Addons

Ashes of Urh'Rok 1.5.0

Official Expansion!

Many in Maj'Eyal have heard of "demons", sadistic creatures who appear seemingly from nowhere, leaving a trail of suffering and destruction whereever they go. Their Fearscape floats far above the skies, watching and waiting, but not idly; their agents scout the land, their legions build up their forces, and their scholars develop new spells and strategies. As the barrier between our worlds begins to crack under their scrutiny, helpless Eyalites have begun to disappear, whisked up to serve as their slaves and playthings. They imbue these victims with magical powers to better survive the ensuing stresses - can you use your new-found abilities to escape the legions of Mal'Rok?

Features:

  • Start with a new class, the Doombringer! These avatars of demonic destruction charge into battle with massive two-handed weapons, cutting swaths of firey devastation through hordes of opponents. Armed with flame magic and demonic strength, they delight in fighting against overwhelming odds, softening up the crowd with waves of fire, then feeding on the flames and suffering of their surroundings to stay alive while quickly reducing any group to a pile of ash and gore.
  • Unlock a new class, the Demonologist, with an all-new item enhancement mechanic! Bearing a shield and the magic of the Spellblaze itself, these melee-fighting casters can grow demonic seeds from their fallen enemies. Imbue these seeds onto your items to gain a wide array of new talents and passive benefits, and summon the demons within them to fight on your side! Ever looked at a gigantic demon-cursed minotaur and wished it was on your side for once? Well, now you CAN summon one to pound your foes into paste while you cast devastating spells from afar, or call forth a squad of Fire Imps to pelt your enemies to death while they exhaust themselves on your impenetrable defenses! Demons have persistent health, making them a little more precious than disposable necromancer skeletons or summoner beasts, but can be revived from death nonetheless.
  • Two new zones, with all-new art, foes, and bosses! You've seen the plains of the Fearscape before, now see the lairs and headquarters of the demons themselves!
  • Over 10,000 words of written lore to find! The demons were once an enlightened, peaceful race, hailing from a distant planet known as Mal'Rok; learn what drove them to plot Eyal's eternal torture! Discover monuments to each of the demonic species and noteworthy individuals, showing the place of honor each has among them! Get a glimpse into the culture and daily lives of these sadistic invaders and their brainwashed thralls!
  • Unlock a new race, Doomelves: Shalore who've taken to the demonic alterations especially well, corrupting their typical abilities into a darker form. Blink away to safety, transform into a shadowy dúathedlen to hide in the shadows or prey on your foes with blasts of darkness, use your new resilience to soak up status effects and critical hits, and assault your enemies' minds to leave them unsteady in combat!
  • Between the aforementioned classes and Doomelves, a whopping 75 new talents!
  • Unlock two new cosmetic options! You know you've always wanted demon-horns.
  • Two new events, appearing anywhere in Eyal!
  • 20 new artifacts, with unique and interesting effects. Collect the Obsidian Treasures to amass more and more power! Slip your hands into the Will of Ul'Gruth and watch your sweeping blows smash down walls! Wear a giant hideous hell-mouth as a fashionable belt!
  • 7 new achievements! Conquer the worst Urh'Rok's forces can throw at you, and hang their metaphorical skulls from your profile page!

Forbidden Cults 1.5.9

Official Expansion!

Not all adventurers seek fortune, not all that defend the world have good deeds in mind.
Lately the number of sightings of horrors have grown tremendously. People wander off the beaten paths only to be found years later, horribly mutated and partly insane, if they are found at all. It is becoming evident something is stirring deep below Maj'Eyal.
That something is you.

Forbidden Cults is a big expansion for Tales of Maj'Eyal to let you explore the horrors that lurk beneath the surface, to delve in long lost knowledge and lore and as usual to die a lot!


Forbidden Cults makes two new classes available to play:

  • Writhing One: Give in to the corrupting forces and turn yourself gradually into an horror, summon horrors to do your bidding, shed your skin and melt your face to assault your foes. With your arm already turned into a tentacle, what creature can stop you?
  • Cultist of Entropy: Using its insanity and control of entropic forces to unravel the normal laws of physic this caster class can turn healing into attacks and call upon the forces of the void to reduce its foes to dust.

Both those classes use a new resource called Insanity that gradually makes you both more chaotic and powerful as it fills up.


