When you use restoration to restore temporary negative levels, do you immediately regain the current hit points that were lost, or just the total hit points?
For example, let's say you were at 35/35 hit points. You were hit by 1 negative level, taking you to 30/30. Then you used restoration to restore the negative level. Would you have 35/35 hp again, or 30/35?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie

Here is the rule:
For each negative level a creature has, it takes a cumulative –1 penalty on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, and skill checks. In addition, the creature reduces its current and total hit points by 5 for each negative level it possesses.
It stands to reason that when restoration is cast, the current and total hit points both increase.
