ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

PSA: For linux users, if you like messing with gamescope and other things with this game and you own this game on steam. Run it with Valve's proton translating Windows API calls, it just works. I never used to have trouble with this on my old linux mint system, but I recently put bazzite on another ...

This is very interesting. A couple of years ago, I tried the physical Reaver build many times and failed to get it going. The only win I could get was with a "blight" Reaver. I couldn't even hit level 25 with physical Reaver. There's no range, you have no spellpower, bonegrab doesn't hit. ...

I found out an interaction that may or may not be a bug. Requires: Ethereal Form Prodigy, frozen status When frozen with ethereal form prodigy, bumping the ice block will inflict demerit stacks of ethereal form on self, two stacks if dual wielding. After I found that out, I tried to see what the int...

Beat Insane adventure first try. No deaths past level 30, every death beforehand was from me pushing my limits, Grand Corruptor, C...

In my view 3 or 4 shadows only makes a small difference in whether you survive. 3 shadows can do everything 4 shadows can do a little slower in most cases. And more importantly 4 shadows will get wrecked by a wildfire arch mage rand boss in the same number of turns and I am not convinced blighted su...

I have an uncomprehensive guide to doomed which isn't long enough so maybe I will tack it onto this thread.

1. Unlock Cursed Aura,
2. Boost Cursed Aura at level 10
3. Take Antimagic
4. Take Adept at 25.
5. Maybe you win maybe you dont

I have been reading some negative comments on people’s experiences on 1.6.x here on the forums, and I thought I would add my two cents about the cause and offer what helpful criticism I can regarding this. I am not a super strong player. I have beaten insane roguelike once and beat insane adventurer...

This is just a gut feeling for me and I am happy to be corrected. I think npc resource scaling is a bit broken. From what I understand npcs get more level scaling according to difficulty and an additional resource scaling which makes some fairly weak player classes into killer npcs. Notably mana and...

Those are some good thoughts. Fungus and antimagic by themselves aren't that strong, but together boosted seem pretty significant. Now that you mention summoner, I remember on my last win a few years ago, I had to boost the category containing the fire drake to make it work, so that may be a theme w...

I am trying to make this work, and I have a feeling this prodigy is actually pretty strong. Here's what I tried so far: Mindslayer (scales pretty well with absorption, resonance focus, and combat mastery 1.0->1.3) Nothing amazing, but lots of small stacking scaling. I tried going adept -> superpower...

Do you have any rituals playing tome? And why? I have a day's break before starting certain things in the game. Tier 2 dungeons. Tier 3 dungeons. Vor armoury. I take a day's break after each character death. I lose exactly one character of each class I try to Melinda's trap because I think I am bad ...

Maurader's talents at birth include a point in heavy armour mastery which cannot be taken out, seeing how mobility now requires light armour, can they start with light armour mastery instead?

When undead use the blood of life, a small part of their body becomes alive enough to inscribe an infusion on it. Still not enough to give them a second life though.

Either:allows the character to learn one infusion (ever)
Or: allows the character to have a maximum of 1 infusion at any time.

I make decisions pretty slowly compared to other people, I remember my rogue and summoner both spending about 10-12 hours on a Saturday each just for high peak. My last winner was over 50 hours in play time.

1. The developers let you play whatever play style is available to each class. Just play on normal. I've played stabby stealth rogue before on normal, it's doable, and it's fun. 2. If you want to play whatever playstyle you want at whatever difficulty you want, the only way that works is if skills a...