Forbidden Cults makes two new races available to play:

  • Drem: A corrupt subrace of dwarves, that somehow managed to keep a shred of sanity to not fully devolve into mindless horrors. They can enter a frenzy and even learn to summon horrors.
  • Krog: Ogres transformed by the very thing that should kill them. Their powerful attacks can stun their foes and they are so strong they can dual wield any one handed weapons.


Forbidden Cults adds many new zones for you to explore and die in:

  • Kroshkkur: An ancient Sher'tul Fortress laying half in ruins that serves as a focal point, and home, for all kinds of creatures seeking lost knowledge.
  • The Maggot: A huge living corrupted worm about to destroy Kroshkkur! Teleport inside and save your sanctuary of horrors!
  • The Godfeaster: Deep undergroud the ground shakes as ... -- redacted by corrupt forces --
  • The Scourge Pits: On the south of the Iron Throne lays a fool pit of ... -- redacted by corrupt forces --
  • Forbidden Tomes: Find special artifact books of ancient lore. But, read at your own peril, for the story they tell may very well suck you in... quite literally.
    Maybe you will even find The One That Writes...
  • Occult Egress: A strange, extremely old, contraption of unknown origin. It seems to require some kind of code sequence to activate. Maybe you will find some during your adventures?
  • The Entropic Void: So you think you are strong? Powerful? Invulnerable? In the end, entropy always wins, as you will learn...


What would an expansion about horrors be without a bunch of new horrors to torment you with? Please give a warm welcome to:

  • Searing Horrors: You liked luminous horrors? You loved radiant horrors? You will absolutely adore their searing big brothers!
  • Nethergates: It sleeps. Maybe it should stay that way.
  • Netherworms: Vampiric worm masses that are bound to tickle your fancy! And tickle hard.
  • Fearful Symmetry: Geometry has never been so lively!
  • Entropic Shards: Take an entropic crystal, shatter it with tentacles. And die.
  • : And more ...


"DarkGod, is that all?" Obviously not! You will also find your usual addition of:

  • Lore: Delve into the dark forgotten secrets of the world, where sanity is a very tenuous idea.
  • Artifacts: Discover new objects of power and use them to further your own goals.
  • New wyrmic tree: Unlock the scourge drake for your wyrmics.
  • Glass Golem: Unlock the glass golem option for your alchemists.
  • Events: Discover new strange contraptions in familiar zones. What could go wrong?
  • Achievements: Because there can never be enough!

Possessor Bonus Class 1.5.4

Embers of Rage 1.5.0

Official Expansion!

One year has passed since the one the Orcs call the "Scourge from the West" came and single-handedly crushed the Orc Prides of Grushnak, Vor, Gorbat, and Rak'Shor.  The Allied Kingdoms, now linked by farportal to their distant, long-lost Sunwall allies, have helped them conquer most of Var'Eyal.  The few remnants of the ravaged Prides are caged...  but one Pride remains.  Kruk Pride, isolated on an island, is the last orcish settlement that stands; they, too, face their impending doom.  The Sunwall has blockaded the only exit point from the island, and now, the technologically advanced civilization of Steam Giants have come down from the mountains to take their homeland with machines and weaponry unlike anything else on Eyal.  Kruk Pride has reverse-engineered their technology before; their only hope is to do it again and rise up against the Pride's foes.
 

Features:

