ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Mindpower could work, but it would only really be useful for mind damage type stars, or stuff with mindpower based procs I guess. How common are those? What in the world would defense do? Counterattacks exist, I guess, but they're really rare. I don't think they really warrant it. But yeah, I'd just...

Well, maybe we'll get a nice stealth model out of this one?

(Instead of my horrible attempts, at least. )

I don't know that i agree about adding the .2 category mastery Shield Offense nor maxing the Shield Offense tree is a waste. Improving the three main dps skills by even 5%, all of which hit 2-3 times thereby increasing the boost by 2-3 times that value, is well worth the boost. There really aren't ...

I also think you'd benefit more from battle tactics. Especially for cornac - diverting a point or two from each of the shield offense talents into greater weapon focus is pretty much a straight up increase in damage, even if you had spent the category point on shield offense. Also, step up is amazin...

Looking through the code, I think it's a multiplier based on the default ai weighting. Most talents have a tactical field that the ai reads to determine when to use them - for instance, rush has: "tactical = { ATTACK = { weapon = 1, stun = 1 }, CLOSEIN = 3 }", meaning for instance if the e...

Here's an earlier post of mine : Here's how npcs currently work (if I've read the code right): If they don't have a target (or a 10% chance if they do), they set their target to the closest hostile in their field of view (out to their sight range, usually 10, but blocked by walls), regardless of ste...

Melee prompts an extra stealth check. There is no "Unaware" state. They move immediately to "previously spotted" as soon as you move within LoS. Being unable to see your enemy, for whatever reason, gives you a flat 2/3 miss chance for melee/archery. Unless they're illuminated - t...

We used to have egos that had downsides, but they got rid of them in the last big ego cleanup.

I'm a bit late, but I thought I'd chime in anyway. Looking through the code real quick, I think you can wrap postUseTalent located in engine.interface.ActorTalents. As far as I can tell, it's the last check that's made for a talent succeeding. So do something like: local postUseTalent = _M.postUseTa...

Telepathy lets you see that creature type up to 10 spaces away, even through (non-vault) walls. 1 power regenerates per game turn. Also, note that cunning/survival/charm mastery reduces the power cost. It lets you see out to radius 5. So it's only useful if your light radius is smaller than 5. I'm u...

I mentioned something similar to DarkGod a while ago (I think it was a friendly summon instead of vs.). Since saving extra character data would probably need to use extra space on the servers, he said that such an addon would likely be restricted to donators only. So, possible, but probably a decent...

For situations like this, you can "edit" your addon page and set the "Steam Publish ID" to pick which one you want to use, since it can get out of sync like this.

You might be able to use self:enoughEnergy().

You can set game.target.forced = {x, y, target}. See technique/skirmisher-slings/T_HURRICANE_SHOT for an example.
The relevant code is in engine/interface/GameTargeting.lua:targetGetForPlayer

Well, by "turn" I meant "tick", so you can still get hit several times before your turn comes up again. You'd just avoid that one set of hits (which could arguably be called an "attack).

Like I said, that'd be ... hard.
