First of, if your server is setup to only deplete stats on death and not
remove em completely, all you need is a restoration potion and there
are always a bunch of those for sale in the house of healing in scorn.
Spells etc of restoration doesnt work for this, only the potions.

As for stat pots there does seem to be fewer now then there was for a
while, but they sure do turn up both on maps and in shops, especially
if you know where to look. (anyone say pupland?=)

Yeah eating poisonous food has always been deadly for newbies, ie only
thing you 'find' you eat is corpses since theyr never poisonous.
I vote for this to be changed, since the only one who has trouble with
food are newbies and it sure feals kind harsh on them sometimes...

Ofcourse you can get lots of neet stuff from praying, you do need some
wisdom lvls though, and most important a high wisdom stat. Most bonuses
you can just forget if you have below 20wis. Oh and here is another,
cheaper, way to get your stats back, just pray for it =)
