How do you get rid of Ability Score Drain?

[Cruddy]

I've used all types of Restoration types on my characters with it but it won't go away.

Use it multiple Times, Restoration doesnt "instantly Vanishes" the Drain, it only Restores some Points... For Example Lesser, Restoration restores up to 4 Points with 1 Cast.... If you got -8 Stacked on you you need to cast it several Times.

Beside that, check if you got any Diseases or other Permanent Effects, which Inflict Ability Drain, if you do, you need to get rid of them first.

Restoration does it.
There does seem to be a bug where characters have the "ability score drain" debuff tag but no actually drained stats - check your stats to confirm whether the actual score is affected.

This is super annoying.

Especially when it's a drain on a stat the character is low on. Even casting Greater Restoration does nothing. You basically have to wait for it to go away (which it never does) or for the game to reset it when you gain a Mythic Level (assuming it's the MC).

You can also use Toy Box, I guess, but it's still really a pain.

Restoration cures all ability drain and lesser has an average of like 1-3 each time i believe from the looks, and then you need Greater Resto to cure those perm negative levels if you get any

Long rest

If you're talking about what I think you are. It's a UI bug. The icon will be there forever but if you look in your stats you'll see it's not reflected in them.

I noticed that too but I do believe there is a hidden stat drain bug as well cause I kept rolling a 1+3 from buffs for Willpower yet I have 5 and about +7 or so from buffs/items as well

Here are the pics I made in a previous post about it

Ngl, Ability score debuff and negative level is the most annoying thing in this game. This makes Turn mode a must on these enemies because they spam that ♥♥♥♥ so fast that you get hit 10x times in 1 second and some enemies are especially annoying. These debuffs are not balanced for real time mode.

I always use rest to get rid of it because im lazy to use potions, at least Death Ward makes you immune to negativ level. These debuffs should be 1 hour (for time skip use instead of rest) but not permanent.

Had to fight an enemy that hit like 6-7 times in 1 round and had Ability damage + negativ level in just 1 round my guy was at lvl 1 ( from 10)
