The Bullheaded Mutagen has amongst its drawbacks a loss of RP. What exactly does "lose" mean in this scenario?
Are those RP "tapped out" and unavailable while the drawback is in effect, only to return once the mutagen wears off? I.e., using a Lesser Bullheaded Mutagen temporarily drops my RP by 1, but if I use 3 LBMs over the course of a day, I didn't lose 3 RP.
Are they lost and never to come back that day, just as surely as if you had spent them for anything else? I.e., does using three Lesser Bullheaded Mutagens lose me 3 RP?
The Drained condition's use of the word "lose" suggests the latter, in that recovering from drained raises your maximum hp total back towards normal, but your hp have to be recovered independently. However, that seems so excessively punitive and out of proportion with how the drawbacks of other mutagens work (to a one, every other mutagen's drawbacks take place then and don't affect the rest of your day) that the former seems like it's supposed to be the correct conclusion.
