ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Yeah, I'm of the opinion that a str/cun build focused on two-handers is a good way to unlock the marauder. I've been trying for QUITE a while, and then once I saw this thread, it only took me a few days to get the unlock :). And with only 2 poisons boosting Venomous Strike! Here's a link to the rogu...

AFAIK, you'll have to compile from source, since it's still in development. Try http://www.libsdl.org/hg.php - you want SDL 2.0 (it's the same as 1.3, just a different name). You may need to use a specific version of SDL 1.3, though, in which case you might need to download the Mercurial repository,...

This would be painful for something like an archmage :-/.

Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who feels a little dirty for playing on adventure difficulty, but does so anyway with the hope that I'll be able to learn faster if I have more high-level deaths .

One other thing: Does Time Prison (cast on yourself) work for avoiding the effects of the shield explosion? If so, you have a very effective boss-killer, assuming you can survive one round of the damage and recover from losing the sustain. Further testing indicates: yes, yes it does let you dodge t...

I think I've encountered this problem, as well. IIRC, I was playing a mindslayer (in b40) and used a wyrm's mindstar on the mainhand mindstar, to complete the set. I *thought* they had somehow combined, since the mainhand one disappeared and was replaced with the wyrm's, but it sounds like I actuall...

Awesome . (didn't see a mention of that when I did a quick search)

Gonna bump this because I just had a good run with a mindslayer, and it was rather annoying to have a targeting cursor pop up every time I changed zones.

Also, confirming a spike on the world map can do odd things. The one time I tried, it was a thermal aura, and I managed to cause damage to myself.

Oh, fatigue would definitely be useful. I'd tried wearing mail armor on a previous character, but decided this time around that the spellpower boost from robes and wizard hats would be more useful than fatigue (after all, more spellpower = more absorption). But, if you're already investing in armor,...

Ooh, I like the sound of that. I'd experimented with Thunderstorm on a disruption shield build, hoping it would help me drain mana, and decided that it would likely be underwhelming. Particularly given the sustain cost and the investment of class points. But, 7.5 mana per bolt, up to 6 bolts, and Ao...

3. As it stands, there's a big incentive to leave your starting dungeon immediately and not come back until you have leveled up as much as possible, so as to be as powerful as possible when you meet your escorts. This is the result of the early game being kind of boring and repetitive (too many Tie...

http://te4.org/characters/1596/tome/f3ea96f2-645e-4df3-8424-198d918c7181 Advance warning: I'm verbose. The bullet list in the middle should work as a passable tl;dr, though. I've been playing with the new Disruption Shield for a while now, and although I still haven't beaten the game (got careless ...

The Hidden Tunnels moved, yes. I don't think I've encountered them between Elvala and Derth for a while. Try autoexploring (press 'z'), that'll usually do it. Or wander a bit further afield. Adventurer packs are indeed still starkly lethal, for most classes. Even for classes that can handle them, th...

I've heard that Trollmire is supposed to NOT generate disconnected sections any more, right? Well, looks like that can still happen. Specifically, I'm currently looking at a tile, surrounded on all 8 directions by trees, which contains one of the pieces of lore for Trollmire. Luckily, I know exactly...

So THAT'S why I keep dying to those. TBH, I'd never actually looked at their talents in-depth until I saw something with a hymn and a chant summoning shadows.
