ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I don't have any suggestions, but I will verify that this was a problem for me too. My alchemist is the only one of my 4 endgame characters that just couldn't reliably survive orc patrols... the other 3 had no problem (Berserker, Archmage, Anorithil).

One note about hymn of perseverance - I think it is so strong because it provides a bridge between when stun resist becomes *necessary* and when you can actually get items to provide the stun resist you need. A late game character has many more options - make bloodstone rings, 30% plus stun resist f...

I had no idea the Ring of Death had that ability - I keep on getting it as a drop in the mid / late game, and +10 luck alone is kind of underwhelming. As far as the patrols, my recommendation for Anorthil is to use their darkest light ability - whatever it is called, the one that grants invisibility...

This is a bit of threat necro but as of b20 this could still be improved. I got the blood of life and just assumed it was a passive bonus and would be removed from inventory when you died - didn't know you had to drink it.

By the time you make it to the east you should have at least 2-3 invisibility runes. Keep them equipped until you have the abilities you need to tackle the patrols yourself. Invis is the best defense against ranged characters in open areas.

If you have problem with orc patrols, try using an invisibility rune. Those elite spellcasters have a lot of AoE spells and will often kill themselves when they can't see you.

After playing and winning an Anorthil I thought I would offer a bit of input. Regarding the draining of energy, I can't say I care a whole lot, it is a bit of tedious micro but it isn't that bad. I was lazy a bit early on, but later I tried to keep maxed negative energy for the use of darkest light ...

So this requires a high level of corona and moonlight. I have only *noticed* this bug twice, and it is that I will shoot myself with corona projectiles when moonlight is critting several times per turn. If this is working as intended, then read no further. I am attaching a heavily edited sdout file ...

So this happened because a crash broke the scripting, but IMO there should be a fail-safe to prevent major quests from being broken by exiting and loading a save. I finished Tannen's tower, then the herald made the portal to the East. Foolishly, I decided then and there to allocate unspent talent po...

Hi - so I am an Anorthil fighting a Faerthling. I cast aura of sanctity to silence it. It tries to cast disruption shield, and the spell fails, causing an explosion that deals 143 damage. I don't think this is intended, but what is worse, it tries to cast the spell again and again.... hundreds of ti...
