Could someone help me understand "drained" status? It seems that each time a character is struck by a drain attack, he loses a level - do I have this right?

This might not be so bad, I suppose, but I've no idea how far I am from acquiring the Paladin spell that restores levels. I am currently fighting in the dungeon of Dunkelloch. If it is going to be a long time before I get that spell, I may just go back to my pre-Dunkelloch save file. In which case, I will have wasted 3 hours last night and 2 tonight.

Anyone care to give me some hints on a) how Drained really works and/or possibly b) where the restore levels Paladin spell is and how far I have to go before I can acquire it?

Thanks and happy gaming!

You have to find the spell in the expansion.

You can also restore levels at the shrine in the Annsharbor market district.

There was a bug with restoring multiple levels, which may have been fixed. Either way, if you have a drained character, use the Paladin spell or go to that shrine and get him/her restored as soon as you can. Not only are drained characters down a level, they are gaining no exp from combat until they are restored.
