Ability loss d/t roll the body and bleed out .. lay on hands

Post by Holden Trainer »

Can a cleric heal the permanent ability damaged taken from bleeding out / roll the body if the character survives with lay on hands?
What level must the cleric be?

Said cleric has two choices.

(1) He can request divine aid. There is a big cost to this, of course, but it is an option. Considering the price to be paid, I would set the DC fairly low (10?) if it were only a single point; higher if more damage needs to be restored.

(2) The 2nd level spell, restore vitality, with a result of 20+ can restore permanent ability score damage (but not lost Luck).

I hope that helps!
