ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Yes they do. I found a sword of life very early in the game and thought that the "add to life" flag was thus solved, but had to find out that apparently the flag is a different one when modifying an armor instead of a weapon, since I didnt get the option to add it. The game was reluctant t...

Maybe, but it makes no sense. If the property "lightning immunity" (adding of which would require 50 alchemy skill) is the cause, why does it let me modify the artifact in the first place, but prevents raising of pval, which doesnt affect the immunity at all. Other weird behaviour: Trying ...

Does anyone know what exactly prevents me from raising the shields pval ?

Congratulations! :) I've finally won the ultimate ending. and I have no real desire to do it again. I know the feeling. But, spellcasters have a much easier time doing it (and thus, less bragging rights). It seems to be a phenomenon of all rogue-likes - the beginning is great fun, but the further th...

A vampiric weapon is a great target for a scroll of craftsmanship. Is that so ? I was assuming that reading craftsmanship on a vampiric sword (-20%) would turn it into (-40%) - that is, increasing the absolute value - but if it turns it into (+0%), thats great of course. So then, my choice for best...

Well on second thought, I think reading a ?oCraftsmanship on a vampiric sword of life (+0) might make it (+20%). Items in ToME are only allowed one pval; so if such a sword gets rolled, the game probably finds the pval by addition in the case of vampiric/life and by disregarding the negative value f...

It had cancelled itself out so the life gain/loss was at 0%.

Hmmm what happens if you read a scroll of craftsmanship on that,does it still cancel out ? I guess it will.

Very interesting, thanks for digging that up. Is a vampiric demonblade of life possible ? I think ive never seen that affix combo on any weapon yet, been wondering if it is mutually exclusive. The best bet, if someone really wants to use a demonblade, is probably either to go with the trueart (-20 l...

You think so? I consider it to be rather a handicap; in the early game, a dagger (or main gauche ... ) is usually better.

Longsword of the Dawn is one of the big weapons in the game. While it is rather useless when you find it early, its one of the prime bosskillers out there if it doesnt pick up something very nasty on levelling. More damage than Thancs and even Sting, more pleasant to level up than Mormegil, none of ...

So Im playing a Swordmaster, 98 quests, level 31 princess abductor Kavlax drops Ringil! Joy, I immediately make a dump - game crashes

Restarting game, the game made a save before the crash :relief:

Hell yes, of course Id play. ToME is my favourite variant by a long margin - I like the skill system very much and the many different ways you can play (500hp sorceror who can do (almost) everything, possessor in different bodies or summoner hanging out with a bunch of friendly Ds come to mind, and ...

By all means, give the bones more mana! The lich is one of my favourite monster concepts, but there is no good way to make a lich-like character (vampire ? bah, lowly servants of the mighty lich!; zombie ? you must be kidding!; spectre comes closer but clearly skeleton would be the sub-race of choic...

Like Zombie Yeek I have been there, failed to figure out what to do but rather than retiring I fought to the end when my healing potions ran out.

I found a level in the void where I couldn´t go down anymore, but when trying, it told me to do something. I figured I had to kill someone here, but didnt find anything special. I left and returned for a few times, but nothing. Eventually I ran out of healing resources and died. Have I missed some i...
