Adds Argillan, a variant of human. I like the 'Cornac Rectification' mod, but always feel a little guilty at its power, though I agree with the premise.
This is my solution. I put in a little more points, spread out, and slapped it with an experience penalty.

---Changelog---
- v1.0.0 Initial release
- v1.0.1 always capitalize Argillan
- v1.0.2 I broke stuff by trying to have Argillans learn 2 cat points at level 10
- v1.0.3 I stoppped trying to fix that and added the extra cat point from the start
- v1.0.4 Exp penalty up, class/generic points down

Yet another rework of the OldRPG tileset. Compatible with Orcs, Cults, and Ashes. Both parts are required.

Arknights Core Classes

Currently Playable Classes: Archetto (1) / Skadi the Corrupting Heart (2) This mod lets you play as Archetto and Skadi the Corrupting Heart, operators from Arknights who have found themselves stranded in the world of ToME4!

A class evolution for Doomed subclass.

The whispers intensify to doom everyone hearing them.

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!

(Preview of glowing lightsabers bellow, in game looks even better)

Inexplicably, you felt the call to go to a specific location, far away from home.
You walked farther than you meant to. The hills stopped looking like your hills. At the end of it there was no shrine and no army — only a strange square object, partly broken, lying where nothing like it should lie.
It woke when you touched it.
A blurred silhouette stood in the light. A person who had been alive once. A Jedi Master. He spoke as if the words had been waiting for you.

He taught you the Force: the invisible link of energy that connects everything in the universe. He taught you that a Jedi knight is the defender of justice and harmony, and that a Sith is bound by his emotions to bring stability and prosperity, no matter the cost, to his own empire. He put a mindstar in your hand and showed you how to turn it into a blade of living light.
A lightsaber.
Under the guidance of this mysterious being you learned to foresee the future, even blows, a heartbeat before they land, and your fluid and accurate handling of your energy sword makes you deflect them with ease. You Force Push enemies and send them flying, destroying walls where they land.

The journey just begun.

As you learn, the image of the former Jedi Master becomes clearer and will give you full knowledge of his unique fighting style once you proved yourself (will appear completely at level 10),
But who was he?
!!!You may follow only 1 form during your journey!!!

Forms:

Soresu
The defensive master Obi-Wan Kenobi, whose patience and endurance outlasted every duel he was meant to lose. Uses robes and a single psiblade. Highest passive deflection and resilient melee, built to stand in front of armies. Best at ripostes.

Ataru
The Chosen One Jedi master Anakin Skywalker, whose speed and fury ended wars before they could spread. Uses light armor and two psiblades. Fast multi-hit melee, high mobility, and increased criticals.

Djem So
The unmatched strength of Sith lord Darth Vader, who terrorized the galaxy and expanded his empire with brutal strength and Force. Uses heavy armor and a single psiblade. Devastating melee and Force powers with long cooldowns, durability, and an aura of demoralization to finish who's left.

Makashi
The noble Count Dooku, whose precision and presence turned every duel into a lesson. Uses robes and a single psiblade. The only form that projects lightning. Relies on large area Force powers and precise melee ripostes. Force powers grow stronger as the fight lasts, but passive deflection falls if you do not watch it.

Niman
The Jedi hero Luke Skywalker, the farm boy who became the legend, saved the whole galaxy by defeating the Empire and secured lasting peace by restoring the Republic. His master was old Obi-Wan Kenobi. Uses light armor and a single psiblade. Balanced melee, deflection, movement speed, chance to double attacks, and Force powers that heal or cleanse.

Vaapad
The Champion of justice Jedi Master Mace Windu, the only Jedi who could channel the dark side without falling and the only one to ever defeat Darth Sidious in single combat. Uses robes and a single psiblade. Extremely lethal and fast melee that siphons life during attacks, with solid defense, but builds dangerous Force Corruption that must be carefully managed.

Juyo
Darth Maul, young, was the prodigious apprentice of Darth Sidious, sent on lone rogue missions across the galaxy... the Phantom Menace! After his fall and exile, he created the Shadow Collective, a criminal network aimed against the Empire itself. Light armor, a red dual-bladed lightsaber, and the combined tools of a Sith operative and a crime lord: acrobatics, multi-hits, kicks and Dark Rage as a Juyo practitioner. Guerrilla maneuvers, stealth and oppressive probe droids as a criminal mastermind.

