Another kind of stat loss - and how to get it back

[logan9a]

There are some creatures out there which permanently drain Willpower, Strength, Endurance, etc.

These come right off of the PC's percentage and they don't try any skill up's at the new lower percentage. In other words, they're just fucked.

Fortunately, the PC's have MAD healing rates and they can even overcome permanent losses.

All they have to do is get 'residual self image'. This is either done by a willpower x1 when sleeping (difficult if your willpower has been sucked out) or a fumble when sleeping (slightly easier if your willpower has been sucked out).

So you can't increase them until you get healed is what you're saying?

Correct.

Healing these kind of losses could be some nifty higher end heal tree spells.
