Note for Developers: This addon superwrites Player:act(), so if your addon also touches Player:act() change the load order so that the Player AI addon loads last.

Vor'tep 1.5.10

Adds the Vor'tep as a new Giant sub-race, a breed of altered trolls. Get it right here or on the Steam Workshop.

Vor'tep have a life rating of 13 and an experience penalty of 15% and start with +3STR, +3WIL, +3CON,+3MAG, -2DEX, and -2CUN.

Vor'tep posses the strength and will to wield any one-handed weapon in their offhand innately.

Vor'tep have the following racial talents:

Trollkin Fortitude
For 5 turns, each magical, physical, or mental detrimental effect applied to you by an enemy will have the duration preemptively reduced by X turns or 50% (rounded up), whichever is greater. If this reduces the duration to 0 or less the effect is completely negated. The power of the effect improves with Constitution.

Trollblood
Passively increases life regen by X and healing modifier by Y%.
Scales only on talent level.

Blood Rush
Sustaining this talent will cause talents to cooldown by one turn at the begining of each turn. This will occur regardless of stuns or other effects that would normally reduce or prevent cooldowns. This will not effect talents with a fixed cooldown.
CAUTION:
This will cause you to take X% of your maximum life as irresistible damage on the first turn, increasing each subsequent turn. Each turn the damage dealt will be 15% greater than the turn before. If your life is below 20% of your maximum at the start of a turn, the sustain will automatically deactivate.
The damage of the effect is reduced by Willpower.

Internal Inscription
You are able to internalize a rune or infusion of your choice. Once chosen, the inscription will be triggered instantly when you are below 15% of your maximum life. This has a cooldown and is the only way to activate the inscription.
Cooldown decreases significantly with talent level and is based only on this talent (the original cooldown of the inscription is completely disregarded).

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.

      Improved Auto-explore and Rest 1.5.5

      Quality of Life improvements for resting and auto-exploring.

      v3.5.0 *** FOR ToME v1.6.5 ***
      This is a fork (with permission) of Marson's auto-explore and rest tweaks. It includes as well C.Lowe/CaptainTrip's improvements as well. It does not include, but recommends also using Johnny0's Faster RRE add-on for even better rest and auto-explore experience. This add-on contains numerous Quality of Life improvements designed to make resting and auto-exploring easier to use, brings the add-on overall up to being compatible with 1.6.x, and generally seeks to remove it being more optimal to do timed rests or manual recovery (particularly to help higher difficulty level and players without Faster RRE). Cleaned up feature list in this take, to make it easier to see what it does.

      It is recommended to turn off Marson's Rest and Auto-Explore as well as C.Lowe's Rest Tweaks if using. This addon is meant to include all of them.

      Latest Update Notes:
      • Changed steam sustain behavior to match current gameplay. Before sustains tended to shut off when available resource was 0, now they don't seem to do so. This will now only turn off sustains that drain steam if steam is going below 0, so as to get to a steady finish state.
      • Fix minor bug where stealth enabling was always on if you had it.
      • Added new option to ignore quest members when resting or exploring. It defaults to off but for those folks that know they want to ignore those quest allies and rest a bit.

      Existing Features:
      • removed First Sighting and Reset on Rest. Someone can patch them in if they'd like it back, but I'm not really keeping them alive.
      • Fixed actor bugs causing Elemental Surge to never reset. Thanks Reca♥den.
      • Fixed bug with Paradox Spacetime Tuning from 1.5.5. This may rebreak posessors with paradox, hard to kinda test.
      • Mostly verified working on 1.6.0
      • Compatibility with restart sustains. Thanks zizzo.
      • When resting, it will check for infusions and runes that could be used to accelerate HP, Mana, or Equilibrium (via Ancestral Life or Meditation) recovery. If the acceleration appears significant, it will use them, rotating from first available infusion or rune outward. In experiment, I found this often reduced rest turn time by 50-80 percent, improving the more drained the resource was. Particularly helpful for Mana, as it avoids trade-off advantages of short term resting (for increased mana regen) + rune use by just handling that more optimal play for you automatically without breaking rest.
      • Support for steam implants, with usual checkboxes. This may not always be faster based on steam sustains that may disable after the initial round of rest and steam implants having very long cooldowns (30+ turns) and steam's resource max being pretty small. It tries to be conservative on that, so will most likely help for cases where your functional steam regen rate is < 2.00 and never activate for things much above it. I found I was often getting 5-20 steam per turn, which makes the implant support useless.
      • Supports for medical healing salve injectors. Cooldown measurements are a bit odd here, since they can range from 5-20 depending on injector. Went with 10 as a happy medium for how many turns of natural regen is considered to be equal to the cooldown cost of using it.
      • Adding support to auto-stealth if available and not stealthed.
      • Option for ignoring small damage when moving and resting, basically if it is <5%, it will ignore it by default, prevent small DoTs from preventing rest.
      • Options added to control whether or not to use inscriptions to accelerate recovery of things.
      • 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.
      • 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.

      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.
      • 'Original' is standard ToME auto-explore behavior, which ignores telepathy when running or auto-exploring.

