ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

But is it true that the game does that to prevent escort grinding, or was I just astronomically unlucky?

It seems that if you restart the same character more than once, the game stops giving you escorts in trollmire and norgos' lair. Is this true? Is there a away around it? I particularly need the celestial/light talent category from the anorithil escort to make the build I want work, and quite frankly...

...Ugh, I lost at the very beginning of part 5. Shame, this could've been fun.

So my latest arcane blade, Alastor Skullkraken, champion of damned souls, wound up dying horribly in the fearscape at the mark of the spellblaze, and I was bummed. Then I looked around and discovered that being a skeleton actually has even more disadvantages that I hadn't even considered, and also d...

Does meditation have any negative consequences for summoners, who don't really do any damage themselves? Does it nerf their summons in any way?

Fearscape doesn't actually put your skills on cooldown. That was probably another effect like stun and maybe Burning Hex. Oh I knew that, I guess my phrasing was a little vague. Yeah I'm pretty sure it was burning hex. Anyway, this is helpful. Suppose I'm really unlucky with items, are there any ar...

I... I don't understand what just happened to my character. I'm so confused. I had a really amazing run with Alastor Skullkraken the skeleton Arcane Blade, I had reached level 22 or so and I was about to take on Dreadfell, but I thought I'd go to the mark of the spellblaze first, since I had that he...

I noticed that Ogres have a skill that means they can wield a two-handed weapon in their main hand, and that reavers' off hands can equip the same weapons as their main hands. Does this mean that an ogre reaver can dual wield two handed weapons, or does it just mean they can carry a two-handed weapo...

So I'm curious about the cloak of deception that comes with the undead races (I'm assuming ghouls have the cloak of deception too, not just skeletons, but I've never gotten a ghoul so I'm just assuming), specifically what it means for cloak use. It keeps all humans from seeing you as an enemy, so it...

It mostly depends on the talent in question and how long the cooldown is. Most of the time, you're probably better off using the shorter cooldown first because most fights don't last that long, and you have a higher chance of using a short cooldown twice. If one talent is significantly better than ...

Hey, just wondering if I could get some advice about something I've been wondering about for a while, I just wanna check to make sure my logic is sound... The basic logic I'm thinking is that when I have a bunch of skills that do similar things (shields, healing, damage, etc.), I should use the ones...

Hey, I had this idea for a toggleable feature for ToME that might eliminate annoyance and pointless accidental deaths-by-interface. Basically, ever since I unlocked Skeleton and started making Skeleton Arcane Blades, I've been utterly paranoid of using the arrow keys because of the skeleton warriors...

When playing TOME, what escorts do you generally hope you find and can successfully rescue? For me, it's always the Lost Anorithil whenever I'm playing an arcane blade (particularly a skeleton one) because I rely on the aegis tree and a large network of shields and healing spells (which then create ...

Oftentimes the game becomes unresponsive in one of two ways. First is that the screen freezes but judging by sounds I hear when I click, it's still registering stuff. The second one has the game go completely unresponsive to mouse clicks. Has anybody else encountered this? I'm running v1.0.0 on a mac.

thanks. Oh, and is there any way to get summons with AOE to not attack you?
