ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Never actually saw teh archer, but he hit me with something and from that point on, I was immobilized. Strangely, didn't kill me, but as I couldn't move from then on I kind of wished it had.

Here's where I'd imagine the relevant code began:

Kind of a silly question, but did you try waiting a turn or two instead of trying to move? If the save is still active, pull it up and hit 5 a couple times. The pinning thing is a little counter-intuitive that way; trying to move in some direction doesn't seem to pass time while you're pinned (and produces no message to that effect, iirc), but waiting causes time to pass normally.

Yeah... I think pinned allows you still to quaff potions and possibly read scrolls. (It's like being encumbered I think)

So any non-movement way to spend time will get the pin duration to pass. Not sure about casting spells or using skills.

Yes just hit 5 a few times to pass time, or rest or use spells or whatever.
I could make attemps to move consume a turn but I thought it'd be punishing in a combat scenario ?

that could be made an option then maybe (from a menu)

I am really trying to avoid having a little option for everything, it is quite counter intuitive IMHO, it's betetr to just find a good system

true... hmmm, a config file could do it, that way you dont have to worry about all the options in the menu, just edit that file.

but yeah, a general solution is better than a complex menu system in most cases.

One odd thing (and I'm not annoyed that I don't have the savefile anymore) is that I think turns were passing because I would occasionally be shot at by the archer (though not as frequently as I'd expect,) so I think time was passing at the time.

Another thought, in these sorts of situations, wouldn't it make some sense that trying to move would consume time?

Still, advice taken. I'll try resting or something in the meantime next time this happens and see if that works. If not, in the words of a fictional time-traveler turned governor, I'll be back.

I agree. It'd be better to have a consistent rule. Too many toggles makes the game confusing.