- The lightsabers now glow! (no preview here yet but trust me they are looking good)
- The lightsaber changes color with the Form. Yellow if none is active.
- You now ignite your lightsaber at the start of combat ! (automatically) and it deactivates after the fight, you can still activate it for a few turns outside of combat if you need to check yours stats or want to admire it.
- You will now travel just like a jedi/sith with just the mindstar at hand, and when things get serious the lightsaber activates.
- Lightsaber sounds for activation, deactivation, and attacks. (made them noticeable but discreet)

A Form does more than add its own tree. While it is active, some shared talents are replaced by that Form's version, with its own name, icon and effect. Sith for example change Force Pull -> Force Drain. Force Slow becomes Jedi Mind Trick, Force Stasis, or Dazing Force Stasis. Opening Cut and Saber Riposte can become a lightning strike or a double kick.

---

VISUAL EFFECTS:
The intensity of the visual effect around your character (electric sparks for Siths, blue or green energy for Jedis) increases with how many stacks (center/hubris/balance...) you currently have.
Each forms has its own stacks mechanic, except Djem-so and Ataru who has a long lasting buff instead (therefore these 2 have the visual effect around your character at maximum intensity for their buff durations).

---

Jedi is a new subclass under Psionic for ToME 1.7.6.

This mod will allow you to play your character as the padawan/apprentice under the guidance of the most iconic Jedi or Sith of your choice.

Shared talents give you the classic force push (especially destructive as pushed hostiles if pushed thru a wall will destroy them creating a kinetic explosion), force pull, saber deflect (a % chance of completely negating all damage and associated status effect from attacks, except of course AOEs and most spells), and many many more unique talents/mechanics that i created myself from top to bottom.

As you reach level 10 (hopefully), you may at last repair your holocron and uncover (well, actually, choosing really) who this Force master actually is, and then use his unique fighting style, some of them COMPLETELY change your gameplay (some have blinding speed, some are very slow but absurdly strong, and more...).

The class is under: Psionic → Jedi.
Needs nothing else. First public build. If something breaks, tell me the form, the talent, your other addons, and drop te4_log.txt here.
I cannot wait to see your feedback, as this mod was made in accordance with the star wars movies (the first 6 movies to be exact).

If you love my mod and want to help me doing more, remember that you can make a donation to our beloved DarkGod in the website, and if you want to help and thank me:
https://ko-fi.com/seha854373

Share your death here (with Form used) so that your character will become immortal as a Force ghost :shock: to help Jedis that are still alive and avoid them the same fate (also it's always fun)

I might add create more Forms from other famous characters (maybe Grand master Yoda, Darth Maul (done), Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Sidious/Palpatine...), if it comes to that I will let you guys decide which one you want.
Why not even some other Forms from other characters outside of the first 6 movies, I will follow what you guys ask. (it is a mod for you after all)

May the Force be with you.

3.0.5 Update:

• Fix all Forms are now passiives instead of sustains (just makes the mod run smoother).

3.0.3 Update:

• fix to make it all smooth with most mods people use (nekoQol, Zomnibus...)

3.0.0 Update Lightsaber Glow!:

• now Lightsabers are bright and alive! took me a damn long time to make it work, enjoy!
• small fixes, this mod is now whole and polished not much is missing, if you find anything wrong plz tell me.

2.5.0 Update Lightsaber auto-ignition and sounds:

• Added lightsaber sounds for activation, deactivation, and attacks.
• Lightsaber activates automatically when combat starts and stays on until combat ends.

2.0.0 Update:

• Lightsabers! starting at level 1 as a Padawan, then later your lightsaber color changes depending on the Form you choose, these activate dynamically as you sustain/unsustain a Form.
• Many Forms now have their own unique switch talents: Some shared talents will completely change their images, descriptions and effects (Sith Forms change Force Pull to Force Drain etc...), these change dynamically when you sustain/unsustain a Form.
• 7th new Form added: Juyo, Sith Operative using a double-bladed red lightsaber, Acrobatic, many kicks, criminal tactics and probe droids, ghost master is Darth Maul.
• Balance pass: Slight buff for Makashi, Soresu, Djem-so. Slight nerf: Niman.
• Many fixes, descriptions are now clearer and polished.

Update 10/3/2026:

• Fixed: Forms Djem-so big buff all around, better everything, Force throw lvl4-5 now resets his important cooldowns. Also small buff for Form Makashi, he now has Force Drain in his kit.
• Fixed: small fixes. Force Throw lvl4-5 now properly does AOE, and gem buff Kyber crystal stops its timer duration during rest.

