Talent Point Planner 1.7.0

The Talent Point Planner allows you to plan how to spend your character's future talent points (hence the name).  Bound to the <alt-shift-g> key by default [which can be changed in the usual manner], the planner makes a temporary copy of your character, levels it up to level 50, and opens the level-up dialog for you to set up your point plan.  When you're finished, the plan will be saved and displayed as annotations in the regular level-up dialog.

    Also provides various small improvements and bugfixes for the levelup dialog:

    • New game option "[ZOmnibus] | Sort unlearnt talent trees by name", with settings "None", "Unlearnt" or "All".
    • New game option "[ZOmnibus] | Verbose talent requirements", which adds a warning message to talent descriptions in the levelup dialog if you cannot use a talent due to not wielding appropriate equipment or similar requirements.
    • In the planner levelup dialog, press <Ctrl-U> to dump the current point plan to a file.
    • Improves "advanced display" mode for talents with maximum level greater than 5.
    • Updates stat display when increasing or decreasing level of talents that passively improve stats.

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

      Forbidden Cults 1.7.4

      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!

        Is: a spell and usable during Aether Avatar
        Description: Surround yourself with arcane forces, disrupting any attempts to harm you by creating a shield of pure aether which can absorb 29 damage.
        In combat, the mental focus required to maintain and monitor the shield is too much and you let it run on its own. In this state once the shield power is depleted it will start using your mana to absorb hits, at a ratio of 1.43 mana per damage.
        Whenever mana is used by the shield it stores a remnant of this energy (up to -50 max). When the shield is deactivated any stored energy is released in a radius 5 arcane storm that lasts 5 turns, dealing 20% of the total stored damage each turn.
        Outside of combat the shield regenerates 10% of its power each turn and stored energy quickly dissipates.
        Dropping below 50% mana or reaching max energy storage will automatically deactivate this talent.
        The shield power improves with your Spellpower.
        The maximum energy storage is based on your total mana (ignoring sustained spells), with a limit at -25 effective mana.

        Description: Surround yourself with a phantasmal shield of pure light.
        Whenever you would take damage there is 6% chance to become ethereal for an instant and fully ignore it.
        If you do get hit, the shield glows brightly, sending triggering a flash of light on the attacker, dealing 14.02 light damage in radius 0 around it and dazzling any affected creature (deal 10% less damage) for 5 turns. This can only happen every 18 turns.
        The damage and ignore chance will increase with your Spellpower.

        This image has 2 life and can never take more than 1 damage per creature per turn and is immune to any non direct damage (ground effects, damage over time, ...).
        Whenever you cast a spell your mirror image will try to duplicate it at the same target for 66% less damage, if possible. If it can, it will lose 1 life, if not it will instead taunt a creature to focus its attention on itself.
        While the image exists you receive the damage bonus from the Invisibility spell as if you were invisible.
        This spell can not be cast while a Mirror Image already exists and only in combat. It will disappear after a few turn when outside of combat.

        Each turn the restoration field is active, you get healed for 10% of the absorbed damage (Aegis Shielding talent affects the percentage).
        The shield's max absorption will increase with your Spellpower.
