Ability Drained

Ability Drained
The creature has permanently lost 1 or more Ability score points.

Effects
The primary effect of Ability Drained is the reduction of modifiers that come from that Ability. Note that this includes the bonus Hit Points that come from your Constitution. In general, every 2 points of Constitution damage reduces a creature's Hit Points by a number equal to its level.

Reductions to your Strength also reduce your carrying capacity and can render you unexpectedly encumbered, which reduces your movement speed, some Skills, and possibly your Armor Class.

A Player Character or enemy is helpless while any of its Abilities are reduced completely to 0.

Recovering Ability points
The creature can regain drained Ability points only through magical means.
