ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

How exactly does damage affinity work? Let's say I have 25% affinity to Darkness. Does that mean that I'm now immune to Darkness damage and instead get healed by 25% of teh damage I would've taken? Or do I take the damage as normal, but then get healed for 25% of it? And in case the second scenario ...

The time limit got extended by a week so if anyone is still up for this, you have until Saturday to do it.

I have a few additional questions about zone scaling. 1) If I enter a zone at level 10 then immediately exit and then come back at level 20, what will be the level of the zone? Will it be 10 (it gets set the first time you enter) or 20 (it gets adjusted every time you re-enter)? Each zone has a min...

OK then. I've never played a Doomed yet.

And if I'm not mistaken, you can look at their color to determine to which normal damage type they correspond. For example Drain Life has the same brown color as Blight.

But that's usually a waste of category points. I think it's better to unlock 1 or 2 new categories and spend the rest on new infusion/rune slots.

That may very well be the case. Like I said, i was just theorycrafting.

You can also get temporary Resist Arcane from talents. Specifically, when your Disruption shield overloads you get 75%+ Resist Arcane for a few turns. I'm still theorycrafting, but I imagine iff you're an archmage with Arcane and Aether, you can probably get some good mileage out of Aether Premeatio...

This may seems painfully obvious to experienced player, but it took me a while to realize: spells can crit and so do mind powers. Cunning isn't just for rogues, mages have a use for it too.

I realize I'm late to the party, but I'd just like to note that in TOME spells can critically hit. So if you want to blast things, don't neglect Cunning.

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this, but I figured it was the best place to get an answer. I noticed that certain addons are considered to be "bad" by the game (specifically, I noticed it with this one: http://te4.org/games/addons/tome/rest-tweaks-rechargeables-offhand-a...

You'd first need to unlock those options and time is running out. 28 hours to go.

Edit: I give up. Failed with my 9th character and there is no time left to give #10 a try.

If I remember the advanced tutorial correctly, if the defender's save is 10 points better than the attacker's power then the chance of the attack working will be equal to the specific attacker's minimal chance of success. And if power is 10 points higher than defense the attack has that specific att...

It's interesting to see just how much I came to rely on the transmogrification chest.
