I think BR was designed as a Low powered World, a reason is because of it=
's
"hook." It's very play concept. It's not like FR where you can find a h=
igh
level priest in Waterdeep or Suzail, it's more like a low powered campaig=
n
where the Pope would be a 12th-level cleric.
As for a regeration attempt? Make a special quest for the PC and his gui=
ld to
go find "Asreal's Wand of Regeneration!" or some similar artifact (artifa=
ct
wouldn't be a bad term for such a magic item!). Then, whole, the thief w=
ould
have all the members of his body needed to storm the temple.
