ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I took the superpower prodigy and gained only 7 willpower. I'm guessing superpower only gives you 50% of your *base* str score and not your *modified* str score?

Sad if so ... very ... sad

I do not think so. Probably the problem is that mindpower (as well as other power) are computed in tier.
If you mindpower is between 0 and 20, the gain (for instance from an item) is directly added. If your mindpower is tier 2, between 20 and 40, the actual gain is halfed. Between 40 and 60, it is one third, etc.
So, if your mindpower was over 60, and your strength 56 the gain will be 50% * 1/4 * 56 = 7

Oh...I was not aware that this is how it worked at all!

Thank you, and yes, my will was already maxxed, trying to get more mindpower for my summons >.<

You should go do the advanced tutorial instead of jumping straight into maj 'eyal!

It's under make a new character, in the upper right under your portrait. It'll teach you 'lots about saves and spellpower and such.
