Talk:Panacea

Ability damage
I am not finding Panacea to be curing ability damage as stated. I've tried it several times for this, and each time I have to turn to Restoration (Lesser, standard, or Greater) instead.
 * Interesting... I know I read a reference somewhere that said it cured ability damage, but I just went into VoN 5 and it didn't remove the ability damage from the zombie diseases. All the forum references from quick Google search seem to make the distinction between "temporary" ability damage (like from Ray of Enfeeblement) and "permanent" (as from Wounding/Puncturing/etc). --Thalone 23:03, April 1, 2015 (EDT)
 * The tooltips for Panacea and Restoration/Greater restoration all say "removes temporary ability damage." Lesser Restoration reads differently (and more awkwardly IMO) "Dispels magical effects reducing one of an ally's ability scores."  Also, in the interests of full disclosure, I only have Restoration and Greater Restoration memorized, so I shouldn't have included Lesser in my OP above as it is untested by me for ability damage removal.
