Healing Potions and crippled limbs

If your limb is crippled and you drink a potion to heal the damage, does it also remove the crippled status?

If it was temporary crippling, then yes. Otherwise no. See "Duration of Crippling" Exploits p. 61

edit: ...and "Effects of Healing" Exploits p. 62

Yep. If the crippling is only temporary and you heal to full HP, the crippling goes away; how you get your HP back (natural recovery, first aid, potion, spell, the temple . . .) is completely irrelevant. If the crippling is lasting or permanent, too bad – restoring HP isn't enough, as you now need powerful Healing spells or expensive temple services.
