ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

At least it was just a loremaster.

I've currently got a Yeek Corruptor up to the mid-30s, just finished Dreadfell. Really fun character so far, and my first guy to ever make use of fearscape. While that skill is really awesome, there are some areas where it just fizzles--it's unusable. And while one lost turn isn't so bad, sometimes ...

Right, and I mentioned the quest log in the original post. I use it frequently for checking alchemist quests and fortress energy for farportals. It's just not terribly helpful when picking up a character that hasn't played for a while. The quest log gives a really rough idea where you are in the gam...

So the symmetric line of sight system--will that have any effect on AOE talents? What I mean is, currently targetting an AOE talent around a corner carves out a hole for the caster: ############ # 00000# # 00000# # 000*0# ##########0# ##########@# ########## # Where "*" is the targetted sp...

One feature I'd love to see is simply a log that displays dungeons visited, and max depth visited at each. I currently have 10 or 15 different characters that I've started and go back to periodically. Whenever I load up an older character, there's no quick way to tell (so far as i know), at a glance...

* I'm a big fan of keen senses for the 20% or so boost to spell crit. * Illuminate at 3 blinds, which is useful throughout the game. * Meta is a popular tree to unlock: Spell shaping is good if you decide to pump inferno, and Quicken spells will lower cooldowns on spells and runes. * I used to rely ...

On the other hand, I've reluctantly decided that the quest is generally worth doing for melee characters, even without saving the girl. I used to just skip it with my melee guys, but then realized I almost always find the Titanic shield in there, as well as a number of other good drops. Actually, th...

Has anyone gotten a version higher than b31 working on a pre-10.6 osx yet? I spent another couple hours working on it today and still no good. I copied the sdl frameworks and libpng14.dylib file from the official download on te4.org into a folder in my T-engine directory. After adding in various hea...

I think I got this thread a little off track. I guess I was talking more about a general sense of "where you should be" at various points in the game, with regard to accuracy. For instance, in tome2, I think it was generally accepted that 30 points in weaponmastery was a good number to sho...

Could just split the difference on Grey and Edge's idea and remove the stat requirements for generic trees only. Stat requirements generally shouldn't be a problem on class trees, but can be a huge impediment on generics and that is probably where most of the equipment swapping comes in.

I actually kind of like Defender. To me it sounds like a callback to the defender ego from Angband, which kind of fits conceptually, as defender weapons generally made you more impervious to stuff. It also draws a more obvious contrast to berserkers on its face: What do berserkers do? They go berser...

Yes please. I would prefer this and would be willing to invest points even if it was still 10 points. I say merge the respective mastery talent with combat accuracy. I'd be more willing to invest in other generic trees with the freed up points--survival, harmony, antimagic, escort trees, etc..... Cu...

Why do they have archery? It is completely useless (unless someone corrects me and tells me they actually spend a category point in it?). Well there's at least one winner that went heavily into archery (the last one before me in the character vault). And it makes some sense--fighters typically max ...

I believe tht you can also do it when within Xcode by just changing the selection in the pulldown in the upper left-hand corner of the base Xcode window. Well, at least in my version of Xcode, that menu only sets the active (or base) SDK--the version you're building on , rather that the version you...

So....does it use mental save or spell save?
