When viewing the quest, displays details about the various rewards you are working towards.

Example: "Agrimley the hermit needs your help making an Elixir of Explosive Force, which permanently increase your chance to critically strike with spells by 4%. He has given you some notes on the ingredients: ..."

Constitution boosts max stamina as well as marginally improving stamina and life regen rate (2/turn when Con = 100)

Also Quick Recovery is boosted* to gain 0.75 per stat point rather than 0.5.

• : For the developers, this is how you "overwrite" an existing talent.

v2.1.0 *** FOR ToME v1.2.4 ONLY ***
Determines how auto-explore and running respond to telepathy, including mouse moves. Regardless of the setting, hostiles seen via telepathy will not halt resting or the Rod of Recall, nor trigger automated talents. Unique or powerful monsters (rank > 3) will always trigger a halt to running when they are spotted via telepathy for any mode except 'Original'.

Available modes:
• 'Always Viligant' always stops running when a hostile creature is seen via telepathy.
• 'First Sighting' stops running when a hostile creature is sighted via telepathy for the first time. The creature will then be ignored by auto-explore until spotted by actual sight, which will trigger a halt as normal.
• 'Reset on Rest' is the same as First Sighting, but resting will forget all creatures spotted via telepathy so that they will trigger a stop again.
• 'Original' is standard ToME auto-explore behavior, which ignores telepathy when running or auto-exploring.

Also utilizes C. Lowe/CaptainTrip's 'Rest Tweaks' addon code and updates it to 1.1.5.
• Checks for and waits on any rechargeable items.
• Checks for and reloads any ammo in offhand quiver.
• Waits for cooldowns of talents set to auto-use.
• Waits for depleted air to replenish.
• Combines all checks into a single instance of rest, rather than having cooldowns etc. require a second resting phase.

Additional features:
• Fixes a ToME bug that can cause autoexplore or running to move only a single square and hang if used immediately after killing an enemy.
• Lore discovery will only stop autoexplore if it triggers a popup.
• Autoexplore will ignore Exploratory/Infinite Farportal return portals until the entire level has been explored.
• Ignores special terrain features such as Font of Healing after they are first discovered.
• Ignores open chests and alt Maze floor cracks.
• Rest and AE ask for confirmation if you have an escort in your party.
• Ignore already activated pedestals.

+ Compatible with ToME v1.2.4

Notes:
• Telepathy will not prevent auto-exploring the way normal sight will. If a halt is triggered by telepathy, hitting auto-explore again will move you at least one more square in the direction of the auto-explore path. If in 'Always Viligant' mode and a hostile is within telepathic sight (but not normal sight), you will auto-explore in 1 square per keypress increments.
• 'First Sighting' and 'Reset on Rest' modes are intended to keep auto-explore a fast process. If you spot an enemy you wouldn't mind bumping into around a corner, you can just hit auto-explore again and that enemy will be ignored until seen by normal sight. 'Reset on Rest' can be handy if you spot a type of enemy you want to be cautious around or a packed room. You can move away, rest, then explore the rest of the level without worrying about running into the middle of that room.

Allows characters to respec anywhere in game, not just in towns. This is a direct reversion of the change made in 1.2.3 to the way it was in 1.2.2 and before.

This addon allows players to adjust the amount of exp they gain per kill via Game Options.

The current allowable range is 0% - 1000%, with 100% being the default rate. The range can be expanded if there's demand for it.

The adjustment rate will be set to the default of 100% for each new character made, and once set will remain persistent for that specific character.

Also, the level cap on gaining exp from lower leveled opponents has been removed for increased flexibility.

Please let me know if there are any issues.

Adds generalist classes, which gain all talent trees within a meta-class.

Allows you to choose one faction ally for the final battle, for added variety.

Tweaks the auto use options for talents.
Adds a bunch of options merged from the great but lacking Safer Automatic Talents by Phoenix1 and useful but limited-option Extended Auto-Use by DeathBySnooSnoo. UPDATE: As well as some work by tsedaka and auto-accept-spell-target by Stuntofthelitter.

Default hotkeys:

• Toggle auto-accept-target ALT+F1
• Toggle auto-use on/off CTRL+P (or ALT+SHIFT+P for a separate additional disable)
• Change auto-use-custom-priority ALT+SHIFT+O
• Toggle auto-use-custom-priority ALT+SHIFT+X

It has 106 options currently, to cover most situations.

Bind multiple to left click [don't forget alt+shift+o for this]
Available
While Resting
Status effects (phys/mag/mind)
Enemy Visibility
Player Life %
In talent range
Enemy within 2 tiles
Enemy Adjacent
Non-elite mobs
Enemy can attack you this turn
No-enemy-within-2-tiles for rush type spells or general safety for ranged

Talents requiring an enemy will not auto-use if under 50%mana or 25%vim or 25%stam.

Changelog (cause comment system's busted):
2/6/2018
Added more left click options, everything available previously but only when left clicking (minus a few pointless) (scroll down to the bottom one before hotkeys for a good RUSH [has minimum range] one
"you left click" will try to move in range before triggering the spell without continuing to check more spells
"you left click and are in range" will check other spells before deciding to move towards the target

2/5/2018
Replaced the 'bind to left click' feature with one involving auto use.. can set multiple spells to left click on an enemy and it will use with normal priority. Can customize order with alt+shift+o as per usual. One spellcast per click, top priority first, will move towards target with normal pathfinding if out of range of top priority spell.

