ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Just wanted to provide some support for making something with activated Track etc. It was main reason why I suspended playing ToME.

Block is very powerful as is. You can attack twice in 2 turns or you can block and then attack dealing the same amount of damage thus you get less damage for free, with high tier shield "Counterattack" status lasts more than 2 turns and it becomes even better. After block you can use talen...

Thank you Doctornull! I was lucky to find a shield with Block 5 property before Dreadfell (I like opening chests) and it looks like the property determines number of turns for Counterstrike status. I've seen it giving "Counterstrike 3" status to enemy, that never happened with Block 1 shie...

Thank you, Crim!

Here are some stupid questions from my bulwark ;) 1) What does "Block 2" do comparing to "Block 1"? 2) Do shields block any damage if I don't activate Block talent? 3) Does shield block first attack only or several attacks during a single turn? 4) Sometimes I use block when an en...

Thank you HousePet!

Do you mean that they always scale with something? I thought that's because they have a fixed effect.

Thank you for the explanation, Crim! I read stories but not very carefully ("diagonally") because there are too many unknown words for me (I speak technical English mostly) and I would need to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to switch to online dictionary which is irritating. I hate reading poems even in...

Damn, it looks like I will need to read carefully all artifact lore in order to find clues on hidden properties.
Is there any other hidden info? Should I carefully read all those poems and 3 pages length stories?
It is somewhat time consuming when English is not your first language

After killing 3 escorts with Death Dance I set it to always request confirmation. It would be nice if the confirmation appeared even if I didn't set it up, something like "You are going to hurt allies. Proceed? Y/N"
Or maybe just change Death Dance to hurt hostile monsters only.

The only dungeon with 3 floors and enemy at the bottom that I can think of that you would access in the far east is the spider cave, or the shadowy crypt. Or orc breeding grounds. But those would all be at least screen width levels, not really tiny ones with no teleporting. I'm not sure where you w...

Thank you all for the replies! I didn't expect Flexible Combat to be useful because I don't understand how unarmed combat works, I thought I would need to get some Combined Points or something. I will read more about it. I rushed to Slaisul without checking whether it is neutral, it is my fault that...

This is my first character so I am not sure what to expect. I am XL 31 Dwarf Berserker and I have a couple of questions. 1) Is it a good idea to choose Massive Blow as prodigy? I mean will there be many walls in late game? I selected Steamroller but it looks like it was a bad decision as I start run...