  • Explore a whole new campaign from level 1 to 50, one year after the events of the original Tales of Maj'Eyal campaign. Liberate the Orcs (or die trying) by rising up against the Sunwall, the Steam Giants of Atmos, and other dangers that may lie in wait...
  • Play as one of three new races: the battle-hardened Orcs, the brutal Yetis, and the unstoppable Whitehooves. Discover their stories, their pains, their hopes... and their awesome racial powers!
  • Risk your life in over 20 unique zones! Explore the ruins of a lost city, lay siege to the Sunwall forces at the Gates of Morning, and raid the Steam Giants' mining quarry - each has its own unique foes and hazards, leading each to feel and play different from the others.
  • Play as one of the four new tinker classes: Gunslingers, Sawbutchers, Psyshots and Annihilators! Plus a class evolution: Technomancers! Crush and rend your foes with heavy metal, electrocute and immolate them with your gadgets, charge across the battlefield or nimbly strafe in style - each plays differently, and none provide any shortage of ways to slay your foes.
  • Master steam technology to build powerful tinkers to augment your equipment. Need to close in a bit quicker? Turn your boots into rocket boots! Having a hard time deciding whether to shoot someone or stab them? Build a Hand Cannon into your gloves, or deploy a Weapon Automaton to do the stabbing for you! If you have a problem, steamtech has a solution, usually involving explosions; with over 80 different powerful contraptions to craft, enjoy unparalleled versatility and trying something different with every playthrough.
  • Master the tactical uses of over 140 talents! Fire bouncing trick-shots and psychic-infused shots, use your steamsaws as shields or wheels, terrify your foes with long mechanical arms - there are no "boring" talents here, everything has its own special applications and properties!
  • Use advanced technology in the world of Eyal! Burrow through sand, plant bombs to destroy tunnels, and discover that you aren't alone in using it...
  • Infusions and runes are for puny humans; implant new medical injectors to pump an array of experimental chemicals into your body! Injectors can use any (infinitely reusable) salve in your inventory as long as they're off their cooldown, giving you versatility you've wished you could get with a couple of inscriptions.
  • Loot over 70 new and powerful artifacts. Pump lead into foes with big guns, quick guns, and explosive guns! Shred them with saws that maim, saws that thirst for blood, and saws that aren't really saws! Violate common sense by strapping a rocket to your back and calling it a jetpack!
  • Enjoy dying in horrible and exotic ways at the hands (or claws, jaws, guns...) of over 140 new creatures! Not mere piles of stats and chain-stuns, these foes will provide unique challenges - suffer the Sunwall's newest cosmic spells, the new breeds of ritches that infest and multiply, the Steam Giants' elaborate defense systems, and find new strategies to adapt to each!
  • Earn a trunkload of achievements! Have your accomplishments recognized for liberating the Orcish people, displaying exceptional mercy or cruelty, or showing your prowess with impressive feats! Give a boss a fate worse than death, show Sunwall forces how frustrating it is to fight a Radiant Horror as a paladin, come out on top against impossible odds, display a suicidal lack of situational awareness, and wear a badge of pride or shame for each!
  • Read roughly 27,000 words of new lore to immerse yourself in the world! Learn how things have changed since the Scourge's campaign, feel hatred and/or pity for your foes, uncover grand schemes and sinister plots, and notice the elaborate connections between Var'Eyal's numerous factions. Every zone has a story behind it, and every story ties into a bigger picture; enjoy a tale of horror and humor, of intrigue and glory, of despair and hope.
  • Earn the right to use the classic (and Ashes of Urh'Rok) classes in Embers of Rage, and the new tinker classes in Maj'Eyal! Play a Brawler in the East to fulfill your life-long dream of suplexing an entire nation of giants, or play a Sawbutcher in Maj'Eyal to shred through Dreadfell in a whirlwind of sawblades and steam!
Embers of Rage 1.5.0

Mage Knight 1.5.5

Adds the Mage Knight metaclass, and its six sub-classes.

Forum discussion thread: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=48329

Phoenix Knight: Powerful warriors who blast their foes with solar fire while calling healing light upon their allies. Their solar fire attacks will strike as either fire or light damage, whichever will hit their target the hardest, and their potent healing and cleansing abilities make them tough opponents to bring down.

Mind Knight: Psionic warriors who strengthen their mental abilities by tapping into their inner magic. Adept at telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation, they are mobile scouts who can quickly get a lay of the land and sow chaos among their foes with physical and mental debilitations, or even outright compulsions.

Storm Knight: Swift skirmishers who rely on extreme mobility and powerful lightning magic to strike their foes down and avoid reprisals. Extremely fast and difficult to pin down, they can cast entire enemy units into disarray with their wealth of area attacks. All mage knights can cast while they fight, but experienced storm knights are also able to fight while they move.

Earth Knight: The heaviest of infantry, earth knights hammer their foes with physical and natural forces while shielding themselves with the power of the earth. Highly resilient in the face of any attack, earth knights provide a slow and steady offense supported by powerful gemstone shields and the endurance of a living mountain.

Sea Knight: Healers first, fighters second, battle mages a somewhat distant third, while sea knights lack the raw offensive power of other mage knights, they make up for it with amazing personal defense and recovery abilities. And though their attacks may be individually weak, like the sea itself, they are able to wear down even the strongest defenses eventually, eroding their opponents away with gradually strengthening spells, making them terrors in a battle of attrition.