This add-on updates the staff combat trainer in Angolwen and the mindstar mastery trainer in Zigur to work with unlocked categories from escorts without penalizing the player, adjusts training costs, and provides an enhanced training option.

At these trainers you can
reveal the talent category for 100 gold
unlock the talent category for 500 gold
improve talent category mastery by 0.2 for 750 gold (up to a maximum of 1.3)

If you have revealed the talent category from an escort and unlock it with the trainer, the mastery will be improved to 1.1, and can be enhanced further to 1.3.

It overloads the files mod.data.chats.angolwen-staves-store.lua and mod.data.chats.zigur-mindstar-store.lua

INFO: This mod is *defunct*. Dead and buried. Been for years now.
Hope you had fun using it while it worked.

Edit: Actually... I might remake it shortly. Make it stronger, faster and so on. If you've got any suggestions, fire away in the comment section.

---

To be honest, I've been hoping something similar would make it into the main game but it never did. Which I will forever be miffed by :).

There are alternatives (for both, the alchemist part and the escort part), check the comments, search the addons.

I keep it here for those few who might want to play an older version of the game or for coding reference.

--- Old description:

A few things to make rng less random with regards to character build (because I really, really dislike it when a build is subject to randomness).

This includes and is limited to:
- no alchemist poaching,
- choose your own escort types.

It does make the game easier. Not in a significant way but use at risk to your own pride.

Formerly "known" as Succor and easement.

Adds a new game menu option "Show known Landmarks", which presents a list of landmarks (up/down stairs, golden chests, zone entrances and the like) that you've seen on the current level and allows you to go to them or view them on the map.  You can also set your own landmarks for later reference by right-clicking on the map and choosing "Set landmark".

Also available as part of the ZOmnibus Addon Pack and ZOmnibus Lite.

Player's targetting improvements.
- The initial target for the talents of beam, ball and cone types is chosen to cover as many enemies as possible.
- Visible enemies are marked with colored numbers.
- Red color for NPCs that should be able to attack you if you make an action, green for those that will not, orange for those that will not only able to attack if you move (both participants speed, energy and availability of ranged talents are considered).
- The numbers represent the mobs' relative 'power', they can be used in target selection mode.

In another reality much like Maj'Eyal's... there are no talents that are one-point wonders. Basically, this mod tries to buff talents in such a way that they're worth investing multiple points into. (Or for that matter, worth using at all.) Changes are tailored to my preferences and play style (I play on normal or nightmare), but I welcome feedback & opinions.

Changelist:
v2.3
Shield Defense
Repulsion - has been heavily reworked. The knockback has been greatly reduced, and it now does some minor damage. This gives it two new applications: 1) when surrounded, block, then counterstrike the group with Repulsion, and 2) the damage, while low, allows for the application of "on hit" effects from items. All other details (daze, cooldown, etc) have been left unchanged.

Warcries
Battle Shout - has zero stamina cost, and a more informative description.

v2.2
Halfling
Luck of the Little Folk - lasts 4 + talent level turns
Indomitable - has a duration of 2 * talent level

Ambush
Shadow Leash - now also pins for 2 turns, and has lower resource costs.

Shadow Magic
Shadow Combat - got a minor boost to damage (about 5%), linked to spellpower

Conveyance
Teleport - does not take a turn (undirected teleports are now slightly less suicidal, and more tactical)

Inscriptions
Phase Door and Teleport do not take a turn. Controlled phase door (which is safer, and requires aim) still does.

v2.1
Corruption / Torment
Overkill - starts off weaker, ends up stronger. A typical range in vanilla is about 43-73% dmg (with equipment), the new range is about 33-96%.

v2.0
Shalore
Grace of the Eternals - has a duration of 7 + talent level

Dwarf
Stone Walking - clarified description (talent unchanged)

Sanguisuge
Absorb Life - casts instantly

Vim
Vimsense - casts instantly, but maximum resistance reduction is slightly lower. Same average DPS at level 5, but now also useful at level 1. (In vanilla, it usually *lowers* DPS at level 1!)

Scourge
Ruin - vim sustain cost reduced to 20

v1.0

Yeek
Dominant Will - gains +1 range per talent level after the first
Wayist - summons (talent level + 1) mindslayer allies

Thalore
Nature's Pride - cools down faster with more talent levels

Harmony
Waters of Life - now has +2 turns duration per talent level
Healing Nexus - has a duration of 2 + (talent level * 2)

This addon will conflict with other addons that change talents from the same trees, or with any addon that changes racial talents.

Improves the "Press <control> to compare" functionality for objects.  New features:

• When pressing <control>, a note at the top of the text will tell you which object in your equipment is being compared against the current item.
• While holding <control>, tapping <shift> will cycle through the objects in your equipment that the current item can be compared to.  Useful when wearing two rings, dual-wielding, or using the second weapon set.
• (new in v3) Runes and inscriptions in your inventory or store inventories can be compared via <control> to corresponding inscriptions on your body.

Also available as part of the ZOmnibus Addon Pack and ZOmnibus Lite.
