ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Just what it sounds like; an addon where you get to pick a second class

I want there to be an addon where upon creating your character normally, you get a popup that provides the list of classes; from there you get to pick the second class you want and you also become that class

you then gain all of the second class' starting class/generic points(for example adventurers start with 5 class and 3 generics), 3 stat points, compulsory starting talents(unnatural body, solipsism, etc.), life rating(possibly making it 0 or even -1 if you're a yeek), and stat bonuses, and out of the base life values of both of your classes, only the larger one is used, and as well overlapping categories would recieve a .3 boost, further increasable with an additional category point

your character would also get 2 extra stat points at every level after 1(to max 5 stats at 50), an extra category point at level 10 and 20, and twice as many class and generic points per level after 1
of course there would also be some restrictions, no wilder classes for undead, no magic classes for oozemancers, oozemancers cant pick magic classes, only dwarves can get stone warden, and you can't pick the same class twice

you could be a solipsist oozemancer(might just turn out to be an oozemancer with solipsism and mind sear or solipsist with wild-gift/ooze and slime roots)
a doombringer arcane blade(if you got ashes)
an archer skirmisher
a shadowblade marauder
a reaver arcane blade
a sun paladin mindslayer
a bulwark stone warden(if you donated and are a dwarf)
or even an adventurer with just about anything else for extra class/generic points and categories

and thats not all!

additionally, all enemies(except in caldera dreams and whatnot) would be randbosses or uniques as per the old EVERYTHING IS UNIQUE mod, except without the option to make less than all of them unique, and on top of that all non-random bosses and uniques have an extra class assigned to them as per insane/madness difficulty(and a second one on insane/madness), and sludgenest bosses/randbosses would have a third class!

I'd play this, but gods know I couldn't code it.

... adventurer adventurer combo?

He does state you're not allowed to pick the same class twice for that very reason.

Knowing my timeframe, it'll be done in 20 months, but I'll see if I can make a version of Randboss Rando for you that allows this zeyphor.

Edit to ask a question;

Would you be fine with instead of it being done on character creation, its activated in the Game Options menu? As in, theres a tab where you set all the variables to what you want (all enemies will still be randbosses, though, no changing that), and a button at the top which askes 'yes or no' to starting it.

really? 20 months?
wouldn't the whole mod just change a few numbers, and connect a few things?
i am not modder myself so i don't know how much code it require to do one of the things, but overall there doesn't seem that many thing to be done, and the less things the less code total.

Oh, there isn't much, for sure. I just never recovered from coding burn-out a while back, and as a result, I tend to code just about everything slower.

ah, in that case i wish you fast recovery.
THEN BACK TO CODING SLAVE!

yeah that works, as long as you can have 2 classes at once at level 1

that might not be as good as adventurer+something else, since that way you get a bunch of cateogries unlocked without spending category points on em
you couldn't pick the same class twice anyway in the addon

also, thank you for making this addon, Starkeep
