ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Ok so possessor was really fun to play (mostly since it's absurdly overpowered haha), i only started using possession around Reknor but it just completely annihilated any difficulty since being able to pick and choose from randboss skills is huge. Ran afoul of solipsism threshold a lot and experienced several bugs that kind of threw this character's viability into the trash (losing global speed, no free cornac points..) but it still won easily and did the usual suicide to Lina out of boredom.

Ask me anything about Possessors, i don't think that my build is optimal but it worked even on Insane and it's a very confusing class to learn.

How useful was Ominous Form in the Deep Horror skillset? I'm in the early levels with my first attempt with the class and I'm having trouble deciding between that and the potential to get multiple copies of a boss to play with. The part about it that seems most interesting is having my life tied to the enemy. Does that mean damage dealt to you also hurts them, or does it only work if they get hit? Also, was the short duration much of a hindrance at all?

In addition to my other question (it hasn't shown up yet for me to edit), how did you deal with Solipism as you progressed? I'm having a hard time generating enough psi to counteract the damage I take, meaning I quickly run out of steam and find myself slowed heavily with no way to get back into fighting shape.

Which races did you choose to be able to possess, and why?

elemental and vermin for sandworms and xorns respectively and basically nothing else(permanent burrowing is stupid), and vermin would also be for the sludgenest in post game but i died to lina haha
undead, dragon, demon, horror should be more obvious, if you don't learn undead you're kind of screwed in Dreadfell and even a base dreadmaster is really good, dragon bodies suck but they're fairly common, and demon/horror are both good and likely to appear in lategame

I am very much interested too, was even thinking to leave just a single point in Solipism to avoid having my psi drastically reduced at every hit received, however i am not sure how psi replenishment would work with such build.

Also, could someone explain me how SELF PERSISTENCE, IMPROVED FORM and BALANCE works?
