Removing Permanent Ability Damage

[MightyMickey88]

I just finished the end of Act 1 and have quite a bit of ability damage (primarily wisdom). I purchased scrolls of restoration but they don't remove any of it. What do I need to remove them? Thanks!

Restoration spells should remove ability damage, perhaps your game is bugged.

[MightyMickey88]

Well... that’s not good... is this a known issue or is there any known work around?

[Mr Fred]

Easy work around is to set remove all status effect when you rest. I personally always keep that up as a QoL feature.

[MightyMickey88]

But if it becomes permanent damage won’t it never be removed until restoration?

[Mr Fred]

A rest will remove every debuff with that option turned on.

[MightyMickey88]

Hmm probably even more problematic and I’m extremely hesitant to reload... but after looking at it more it appears my main PC has wisdom drain by his portrait but it’s not actually on his sheet... Camellia has three types of damage with only two displaying on her sheet and none can be removed... woljif has wisdom damage listed but his sheet shows both dex and Str damaged not wisdom... fml this is a bad bug...

If you set resting restores all then it should clear on rest.

You are right it should fix with restoration but make sure you aren’t using lesser restoration (that’s for temp when it firsts happens) you should
Be able to get scrolls or potions from the seller in defender heart

Also so tired of some of these like blindness I mean they will hit you with them before you can ever heal them naturally thru spells forcing save scumming or buying scrolls

You can set "remove debuff from rest" in the options.

On the other hand, make sure you actually used Restoration and not Lesser Restoration. Just in case it slipped your mind or something.
