ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

grrr....

I foolishly open coffins (greed overcame caution) and I have been cursed. Is there anyway to remove these "abilities" or do I now have to play this character as a cursed being? I have been hitting town after town searching for a scroll or something to remove the curse, but I don't want to waste anymore time doing this if it is not possible....

thanks

nope, tis yours for life
but not to worry, a small investment for any melee char gives a very nice return
good luck

So, the cursed equipment...

Well it can be quite fantastic. Can I recommend curse of shrouds? I'd like to recommend curse of shrouds. With a lvl five curse, which does mean at least a 9 point talent commitment you get...

20% resist all for 1 turn after moving, or 3 turns after killing.
+20% resist dark and max resist dark, plus some see invis,
and last but not least, +10 con.

Nightmares is handy too at lvl 4, but lackluster beforehand. I haven't had much experience with the other flavors yet, and haven't used them as a frontliner.

Now the other stuff.

Ruined Ground I haven't toyed with much. I'd love to hear if someone else has a love or anything for the ability, because I'm just not seeing it. Then again I've been playing doomed too, and this could be more useful on the frontline for a breather.

Now, Cursed Sentry however...
Frankly even if I were tight on generic points I'd toss in 1/1/1/3 just to get this at level 3. Give it your leftover weapons, or whatever. That sucker plugs a corridor like no other, and packs a punch. Well worth the cost, and definitely reminiscent of the old floating dark sword enemies.

Also potential bug- it's easy to fuel cursed sentry FROM the transmogrification chest, which is useful.