      • Compatible with ToME v1.6.0

      • 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.

        Description: You may push the boundaries of magic, but you make sure to do so safely. Your various arcane safeguards provide you with 29% Arcane, Temporal, and Blight resistance, and 12% Arcane, Temporal, and Blight resistance caps. Further, your control of magic enables you to potentially cast spells with will alone, translating into a 14% resistance to silence effects. Resistances scale with Willpower. However, your experimental approach to magic causes some disruption to the natural world, which returns the favor when it gets the chance. Your Nature Resistance and cap is reduced by 8%.

        The Aether Permeation talent interacts with your safeguards...differently. If you know that talent, this talent only provides a quarter the normal Arcane resistance. But the other three quarters become Arcane affinity.

        Description: You've begun conducting experiments into the flow of time. What could go wrong? Each turn, while enemies are in sight, you have a 6% chance to gain 1 "moments". The effects of your moments are randomly determined. At raw talent level 1, your moments can be converted into one free move each (this will not occur if you already have free movements). At raw talent level 2, each odd-numbered moment can conserve one turn of duration for a random beneficial effect. At raw talent level 3, each moment can reduce the duration of a random detrimental effect by one turn. At raw talent level 4, each moment can lower the cooldown of a random talent by one turn. At raw talent level 5, each moment can grant one-tenth of a bonus turn (to a maximum of a full turn).

        All moments generated by any instance of this talent will do the same sort of thing (though not necessarily all to the same effect or talent). Moments that don't have a subject to work on will reduce the amount of time until the effect can trigger again. The effect is determined randomly, but weighted by which will be most useful at the time.

        Tip: When the effect triggers, it will come with a burst of harmless temporal energy. If you gain free movement, this energy will be green. If you sustain beneficial effects, cyan. If you reduce detrimental effects, red. If you cool down talents, yellow. If you gain time, white.

        At raw talent level 3, you may target outside of your line of sight to teleport randomly between 15 and 50 tiles.

        Description: While your focus is on pure arcane forces, mana remains the fundamental force behind all magical energy manifestations, and you occasionally experiment with one of the others. Or, you know, a few of them. All at once. BUT YOU'RE REALLY CAREFUL THOUGH!

        You hurl a blast of random energy at up to 1 random opponents within range 10. Each blast is individually fairly weak, dealing 6 damage, and you only fire a maximum of one per opponent. However, each blast has a radius of 1, so the combined force can be devastating against a tightly-clustered group. While such a conflagration of random magical energy may seem risky to unleash, your experimental safeguards ensure that you and any friendlies come out unscathed.

        Damage scales with Spellpower, and number of targets with Willpower.

        This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

        Use mode: Sustained
        Sustain stamina cost: 16
        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 28 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 34% 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 six points of Dexterity (minimum 5%). 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
      		2/5
      • 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.

Your stamina, mana, and psi regeneration increases by 0.49, and your Physical Power, Spell Power, Physical Saves, and Spell Saves increase by 13. 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 1% 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.

        For 5 turns, each magical, physical, or mental detrimental effect applied to you by an enemy will have the duration preemptively reduced by 1 turns or 50% (rounded up), whichever is greater.

        Description: Through force of will you can concentrate the aether in your being into your blood stream, causing your pulse to race at unnatural speeds.
        Sustaining this talent will cause talents to cooldown by one turn at the begining of each turn. This will occur regardless of stuns or other effects that would normally reduce or prevent cooldowns. This will not effect talents with a fixed cooldown.

        CAUTION:
        The aether will burn you from within, causing you to take 4.9% of your maximum life as irresistible damage on the first turn, increasing each subsequent turn. Each turn the damage dealt will be 15% greater than the turn before. If your life is below 20% of your maximum at the start of a turn, the sustain will automatically deactivate.

        The damage of the effect is reduced by Willpower.

        Use your 'Choose Internal Inscription' talent to choose a rune or infusion to internalize, removing the item from your inventory.

        Once choosen, the inscription will trigger instantly when you take damage equal to or greater than 15% of your maximum life. This effect has a cooldown.

        The inscription will inherit the power and any stat scaling the inscription may have had, but the cooldown is based solely on this talent and the inscription may not be activated in any other way.
        An internalized inscription does not count toward your limit for the type or maximum numbers of inscriptions. The chosen inscription may be overwritten, but not removed in any other way.

        Description: Focusing your power, you leap to a chosen square in a range of 5. If your chosen square is occupied, you land in a random square adjacent to the target and attack it, dealing 36% weapon damage. Otherwise, if there are any enemies adjacent to your target square, you attack one at random. If the target dies as a result of this attack, this talent immediately cools down.

        If you are using a two-handed weapon, your damage will be further increased by 0%.

        If you are using two weapons, the power of Eldritch Combat for this attack (for triggered talents or bonus damage) increases by 0%.

        If you are using a single weapon (or unarmed), your chance to trigger Eldritch Combat with this attack increases by 0%.

        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).

      2.00 Encumbrance.

      [Plot Item]
      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.