Update 10/1/2026:

• Fixed: Now Forms activate instantly (instead of ending your turn), Jedi Psiblade activate instantly (instead of ending turn) and has no cooldown (instead of 6 turns), meaning that if a boss strip your Sustains/buffs it's up to you to notice but it wont be death anymore. Also now Forms weapon bonus damage is applied when you attack (instead on being in your character stat), doesn't change much but makes the code cleaner.

Update 9/30/2026:

• Fixed: Many small fixes, also from now on a Jedi will never be able to learn the tree Wild-gift/Mindstar mastery, or any talent in this tree. (some smart devils among you used it to double the base power of Psiblades...)

Update 9/29/2026:

• Fixed: Ensured that Crystal trade will not convert any important gems (only the normal ones).

Update 9/28/2026:

• Fixed: Niman form, sometimes Balance stacks were reducing without using Push/Crush.
• Fixed: No Hostiles can ever be Jedi class (might add some in the future when i will create a Jedi/Sith quest).

Update 9/28/2026:

• Fixed: a successful Riposte did not do +40% damage/wasn't instant/did not daze.

Update 9/27/2026:

• Fixed: a successful Riposte did not reduced the cooldown.
• Fixed: Clarified the Deflect to indicate that it does not work against spells of any kind or any AOE effects (= can only deflect weapon attacks/arrows/throwing knives...).

Update 9/26/2026:

• MANY fixes to make sure everything works flawlessly, if you find anything please tell me i will fix it the same day.
• balance pass for most forms because some were indeed way too strong.
• gems balanced too they were far too strong.

This is a stand-alone Quality of Life pack that improves some minor things about ToME gameplay.
This pack adds a heads-up display to the side if your current character has a summoning timer, displaying their remaining time.
Background: It was originally designed to operate with "OoTS" Lifelinks, but I later decided to extend it for general purposes. Besides, it looks nice!

Yet another rework of the OldRPG tileset. Compatible with Orcs, Cults, and Ashes. Both parts are required.

An addon that lets you play as a lungfish!

Lungfish are very weak. This is a challenging class to play. They have no equipment slots (including weapons) except for 4 ring slots, a necklace slot, and a belt slot. To make up for it they gain a few more generic points and have a powerful and unique racial tree. They also start with a special artifact...

Their racial tree grants them enhanced detection powers, resistances and crit resistance, enhances your worn rings, and melee defenses.

In-game description:

A hardy fish capable of breathing both air and water.
They are physically limited in what they can wear, but possess four proto-limbs for equipping rings.
They start with an extra generic point and gain an extra generic point every 7 levels.
Stat modifiers:

+ 1 Willpower

Life per level: 11

Version 1.0.1: Fixed 3rd talent ring stat multiplier at level 5 not working.
Version 1.1.0: Fixed item equip bug, revised 4th ability, added 2 new artifacts, added new enemies and mechanic, added new boss, and general polish. Also balance changes to abilities and buffs to starting artifact.

Thank you for trying Spell Merchants, I hope you enjoy my mod :)

This mod is where it's at, thanks to this amazing community giving feedback and bug reports! This was a hobby project I started to add things that I wanted in the game, and it grew due to community feedback! I want to give a Heartfelt Thank You to all who contributed with ideas, requests and bug reports. This mod wouldn't be where its at without you! If you enjoy this mod please consider giving it a like. <3

Mod that allows you to play as an adventurer who somehow ended up with humanlike intelligence, but the body of a bear.

Bears are an unusual adventurer species. They are unable to use most equipment (hat, lite, amulet, cape and tool only), but are very strong, fast and tough and have a rather powerful racial talent tree.
For now the NPC dialogues do not reflect that you are a bear, although it would be nice if I could find time to change that in the future.

Racial talents
- Maul: You gain two powerful unarmed paw attacks. Despite being unarmed, you can use your paws to perform most attacks that would normally require melee weapons.
- Ursine Ingenuity: Reduce all cooldowns, increase stat contribution to inscriptions and unlock a special "off hand" slot.
- Ironhide: Gain strong defences that scale with physical power, and the ability to treat your tough hide as light armour
- Huge. Angry. Bear.: You become far larger, faster, tougher, and stronger.

There are also 3 race evolution prodigies, with more to come if I have any good ideas. Suggestions welcome.

