ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I had to post and thank you for this guide. It's one of the most well-written guides on the forums, and turned a rich, mechanically complicated class into something I could easily digest. Possessors shot up to one of my top 3 favorite classes, and I don't remember the last time I had so much fun wit...

There's a mod called Talent Point Planner that lets you check scaling on everything. It basically gives you a max-level character and lets you spend the points all at once, then save the template to compare to as you level up. I got it on Steam workshop; you might have to dig around a bit if you're ...

Rolled a dwarf because dwarf. I couldn't stand corruptors or reavers, but I really like Doombringer. I made Doombeard work like a fire-heavy 2H arcane blade with explosions everywhere, fearscape, and demon form. He's chewing through the east right now, past the first pride (fighter). I gotta say, th...

My Dwarf doombringer with melee focus is pretty powerful, but I'm using shield/teleport runes as defenses, since the class doesn't seem to offer than many. I have died to a couple of one-shots though... typical.

Yeah +raw HP gear doesn't care about your hp per con penalty. High levels of raw hitpoints give you a huge bonus on solipsists (from dismiss and the +psi per healing boost. Keep those regen infusions up!) and mindslayers (from shields).

I skipped sleep and went.... with lots of other stuff, mostly dream smith and distortion. Take a look: http://te4.org/characters/31725/tome/53679ec0-aa2e-4126-a076-222602d2e33b I actually think taking the dream stuff makes the class harder because it's so finicky trying to rely on it instead of soli...

Psiblades on lots of mindstars do mind damage, so mental tyranny is a very strong choice. And yes, dual-wielding them counts for windblade. Those are the two I chose and it worked very well for me. Irresistable sun scales off strength, which you probably won't be stacking as much as will. Flexible c...

The mechanics are pretty simple: If the orc leader is alive when you run out of health, you don't lose a life. If he's been killed, you die. If you kill them all, he drops an artifact and you get the achievement. I've beaten it a few times, mostly with area damage characters, but you can increase yo...

Figured I'd add something, here's my clearing warden: http://te4.org/characters/31725/tome/d65a10a9-25b6-4aa4-85a5-31acd6cac055 First one I tried, so the deaths racked up to noobery could have been avoided. For what it's worth, I took stone alchemy immediately and had enough gold by endgame for 4 me...

I might well be wrong here but I think getting the Wildfire unlock just adds it to subsequent Archmages, I don't think you'll get it on this one so you may be saving those points for nothing. Can someone confirm/deny this? Yeah I'm almost certain this is the case. You won't get wildfire on that cha...

Shortstaves are kinda rare, though they get more common in the east. It's just an ego the same as any other, you only need to get lucky enough to have one drop. Taking corrupted shell for the save scores wouldn't be my first choice on a dwarf simply because you can get +10 all saves by imbuing a sin...

Wyrmic. I won with a psiblade wyrmic back before it was trainable. It should be even easier now, and you have tons of utility to back it up. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.

Wow. So to get full use out of it, you have to be wyrmic/antimagic with at least 3 points in the tree, have lots of dangerous magic effects on you, cancel your current regen infusion, use a wild infusion, use fungal blood, cancel the terrible regen, use an escape if you have one, then reapply a new ...

Can someone explain the mechanics of Fungal Blood to me? Every number or calculation I see, in-game or not, makes it seem like a pointlessly small heal unless you do something absurd like take the wild-gift talent that lets you reset infusions and then spam several infusions in a row just to get eno...

Yeah, gonna go with halfling ruins next to mountains/water
