You will notice at the start that this addon was made with alot of love and care. You will notice the different talent trees, icons, resource system, starting area etc. Alot of time and effort was invested into the design and implementation.
If you like to have something different, can take alittle bit of randomness (like chickens that spawn and attack you), then this is the addon for you.

I do not think it is suitable for a beginner, but suitable for an advanced player. The new resource Caprise with its random effects, rise and fall can take alot of use to.

Also the difficulty of the area of Queens Gambit, is ok.. not too easy. However the end boss is quite difficult. She is very hard to kill. So you need to rely on some tricks and some luck. It is fine if you play as a Charmed (,because you can escape), but as a Moonchild you will lose a life. I will put more feedback in the discussions.

Surgical strike adds an interfered debuff with skill failure as well as stunning. However, in most conditions the enemy just simply attacks and never triggers the second stage stunning, even though the failure rate exceeds 100%. So in most cases the skill can only produce extremely short stun, making itself a waste of investment

Hey. Sorry, my fault, didn't see the second menu item. I bet I can delete the thread (if it's possible), because it has no sense now :)

Since notes could be really huge, if you've made a single typo, then you're out of luck and have to delete and retype again. Possibly a better solution would be to show "Edit note" menu item if there's note, and if after the edit the note content is empty, then it should be considered removed.

Super good mods. Everyone should have both. Necrotic Minions is bugged tho. Can buy it but it doesn't show (overpriced imo). Also be nice to see Master of Bones and Master of Flesh since they're actual necro skills (way better tbf).

Updated Forest Wight text to correctly display 11 life per level.

Forest Wight and High Wight now warn the player at character creation about elemental vulnerability to blight and temporal/fire as appropriate.

Fixed some text with line breaks in odd places.

Sanitized some calculations to avoid absurd results when adding/removing racial talent levels.

My fix did not quite work for all cases, so I have disallowed refunds for the talent in the latest patch.

Thanks again for communicating about this bug!

Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with a bug. The code should take away .7 when you remove the final talent point (and re-lock access to the tree unless you have access to it from another source.) However, clearly that is not working as intended. I will work on a fix.

Would you consider updating the 360 degree sprays like acid rune and the blood one with the great visuals you already made for the cones? It would be splendid! :)

Being open source is actually one of the best things about this game <3

Fundamentally, I understand the Reaver to be a rogue/mage assassin-type class, which is why you deal a lot of damage but can't really take hits well. The problem with this is, as you have noticed, TOME is a survival horror game and thus the ability to take unexpected hits is crucial. You do get bone shield but that's only good for taking the occasional stray hit, not for eating full frontal combos from bosses. Once they get past your shield it's a question of whether or not you can take the hits.

It may help you to think like an assassin: nerf your enemies with hexes, pinning, and spellshock before you close in and trade blows with them. Don't pick a fair fight with anything tougher than a normal or critter ranked mob.

If you're looking to balance the "glass cannon" class out, you can try going a tanky race, like dwarf or wight (my own addon, Playable Wight Race, adds wight as a tanky undead race option.) Unless you get a really broken race, though, thinking like an assassin, isolating and debuffing your prey will still be necessary. Always have multiple escapes in case stun puts one on cooldown or you're in a teleport locked vault. Always have an emergency heal or shield rune that costs 0% of a turn to use. Always have a plan.

When I started modding ToME I had only a couple of high school level computer science classes under my belt and had never heard of LUA. I certainly made some mistakes, but not knowing LUA was never a set back. There's quite a wealth of examples for most things you may want to do (talents, races,classes, items, zones, quests, etc), and if you can't find an example or still have questions, come join us on the Discord and the forums :) I was welcomed by the group of regular modders and given tons of great advice (and more than a little coding help) to get me on my way, and now I have created several addons.

I can't wait to see what you come up with! (And not just because I'm always eager for new content... but mostly ;-P )
