The two effects I know of that can reduce ability scores are the Shadow (Str) and the Intellect Devourer (Int). Are there any others?

Those are the same two I was going to mention.

Maurezhi (MToF) can reduce Cha, Phylaskia (MOoT) can reduce Str

On a related note, I discovered that Con score (not modifier) determines how long one can safely stay in frigid water (DMG pg 110).

That means that 4/6 ability scores do provide a (minor) benefit even when odd. :smallamused:

Wish brings your STR down to 3 if you use it to do anything besides replicate spells of lvl8 or lower.

The Book of Vile Darkness reduces one of your ability scores by 2 when you attune to it.
