Restoration via items

Without using spell completion (scrolls, wands, etc), how might a lone non-caster get access to this spell?

If you can use rods (you should) then Rod of Bodily Restoration will do.

Best regards,

And the Orb or Mental Restoration as well.  They're both in the Magic Item Compendium.

I was going to suggest the rod and orb, but they come with a warning.  They cure ability damage (ie temp), but not ability drain (ie perm).  Restoration cures all ability damage, and the ability drain for 1 stat.  Restoration also dispels negative levels and restores 1 lost level.  The rod and orb may or may not work, depending on what the OP wants the restoration spell for.

Ring of Spell Storing (DMG) - pricey, and you need a caster to put the spell into the ring in the first place.

Potion - normally potions are restricted to 3rd level or less spells,  Restoraton is 4th level and so can't be put into a potion.  However, there's at least 2 classes that CAN put up to 9th level spells into potions.  And if all you need is Lesser Restoration, that can be put into a potion by any old potion maker.

I think there's a Scarab in the DMG that stops you from taking ability damage/drain and negative levels in the first place.

Good luck!
