ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

If you want to go the barehand combat route then going Loremaster is apparently better than Possessor.

I've never found one of those scrolls myself but I think it would depend. If the vampiric mod gave - 20% life and the life mod gave +20% life then it would. However if one gave +/-40 while the other gave +/-20 then it would be different. I piddled around with an alchemist a while back and made a Vam...

I have seen a vampiric weapon of life before so they do exist.

It had cancelled itself out so the life gain/loss was at 0%.

Phew eh? :wink: I got given the Long Sword of the Dawn by a Princess in Mirkwood with my current character. My first thought was "woohoo!" because I've never had it before. After a few swings my opinion of it changed somewhat.... Still I guess it can be useful for farming dragons in Erebor...

I've only played three of them. Moria about 20 years ago on my Amiga is the only one I ever finished. (Halfling Mage with Dagger of Godly might and other equipment that made it almost as fast as a Large Leprecaun) After a very long break I got bored and discovered Angband and from there went to TOME...

Would it be worth getting if you had the rod of home summoning?

A scroll of Reset Recall would get you back to the world, reset to the top level of moria then just walk out.

Oh, cheers.

Ungrateful cow.. After a hard fight I rescued the fair damsel and as a reward she gave me a pair of boots. Lovely boots too, they gave Black Breath and carried an Ancient Foul Curse. :evil: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had a full inventory and dec...

Things went pear shaped with summoning going out of control, I activated the ring, selected the target to swap with and noticed that targetting it had cost me 8 of my valuable spellpoints leaving me with not enough to swap with. If you don't have enough spellpoints, abilities use your hit points in...

The wilderness area around the entrance to Angband is a good place to look for a Cyclops.

Dim Gates.. such a lovely place. I went in there with my possessor on Sarkos body, 4k hp +70 speed and ring of Flare. I figured that if I had diffuculty I would just use the ring to take me to the end, grab the swag and leave. After all it only costs 13 mana to use the swap skill and the 17 I had wo...

Hi You will not regret having a ranged attack, some creatures in this game are very hard to get close to without having to battle through legions of summoned nasties or having to tunnel through lots of walls. My current favourite additional skill at the moment is divination because it saves so much ...

Having my manathust macro both unequip and drop my lightsource while in a deep dark dungeon. Being unable to get back to it due to nasties in the way and being completely unable to cast spells or do anything else as a result.

I've recently discovered TOME and I am hooked at the moment. Well, I tried it a while back but I never read the instructions/wiki and kept getting ganked by Wormtongue in the thieves house quest, so I quit. :x I find this variant far more interesting than vanilla once you get past all the gumpf and ...
