[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4584346, member: 35909"] I didn't want a 13th level cleric handing out casting (for money) to be an easy thing to get anyway, so I was considering making a small quest out of it if I kept to ruling that it needed regenerate. Some people are saying to use Restoration, I guess that could work, though I don't think it should be the same as ability damage (because if so it'd heal on its own, and likely much faster than it should). Also, if it were con damage, that'd gimp him pretty badly till they break out of prison and get to town, being a front line warrior and all. I guess I could not deal ability damage and just say healing it would be a different function of the Restoration spell. Doing so makes things interesting, as the party just turned level 6, so the cleric couldn't yet heal him for a few sessions. A scroll would work, but cost as much as just paying the regenerate casting fee. They could do the quest idea, but it seems decidedly more lame for a spell the party could just cast themselves in another 3-4 sessions of unrelated adventuring anyway. Maybe if he likes the idea of playing with slurred speech and needing mushy food that doesn't require chewing for a few sessions, I'll just tell the player a Restoration will fix it, the cleric can heal you in a few sessions, until then...pretend you're a Monty Python actor and have fun with it. Unfortunately, it's online with text, so it's not like he'd be doing wacky voice work. [/QUOTE]