Adds two races, one class, a new town, and a new low level dungeon. Completing a quest to explore the new dungeon unlocks purchasable perks in the town. This quest is the starting quest for the added races, but anyone can access an alternate version of the quest with the same rewards. Look toward the coast east of Last Hope to get started.

Available perks (cost varies):
Reveal Exotic Weapons Mastery (must already know Combat Training; Combat Training can also be purchased as per Last Hope shops).

Gain the ability to invest in Heavy Armour Training and equip mail(heavy) armor by meeting the requirement with the highest of Constitution and Dexterity (or Strength, as usual).

Gain bonus attack and movement speeds and a chance to evade incoming damage while wearing mail(heavy) armor. These values scale with Dex and Con, respectively.

Learn (locked or unlocked) a new Psionic/Mindstar combat talent tree. Similar to Wild-Gift/Mindstar mastery, this tree also has a Psiblades sustain. Once learned, you can also pay to boost mastery (as with Mindstar mastery from Zigur).

---

Psionic/Mindstar combat:

Psiblades:
Increases damage and physical power when attacking with Mindstars. When sustained, increases the damage modifiers and mind stats granted by equipped mindstars (this is an exact copy of the wild-gift/mindstar mastery psiblades talent).

Mind Thorns:
Instantly touch the mind of an adjacent foe, creating mental thorns which reduce mind save and deal mind damage each turn for a few turns.

Mind Storm:
Create a storm of psionic energy which lasts for a few turns. The storm will overheat the mind of foes in the area, causing them to burn (stacking). Allies in the area will be obscured by illusions, reducing the bonus damage of critical hits dealt to them.

Psionic Balance:
Attack an adjacent enemy with your mainhand Psiblade and channel the energy through your offhand to create a psionic damage shield around an ally or yourself. The power of the shield is based on the damage of the attack and can be a mental critical. The shielded target will also regain an amount of Psi based on the damage of the attack.

---

Races:

The Naloren are elven race with an affinity for water who are adept with mail armor, whips and tridents. They are also known for their bountiful spirit and superb flexibility.
Talents:

Spirit of the Tides:
Gain X charges of Surging Spirit for 5 turns. Charges will be consumed as you activate talents to reduce their cooldown by one turn per charge.

Spirited Combat:
Gain X% armor hardiness in all types of armor and a Y% Constitution damage modifier for all weapons.

Cleansing Water:
When you are afflicted with a detrimental effect you have a X% chance to create a 1-tile pool of Cleansing Water within 2 tiles of yourself. Moving into Cleansing Water will consume it to cleanse the detrimental effect with the highest duration currently afflicting you. This has a cooldown (3).

Whitewater:
Call on the surging tides to aid you, creating radius X pool of rushing water lasting for 6 turns. Moving within Whitewater is instant for you. Foes will have a 50% chance with each movement within Whitewater to flounder, draining 50% of a turn and leaving them Dazed for 1 turn.

Stats:

+ 4 Con, +4 Dex, -1 Cun, -1 Str, -1 Mag, +10 life rating, 10% increased global speed, 15% xp penalty.

The Freeks are a tribe of Yeeks who broke free from The Way. They are still strong psionics, but their minds have been irreparably shattered.
Talents:

Unbound Mind:
Remove up to X silence and confusion effects from yourself and increase your silence and confusion immunities by 100% for a few turns. When activated, all foes in range 8 are afflicted with Shattered Mind for the same duration, giving them a chance each turn to become dazed or confused(35%) for 2 turns.

Partition:
Increases resistance to all damage and decreases the duration of negative effects.

Hasty:
Gain a passive mind speed bonus. If you are afflicted by 4 or more negative effects, the passive speed bonus will temporarily be doubled and any actions (attacks, spells, movement, etc) will use your mind speed if it is faster than the usual speed.

Schism:
Create up to 3 illusions of yourself adjacent to foes within range 10 that will taunt enemies for a few turns.

Stats:
-2 Con, +0 Dex, +3 Cun, +0 Str, +1 Mag, +3 Wil, +9 life rating, -10% xp 'penalty', -15% confusion immunity.

 Deal physical damage and pin. Frozen targets take extra damage and both hits bypass the ice block.

Thermal Blast:
Deal fire damage and cold damage and freeze. If target is pinned, pull in nearby enemies and freeze them to the ground for a few turns.

