11-19-04, 01:43 PM There is no (or all) temporary ability damage. Basically, ability damage recovers naturally through rest, or a lesser restoration spell or higher will fix it.

Ability drain, on the other hand, will not come back naturally. It takes a restoration spell or higher to actually fix ability drain, and restoration will only fix one drained ability per casting.
