ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I just unlocked corrupted shell by repeatedly casting soul rot on myself. Running out of vim didn't even matter since I just used blood casting.

Even if you were to change it so that self-inflicted blight damage didn't cut it, you can achieve the same level of scumming by having an elven blood mage repeatedly hit you (easily handled at higher levels).

Change the prodigy to require the destruction of Zigur; having done at least 50,000 blight damage; and possession of at least one corruption skill. That means everyone can still get the prodigy (since they could use the Hex reward from Zigur to get the skill requirement), but it would still be easier for Reavers and Corruptors to do it.

The req has already been knocked from 50k to 15k in trunk.

That's a start. If it's still a problem after that, it'd be worth looking at again.

Is there any way to tell how far a given character is? I am curious how much blight some of my characters have taken.
