Attributes can get lowered for various reasons. Diseases lower stats,
certain spells enemies cast on you, trap etc.
Check if your character caught a disease, you would see an icon in the
magical effects toolbar on the lower right. If not, you probably ran
into a "Damage <stat>" spell or trap.
As solution, visit the next Imperial Cult or Temple altar, where you can
heal diseases and restore the attributes. Or go and learn "Restore
<stat>" spell and heal yourself. Or get a potion which restores the
stat. Having "Cure Common Disease" and some restore spells, or the same
as potions for the not so magically inclined dudes available is a good
idea as various critters lower your stats quite often, so running to an
altar can get annoying when you are in the middle of a dungeon. You can
buy those spells at the Temple or Imperial Cult.
Basically there are three types of "Lower some stat" effects:
* Drain -> only temporary. You will see the lowered stat in red, but it
will restore itself when the spell wears off, usually after a minute or so.
* Damage -> The stat is also written in red, but the effect lasts until
cured by altar/potion/spell
* Disease -> Stat is lowered until the disease is cured
