    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.

        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.

      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.
