ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Probably just coincidence but it feels like a Kiseijuu/Parasyte reference.

I've been told that a steamwizard is in the works, so hopefully, if/when that ever happens, we'll have tinkers revisited as well so that shields and staves have ones that are worth a damn (mana coil is good but it's your only option, really). Officially or addon wise? I had an idea for a steam wiza...

I loved the TOME 2. It was at that time I joined this forum:) The class I liked the best was the possesor. You had the ability to posses a body of a dead monster. Also minibosses and bosses could be possesed. You could end with a body of a Special monster and have 6 arms and no legs :D ech... old g...

Had a promising demonologist die to a fox dual wielding steamsaws, so I feel your pain.

The description for Mindwave states that it will deal damage in a cone, but the talent actually targets a ball: target = function(self, t) return {type="ball", radius=self:getTalentRadius(t), range=self:getTalentRange(t), friendlyfire=false} end, I haven't actually used it yet myself, but...

Indeed, the code does not lie: ... getPower = function(self, t) return self:combatStatScale(" str ", 30, 50) end, tactical = { BUFF = 2 }, action = function(self, t) self:setEffect(self.EFF_ALGID_RAGE, 5, {power=t.getPower(self, t)}) return true end, ... I would say the description is inc...

I honestly think we could use an offshoot more than the alchemist getting more love. Or at least another golem user that plays differently. I had the idea once of a Psionic-based one, but other than that not much came from it. Maybe it revolves around the player setting up an advantageous situation...

Yeah, I do think the Alchemist could probably use some TLC in general, and was also quite surprised they didn't have a tree unlock out of EoR, seems like it'd be a natural fit for them.

(Steam power enhanced golems or something)

Thanks. I knew it was a w word, but...yeah. I could swear they were created by the Sher'tul, and the reason the gods hated them was because the gods were kind of dickish progenitors who harshly criticized everything the Sher'tul created. But you're right that they were calling the Sher'tul their br...

The only thing I can think of is the whatchamacallum's, the cursed Sher'tul-created race. When they show you their name, and it's a sci-fi/fantasy word? I'm kind of tempted to hold off on giving them the last yeti muscle until after the end of the game just to see what happens there... Alternativel...

It might be entertaining to play through the majority of the campaign that I skipped with that mysterious Amulet of Gardanion equipped, though I get the feeling that the "Read and Speak Sher'Tul" property is just there to torture us. It is not :P Oooo, you teasing teaser person. I... had ...

Now that might be a bridge too far - an Orc exterminating the Orc Prides would be a little much. Maybe the Yetis though. The Yetis are just Orcs though, simply controlling a Yeti body. The only way I could see an Orc working is if they were a Doombringer/Demonologist, since iirc (been a while since...

It might be entertaining to play through the majority of the campaign that I skipped with that mysterious Amulet of Gardanion equipped, though I get the feeling that the "Read and Speak Sher'Tul" property is just there to torture us. It is not :P I... had a thought. What if you put the am...

Go ahead and spoil me. I'm level 42 and still haven't found the damn thing, getting close to overburdened carrying around unique items and rares that are too good to sell. Where the hell is this damned thing? FFS. There aren't many zones left for me to clear. Did you explore the path to the Sunwall...

So I just (finally) completed the Lost Ruins (Pre-1.0.2 EOR I got a bug that would kill any save I made there), and good lord, I think the writing of the telepathic messages there is some of my favourite lore in the whole game. Also interesting implications, with another elder race interested in ret...
