Is Lesser Restoration Worth Keeping?
While Lesser Restoration is a simple enough spell and can come in handy on various occasions, it becomes more and more obsolete as you progress through the game. That’s because you can find several items that can grant you immunity, or at the very least, high resistance to disease, poison, paralysis, blindness and bloodless. Shadowheart, a NPC who can become your ally, is a Cleric and can also use it.
However, if you plan on keeping Astarion around and romancing him, it can be worth it. Still, with the Amulet of Silvanus, it seems less important, especially since you can get the Amulet quite early in the game. At any rate, the decision rests with you, so make your decision based on the information we’ve provided and get back in the game!