Charged Blast:
Deal lightning damage and shock (reduce stun/pin resist by half). If target is pinned, boost Charge Shield value. If target is frozen, push nearby enemies away from you.

Psi Weaving:
Increased Fire, Cold and Lightning damage and res pen. Also applies to physical, but at half the value.

Altered Talents
Beyond the Flesh:
TK mindstars now project a blast of damage instead of pulling enemies. Chance, range and damage scale with mindstar tier (damage also scales on Mindpower). Active Aura damage is added to the blast at 2 times the usual power.

Quick as Thought:
Also increases mental crit chance.

Mindhook:
Can also target a wall to pull yourself.

Resonant Focus:
TK mindstars have increased chance to blast and also increase the radius of Voracity talents and the range non-melee mind powers.

Frenzied Focus:
TK mindstars attempt to blast all foes in range and Aura damage is added at 4 times the usual power.

Transcendent Telekinesis:
Resets Kinetic Blast, Telekinetic Crush and Puncture. Converts all damage to Physical while in effect. Kinetic Blast will also strike two random foes adjacent to the target.

Transcendent Electrokinesis:
Resets Charged Blast, Telekinetic Crush and Puncture. Converts all damage to Lightning while in effect. Charged Blast will also chain to 3 nearby enemies.

Static Net:
Static Charge is released with your next Telekinetic Crush or Charged Blast.

Transcendent Pyrokinesis:
Resets Thermal Blast, Telekinetic Crush and Puncture. Converts all damage to Fire or Cold (based on your increased damage) while in effect. Thermal Blast cold/freeze will hit in a radius 1 ball.

Adds the Android and Addonroid subraces to the Human race.

Androids are machines that closely resemble humans in appearance.
They cannot level up through combat. Instead, they level up by equipping better weapons and armors.

Addonroids are lifeforms born from abandoned addons.
They are fragile, but the more enabled addons they have, the stronger they become.

1. Faster ToME4 (v0.2.8) — Release Notes

Comprehensive performance & stability overhaul for **ToME 1.7.6** (Upstream: 0.0.1).

> **TL;DR**: Synchronous save pause reduced by **~68%** (459 ms → 145 ms); pure Lua FBO guard eliminates mid-frame rendering stalls; native memory leaks fixed. **100% pure Lua, zero external binaries, fully compatible with existing saves & achievements.**

1. 1. Save Stutter Reductions
1. Fast Snapshot Clone**: Skips memo lookups for primitive values; cuts cloning CPU time by **~33%** while preserving the exact object graph.
2. Wait-Screen Refresh**: Pumps native wait-screen redraws during snapshot cloning; reduces save-time freezes from **171.4 ms to 70.5 ms (-58.9%)**.
3. Fast Lossless Screenshots**: Direct GL pixel reads with Level-1 PNG compression; cuts screenshot capture time from **50.0 ms to 24.3 ms (-51.5%)**.
4. Redundant Work Eliminated**: Omitted unused secondary party creation and offline character dumps, saving 1,700+ transient UID allocations and ~136 RNG calls per save.

1. Rendering & Combat Smoothness
1. Pure Lua FBO GC Guard**: Fixes engine defect where FBO finalizers corrupt active drawing targets mid-frame; defers cleanup to the next `use()` call, eliminating driver/LLVM stalls.
2. Hit-Warning Rate Limiting**: Throttles directional arrows (`hit_warning`) to **1 per 500 ms**; prevents arrow volleys from flooding emitters and lagging the game.
3. UI & Mask Batching**: Caches hotkey text rasterization (**-23.6%** display CPU); batches effect-mask geometry into single vertex calls.

1. Engine & Upstream Bug Fixes
1. Native Memory Leak Fixed**: Switched character export compressor to embedded `lzlib` with proper cleanup, eliminating **~12.8 MiB leak per 50 exports**.
2. Log & Cache Hardening**: Fixed `CacheList` modulo bug (now utilizes all 5,000 slots); restored `truncate_printlog`; bounded chat text & bytecode caches.
3. Particle Leaks Fixed**: Added finite lifetimes to `notice_enemy` and `dreamhammer` emitters that previously leaked indefinitely.

1. 4. Optional Settings (`config.settings.faster_tome.*`)

All enabled by default. Toggles include: `fbo_gc_guard`, `hit_warning_interval_ms` (0 to disable), `snapshot_refresh`, `screenshot_png`, `save_clone`, `offline_chardump`, `unused_party_cleanup`, `export_gzip`.

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!

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!
