cringe.
BTW, here is “The Morality Squad” by Gwar
OK, let's pretend there is such a thing as "wheelchairs" and "disabled people" in the medieval fantasy world, and wheelchair-bound adventurers exist and go around fighting evil and stuff.
Why, oh why, me, as a dark lord villain who rules with an iron fist over the meek and impotent, would go out of my way to put fucking accessibility ramps in my ominous tower from where I can make everyone tremble under my menacing stare?
If anything else, I'd make the path to said tower even more inacessible.

@Suzu @japananon @LoliHat Lesser Restoration is a 2nd level spell and can end paralysis. If you have set up your world right, a level 3 Cleric/Bard/Paladin/Ranger/Druid would definitely do that for someone either out of the goodness of their heart or for a little bit of gold. That is, if the party doesn't already have someone who is playing one of those classes (unlikely).
the combat wheelchair is utterly useless. it's going to be harder to find and likely more expensive than someone who can cast a 2nd level spell to PERMANENTLY get rid of someone's paralysis.
it might be more useful for someone who has actually lost limbs, because the earliest spell that can do that is a 7th level spell, Regenerate, which needs a Bard/Cleric/Druid of 13th level. this means that the affected person would have very little chance of finding someone who could use the spell in the first place, and even when they do it's going to cost them a pretty penny.
still gotta' think about the world though... how would someone be able to afford an indestructible wheelchair that effectively lets them act exactly how a non-handicapped creature would? it wouldn't ever make sense in-world unless there was just a group of people who were always born without legs so they had to invent some way to get around and still excel.
and yeah, an evil lord certainly wouldn't make their dungeon accessible. how the fuck is the wheelchair-bound character going to cross a chasm, or get out of a pit, or even walk up stairs? avoid trip wires? swim through the flooded corridor? it's just stupid to think that it would be made easy specifically for them. if anything that would be part of the difficulty of playing a character like that, you would have to get really creative as a player rather than forcing the DM to stifle their creativity.
