Seems like this class should have some form of "using cunning instead of strength, with daggers".
Otherwise, you're a melee combat class with much lower scaling on your primary weapons than most, as you already need 3 stats for the class's skills and abilities.

Welcome back.

A bullet hell in a closed room ? sounds juicy ! :p

Yeah, that would be nice. I've never played the Guaranteed Zones mod, just the original Extra Dungeons (which has apparently just been updated, though the creator hasn't specified what was changed) and this one. Honestly, ever since I did the unlock, I'd completely forgotten about this particular zone.

Would we expect it to show up every time? The...dammit, I know the name...the solipsist dungeon...the Caldera?...does show up despite being random, but it doesn't require an encounter. Maybe this mod would have to go into an entirely different part of the code to guarantee that encounter before creating the dungeon. Outside of the Far East, I can't think of any other random ones that require a special encounter first.

Once I get home and test it out, I'll be rating this add-on as a much welcomed update. Thanks from me too.

Edit: Yep.

I stopped using it because of the loss of the apprentice mage in the latest update of ToME, but that's the only problem I know about. If that's what is fixed, I'll definitely start using it again. I miss taking on all the available dungeons in my never-ending quest to just wipe all monsters from the face of Maj'Eyal. It's a hobby.

One thing I occacionally do is do the first zones of the first area, then go to a second area and do the first zones of that, and then go back for the first area.

So for example, doing Trollmire 1-3, then Kor'Pul 1-2, then Trollmire 4, then Kor-Pul 3.

That way the bosses will be slightly easier to deal with. Also, learning when to trigger healing and shields is critical to survival.

It is a quite complex game with a fairly high bar of entry, but once you figure out the basics it's great fun. Also, losing and starting over is part of this kind of game - don't feel as if you have failed at the game, think of it as having learnt another lesson!

I'm finding that the tinker rare banning doesn't seem to be working (whether or not the ban is active when the game is started), or at least I don't understand the mechanism. Not sure about oozemancer banning.

Updated. No longer 'Online profile disabled (switching to offline profile) due to invalid addon hash (mod-name)' message yet

Suggestion: As getting another unlocked category is considered such a strong benefit, may I suggest the reward functioning like Heart of the Sandworm? So you get it locked if you didn't have it, unlocked if you had it locked, and +.2 mastery if you had it unlocked.

EDIT: Two more things.
1. Bug: You are also granted the Traps tree unlocked.
2. Design: Poison is a class talent tree. No other class talent tree can be granted to characters of any class; this makes it stick out in a weird way. My suggestion would be either to change Poison to a generic talent tree, or instead of granting the Poison tree to the character, granting the first level of the first poison skill (and no tree).