Mana Knight: Experimenting pioneers who do amazing things with raw magical energy. They have the most conventional magical training of the mage knights, even if they sometimes put it to unconventional use. Their arcane attacks can overwhelm the powers of other spellcasters, and while they lack the scope of power of full-fledged archmages, they are masters of the fundamentals of the various arcane schools.

    Is: a spell
    Description: You charge a target with solar light. This instantly heals the target 138 health. Healing can crit. If this healing would bring the target's health above its maximum, any remaining healing is converted to Regeneration over five turns (if you are not already regenerating).

    Is: a spell
    Description: You give a piercing cry of challenge as phoenix wings flash from your back - and carry you into battle. If you wish, you can target an enemy in range 5 when using this talent, flying instantly into melee range with it. If you don't choose a target you will retain your current position. Regardless, all enemies in a radius of 3 will then start focusing their attacks on you, as your shriek challenges them to engage you directly. Opponents who are at a distance will be compelled by your challenge to move instantly into melee range with you. This power is not a teleportation effect, and thus cannot draw in immobile enemies.

    Once all such movements are complete, you make an immediate attack against up to 0 adjacent targets, dealing 26% normal damage. For each normal-rank opponent killed by this attack, your spirit is stoked and your foes demoralized; your current and maximum life increases by 1 for 0 turns. Lower or higher ranked enemies provide less or more life.

    This talent can be triggered through Eldritch Combat, though when it is you don't move.

    Description: You atttack all targets in an arc with your weapon or weapons doing 35% damage. If you hit, the target suffers a negative effect for 2 turns.

    With a two-handed weapon, the force of your blow knocks the weapon from the target's hands, disarming it.

    With a weapon and shield, you follow up with a powerful bash, stunning the target.

    With a single weapon (or unarmed), you execute a confounding series of martial maneuvers, confusing the target.

    With dual weapons, you execute a rapid series of maneuvers that leaves the target unable to keep up, slowing it by 50%.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Wave attack, when that spell is available.

    Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
    Description: You assault all targets around you for 35% weapon damage. Your attacks stoke your inner magic, providing you with a restorative effect based on the targets hit and your wielded weapon.

    If you are wielding dual weapons, you reduce the durations of up to 1 detrimental effects by one per target struck.

    If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, you recover 1 mana per target struck.

    If you are wielding a weapon and shield, you heal 10 life per target struck.

    If you are wielding a single weapon (or unarmed), you lower the cooldowns of up to 1 talents (other than this one) by one per odd-numbered target struck.

    As long as you hit at least one target, you gain the benefits of hitting 0 additional targets, to a maximum of 10 effective targets.

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Burst attack, when that spell is available.

    Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
    Description: You lash out with a pair of attacks for 35% damage. If both attacks hit, you gain a defensive effect with a value of 0 for 3 turns.

    If you wield dual weapons, you shift fluidly from offense to defense, your whirling weapons creating a damage shield.

    If you wield a two-handed weapon, you fly into a berserk fury, and refusing to die until your life falls the above value below 0.

    If you wield a weapon and shield, you initiate a block using the talent's value rather than your shield's and affecting all damage types. However, the block only lasts for one round as normal, not for this talent's duration.

    If you wield a single weapon (or are unarmed), you come fully on guard, increasing your current and maximum life (temporary life is lost first).

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Blast attack, when that spell is available.

    Range: melee/personal
    Cooldown: 0
    Travel Speed: instantaneous
    Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
    Description: You channel magical energy through your weapons while this talent is sustained, adding 17 damage to all attacks of the energy type appropriate to your mage knight offensive spells. This number varies based on fighting style used (note that it already includes any modifiers for your current weapon!) and scales with Spellpower.

    In addition, your first successful melee attack each turn grants a 25% chance (based on your current weapon) to trigger one of various Mage Knight talents instead of dealing the bonus Arcane damage. This quarters the cooldown of the talent, and can only happen once per turn. Talents triggered in this way do not cost Stamina; other resource costs still apply. Triggered talents are determined randomly, but with prioritization based on how useful they are in the moment (spells that restore life are more likely to trigger when low on life, spells that provide buffs are more likely to trigger when you aren't heavily buffed, etc). Spells of higher talent level are generally prioritized over those of lower level.

    If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, passive damage is doubled, and triggered talents have their power increased by 50%.

