Question
QUESTION: Well, here goes. It is rather strange problem. After mission in Urshilaku camp, where I must named Nerevarine I got mission Warrior'r test to go to some place and aquire three artifacts, I aquired them, and give them to their leader. I wanted to go to next tribe to ask to name me for Nerevar when I was attacked by some blighted rat who made me some serious wounds. That was strange cause my wood Elf was rather strong with strength 0ver 80 and armor rating over 45 (glass armor). My light armor skill was over 70 at least. When I looked at stats I saw all my armor skills are 0. I don't know where my stats felt to 0, or how did it happened. Now, I am rather useless and I must ran beside opponents and use my longbow only, plua I can't advance in some guilds and factions cause they have requirements for armor skills. What to do now?

ANSWER: Slav,
 You need to heal yourself and regain your attributes. To do this SHOULD be simple. Find a shrine, (like the one in the Mages Guild in Aldrun and pay your 35 coins to be 'blessed'. This should remove your disease and let's you regain your attributes. Let me know if it worked. Good luck.

QUESTION: I have done that, but my stats are still 0, I waited some time to pass, since when they were falling down, it was for some time I think. Light armor was 70, then 50, then 20, then 0. SO, do I have to wait for my stats to restore?

Thank you very much mate for your effort

Answer
Slav,
 You wouldn't have the Sword of Fury equipped would you? It's a bug in the game that drains your attributes. If you have the sword, get rid of it. The only other cause has to be either you've contacted a disease, or you were hit several times by a greater bone walker. In either case, finding a shrine in a dungeon, visiting an Imperial altar, or visiting a Tribunal Temple can also cure you of disease or restore attributes with a small donation. But to make double sure you get rid of this, strip off EVERYTHING before you donate at the alter. Then add each piece back one by one.  Good luck!
