Sanity System - Lesser Restoration

[Tacgnol9001]

Hopefully someone can shed some light on how Lesser Restoration works in regards to sanity healing and lesser madness reduction.

On the Sanity Rules it states:

Sanity Rules wrote:

A single casting of lesser restoration reduces sanity damage by 1d2 points up to once per day;

Further down it states:

Sanity Rules wrote:

Certain spells can also aid in recovery from madnesses or cure them outright. Lesser restoration has no effect on greater madnesses, but reduces the current DC of one lesser madness afflicting the target by 2, up to once per day.

My question is, do we get both effects from a single cast? It seems unclear due to how it is written and how lesser restoration normally works. I'm assuming the intent is you get both from a single cast.

I have not played with the alternative madness rules, but the way I read this is as follows:

The first effect (reducing sanity damage by 1 or 2) applies when you have sanity damage but not enough to have madness.

The second effect applies when you use the spell on someone who actually has madness. If its greater madness, it does nothing. Otherwise the DC for the rest check to recover from madness reduces by 2 (once per day, no stacking).

But it certainly isn't using language to make that really clear.

Yeah, the wording certainly doesn't make things clear.

It's the kind of thing that could be solved very easily with a minor change as well.
