How Do You Remove Permanent Paralysis?


Rules Questions

I'm running Kingmaker for a group, and

Spoiler:
the big bad of Book 3, Vordakai, can permanently paralyze creatures he touches if they fail their save.

My question is: how does that get cured?

The Remove Paralysis works on temporary paralysis.

Thanks in advance for the assistance


There is an exception for lich paralysis, which is what Vordakai has.

Paralyzing Touch (Su): Any living creature a lich hits with its touch attack must succeed on a Fortitude save or be permanently paralyzed. Remove paralysis or any spell that can remove a curse can free the victim (see the bestow curse spell description, with a DC equal to the lich's save DC). The effect cannot be dispelled. Anyone paralyzed by a lich seems dead, though a DC 20 Perception check or a DC 15 Heal check reveals that the victim is still alive.

Wonderful! Thank you very much!

It will depend on what kind of paralysis we are speaking. Generally any ability that produce permanent paralysis should explain how it is removed.
