ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I have done a bit more testing. The bug does not appear when using invisibility alone (I played a skeleton shadowblade with invisibility) The bug does not appear either when using secret of the eternal alone. So it seams to be a combination of both which causes the bug. (still testing to understand ...

(maybe a duplicate of bug http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=41779 ) While using invisibility or secret of the eternals (I had both active when this happened), and under a certain circontance that I dont remember, my character has gained a permanent invisibility. When checking my stats i...

I just faced a strange death. I faced the Horned Horror with my shadowblade (nightmare difficulty), and never managed to hurt it. All my blows where stopped by her armour, (up to 20 damage per hit blocked) whereas her armour (as mentionned in the description) was 3 (with 30% or armour hardiness). An...

I agree with several of your remarks, bpat, regarding the usefullness of several talents. However, as I said : I made several choices for this build, so some of my comments are based on these choices. The main problem in playing shadowblade is, in my opinion, to choose between all these great talent...

This guide is based on my firts character winning the game (normal difficulty) : a stealth Shalore Shadowblade I made several choices for this build, so some of my comments are based on these choices. Contraty to several guides I read, I chose to bypass several trees completely to focus on others. -...

I have focused on cornac shadowblade (against skeleton shadowblade) mainly to get the stealth tree at the beginning of the game Being stealth means - almost 100% critical hit after lvl 10-15 - defense against many classes (casters can usually be reached before they land a spell on me, and sometimes ...

Has anybody already tested the Timeless Shalore racial when the shadow is out of LoS ?

It has been a long time since I did not play a skeleton shadowblade. (my last build is v1.1.3 Cornac shadowblade, with focus on stealth : 1000+ darkness damage with shadowstep is not uncommon) I agree that the main vulnerability of shadowblade is stunning : but unless I'm mistaken, stunning do not p...

In my opinion, the shadow is still usefull : - Weaken a target (stun + shadowstep + flurry), and then do the same thing with your own self - Works also quite well againt curruptors : weaken the bone shield with your shadow, then leave the shadow and attack the poor unprotected and silenced corruptor...

Spell/Temporal is really worth the category point. At least if you can get to 20-30 Mag. (use items for this, do not invest any point in it : you need them for Dex/Con/Cun) So this is not a good idea for a starting category point (for Cornac shadowblade), but a very good idea for lvl 10. Far better ...