    If you are using a shield, passive damage is increased by 50%. Trigger chance is increased by 20% and passive damage further doubled against foes with the Counterstrike effect. A triggered talent is also followed up with a shield bash, while an attack that fails to trigger Eldritch Combat has an equal chance of instead triggering the Block talent. Defensive talents have priority increased while wielding a shield.

    If you are using two weapons, they may both be one-handed weapons. Each weapon deals passive damage and your first successful melee attack each turn checks twice to see if it triggers a talent.

    If you are using a single one-handed weapon (or unarmed), passive damage is increased by 50%, the base chance of triggering a talent increases by 15%, and if a talent triggers, it might take effect twice (using half the original trigger chance). The second trigger won't cost any further resources.

    Mage Knights generally favor martial weapons, but they are capable with simpler weapons as well. Each dagger wielded provides a 1% attack speed bonus per eight points of Dexterity. Fighting entirely unarmed provides a flat 20% attack speed bonus.

    Staves are designed for more normal spellcasting styles, so mage knights require more effort to channel their powers through them. Resultantly, Eldritch Combat (and other procs off of it) only receives 1/5 the normal staff accuracy bonus.
    Eldritch Combat
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: While active, your magical powers bolster your physical capabilities. You substitute Magic for Strength and Dexterity for purposes of weapon damage and equipment requirements, as well as for the Strength and Dexterity requirements of the Armor Mastery talents. Of course, if you have the physical aptitude to wield the weapon normally, that still helps to some degree; you add 10% of the normal Strength or Dexterity damage modifiers into your weapons as well; weapons that can use both Strength and Dexterity will convert the Strength modifier to a Dexterity modifier as well if your Dexterity is higher than your Strength. Your ability to augment your melee skills with magic works regardless of the weapon you wield; you get a 22% bonus damage with all melee weapons, including unarmed strikes. This doesn't stack with other mastery talents, and unlike most mastery talents does not include a physical power bonus (although see the Eldritch Aura talent).

    In addition, your ability to magically reinforce your body allows you to mitigate overwhelming forces, although this takes a lot of effort and your strength will fade rapidly when you do it, possibly even to the point of death. You reduce all damage received from other characters by potentially as much as 30%. However, the actual reduction is multiplied by both the percentage of your current effective life over your maximum effective life (which includes damage shields and negative life threshold), and the percentage of the damage over your current effective life. So this protects you best when you are at high health and facing high incoming damage - lesser attacks aren't worth the effort to mitigate, and as your strength fails so does your ability to exert that sort of effort. The calculation accumulates damage over the course of one turn, so multiple attacks all coming in the same turn will be reduced according to their combined total compared to your initial life. If the final percent reduction is below 20%, no reduction will occur at all.

    All damage mitigated by this effect is then returned as irresistible damage over the next 5 turns as your strength fades.

Regeneration scales with Willpower, while powers and saves scale with Magic. Mind Knights increase Mind Power and Mind Saves rather than Spell Power and Spell Saves.

    Your Eldritch Aura also sheds substantial light, increasing your light radius by 2, to a maximum of 10.

    At raw talent level 2, you also boost your Physical Resistance.

    At raw talent level 3, you also boost your Physical Critical Chance.

    At raw talent level 4, you also boost your Spell and Mind Critical Chance.

    At raw talent level 5, you also boost your Critical Multiplier.

    Using this talent will lower your current stamina by at least 20. All stamina spent on this talent will be converted to a proportionate amount of mana and psi. If your stamina (after the cost of this talent) is higher than your mana or psi, additional stamina will be spent equal to half the proportionate difference (so if you have 80% stamina and 40% mana, you'd spend an additional 20% of your max stamina). You can't spend more than 30 stamina fueling this spell (scaling with Willpower and maximum stamina). Your mana and psi regeneration rates improve by 0% of the total restored for this talent's duration, scaling with Willpower.

    This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat, but still expends stamina normally when doing so.

Type: chest / sher'tul

When carried:
It can be used to transmogrify all the items in your chest at once (also done automatically when you change level), costing 0 power out of 1000/1000.

This chest is an extension of old Sher'tul places of power. Any items dropped inside are transported to an other place, processed and destroyed to extract energy.
The byproduct of this effect is the creation of gold, which is useless to process, so it is sent back to you.

When you possess the chest all items you walk upon will automatically be put inside and transmogrified when you leave the level.
Simply go to your inventory to move them out of the chest if you wish to keep them.
Items in the chest will not encumber you.
