That's, at its base, 7 points applied. The character gains the 2 points and the rest vanish into thin air. The characer was given the positive energy and was given more than they needed. That makes sense.Ability damage, however, isn't that simple. If I am down 7 points in strength, I have taken 7 points of ability damage. Not an infinite number. When I am healed, I am given enough points back to restore the damage that I have taken. That is what is meant by "all." I regain all the ability points I have lost. I have lost 7 so I regain 7. If I lost 5, I would regain 5.</blockquote>
