Doing a full nights rest restores 1 point of each stat. Lesser Restoration (spell, potion, or scroll) will also remove 1-4 points for each cast/usage.

Are you resting for long enough? Failing that; do you have access to someone who can cast Lesser Restoration? It's a 2nd level Cleric spell (not sure if Inquisitors have access to it), also a racial spell-like ability for Angel-kin Aasimar, available in potion form (not sure when the guy at Oleg's starts stocking them), scroll form, and the cleric of Erastil you meet at Thorn Fall (Jhon, I think his name was) might be able to provide it as well once he's made his way to Oleg's after you meet him.

Read the tooltips right at the start, it literally tells you how to remove strength loss.

Most issues people have with this game can be fixed by reading.

Half the time, the tool tips are blank. I've had some strength loss where it just said -2 strength loss, and the rest of the tip was blank.

Temporary ability losses are cured at a rate of 24h/ point. For permanent losses you need a high level cleric spell, Restoration (cleric spelllevel 4).

BUT you can also heal temporary abilitiy penalties with the spell "Lesser Restoration" which is a spelllevel 2 cleric (paladin 1) spell.

Resting in a safe location, like Oleg's, will restore 1 point per day you sleep, in my experience. I had like, -10 to my DEX at one point, and I don't really want to try and sleep for a week and a half to clear it, reeaaallly gonna hurt...

It might be considered a bit of a spoiler, but... Ability drain and ability damage are two separate things. "permanent" is a misnomer in this game. I got up to about 3/4 through the 2nd chapter, and never got ability drained (the version that requires the full restoration like pool mentioned). Poisons and diseases and the like is considered temporary... So the permanent tag can be very confusing.

Yes, ability drain is normally very rare and is mostly caused by powerful undead creatures. I doubt that this is the case here, at least not in the first 2 or 3 "books" of the campaign.

To be fair, a loading tip does mention that "permament" doesn't mean "you can never get rid of this", but means "it won't wear off on its own, you have to do something about it".

But.. It will go away on its own, if you rest. That's the thing. It's confusing to newer players.

Lots of sleep. LOTS OF SLEEP. Rest more than the standard amount. it'll go away over time, not all at once.

It won't go away on its own in the way the game is implying. Normal damage to your attribute wears off in minutes or hours. "Permament" means unless you actually stop and rest (or your other methods), it'll never go away. It is a little awkward wording, but its probably more to blame the source material then this game in particular, its just the same terminology the tabletop uses.

Well, you get 1 point in each stat per night... Wish I could do that in RL. My kingdom for some sleep.
