ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Would be more convenient than having to start a character or go on the wiki.

second this
i created a character today just to watch the range of fearscape spell -_-

The wiki would be a better option, as far as effort required by the player and the dev.

except the wiki doesn't even have full details about spells, i tried to check the wiki first, it didn't have the range of fearscape
also what about addon classes who aren't even on the wiki

Its a wiki, anyone can add the data.

the problem is that those who look for data and those who add data are different people

Why?

This is not realisticaly possible I'm afraid, the main menu is an entirely different module, it doesn't have access to this data at all.
It could load the tome module in a subinstance but it would incur a huge hit on loading time for very little gain

My guess is that he means the Birther.lua screen of the module, as that's where you choose race and class.

I was just mulling this over before I hopped on. I haven't checked the feasibility, but the scenario I imagined was to have a "View Talents" button that becomes enabled when both a race and class are selected. When clicked, it would spawn a temporary actor and call the LevelUpDialog to display the talents. I'd have to look to see if there's a "game" yet to spawn the actor into though.

Ahh yes this is possible indeed, and yes game does exist there, just need to be careful to make sure that no actual changes can be made

Cool beans. I'll take a closer look.

But then you get the information the long way and can write it on the wiki.
