ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

The exact same thing happened in my last game [1.48 or whatever the most recent version is]. It makes a Stone Warden who wants to use this skill unplayable. I would love to see the bugs around Elemental Split addressed.

Before mindstar training was available at Zigur, finding an alchemist on a mindslayer or perhaps Wyrmic was extremely exciting. Now, not so much. The problem is, if you find the alchemist before you've unlocked the tree at Zigur, you'll get it for .8 instead of 1.00. If you don't unlock the tree but...

I was playing a Sun Paladin and got to Dreadfall. The way I play, I set Retribution to activate whenever possible. I descend a staircase and get an escort quest. There's a monster adjacent to me, hits me for minimal damage, but my retribution was close to max, it detonated and killed escort. Boo. As...

Of course it's scummable. Start a sun paladin, drown a fool. No blue spawns? Drawn yourself and restart. 90 second investment of time. Only takes 2-3 times usually to get a blue. I find the celestial start pretty easy, certainly easier than a yeek, and Anorithil's have little problem with the boss i...

If you want a serious response, roguelikes are about optimization, resource allocation, and longterm planning. If I can get an early game advantage from this why not. Crawl learned this lesson, which is why there's no scumming in crawl beyond Pan where it no longer matters. And ToME certainly embrac...

But seriously I'm just drowning everyone up in here.

This can be done in Derth and Last Hope, but it's really egregious in sun wall. Step 1: be a sun paladin. Step 2: find a blue named NPC in sunwall. Step 3: Drown them. Step 4: Congratulations! You're now level 3 and have a nice tier 3 item. I'd just prevent blues from spawning in town, or make them ...

How about at the very least make them not run from stationary enemies

Giving Wyrmics the unlock isn't enough, cause there are other classes that could potentially want it.. mindslayers, solipsist, etc.

Other escort rewards are nice, but this one is a totally different playstyle and shouldn't be luck dependent.

Please allow for Mindstar mastery training at Zigur, either at the cost of money, arcane powered items, doing a quest, or doing a jig in real life, videotaping it, and sending it to DarkGod. I'm really sick of scumming for Alchemists with my wilders

I just unlocked corrupted shell by repeatedly casting soul rot on myself. Running out of vim didn't even matter since I just used blood casting. Even if you were to change it so that self-inflicted blight damage didn't cut it, you can achieve the same level of scumming by having an elven blood mage ...

I was going to concur with the OP, but if this is true I might stop hating on the level.

I just completed the Charred Scar (and the entire game!) for the first time today. One addition I'd like to see to the CS: Spoilers - - - - - I had no idea how much time I had to complete the quest, so I hauled ass down the map and didnt even stop to pick up loot. After I took care of the boss, I hi...

Easy solution: add the brotherhood of alchemists to one of the towns (probably last hope). Going into it should inform the player of this year's applicants (currently 4 alchemists), should allow you to select an alchemist, and look at help the alchemist is seeking, etc You could still get the quests...

Andarion, the disgraced/banished Sun Paladin. Andarion is randomly found in the East. Unlike the 2 quests in the west that trigger randomly, he is standing on the world map by himself like the alchemist hermit. Dialogue: Andarion: "Greetings, brave traveler. By the looks of it, you have seen m...
