Seems to be what it does, though there's still some variability so it might just squish the ranges? It also affects inscriptions, both those you can purchase (but not those you start with) and those found on enemies, which can make the game a bit more... interesting, in both directions. Nothin' quite like fighting someone with a 200hp/turn regen inscription. I'm not completely sure if I'm sold all the way on it yet or not, but it's kinda neat running through the game with it on.

So apparently it's disabled, I've recently bought the new add- on/expansion "Forbidden Cults" & I am logged in, does buying the game expansions count as a donation?

If so how do I get the status re-enabled?

Just wanted to say I agree.
That is all.

- Solved problem with "turn off" separators from menu. Now it's worked currectly

Обновление v2.1.1
- Решена проблема с "выключением" разделителей из меню. Теперь все работает, как надо

This is why i like ToME: 99% of totaly deaths is your mistake, not random. U can avoid all deaths if u really want it. Sometimes u must to preparing for it (u can get a situtations where enemies will block u after lvl change, but u can prepare for it with items whic allow u to use a teleports. Etc). There no random with potions which can kill u, and no1 game mechanics don't lie to u. U can see all in characters sheets. U can predict all threats. If u really want it.

sorry, but... ALL FEAR THE MIGHTY GIANT WOLF HEAD(not to mention the skunk clipart)

Perfect. Just a clock.

I hope this is what you wanted.

You want my Opt-in Adventurers Parties addon.

You want my Ambush Escape addon. (And the OP and other commenters might also be interested in my Rage Quit addon.)

On the original topic… well, I recall I quit playing for something like a year after my first character to make it to the Sanctum got summarily curbstomped.

To overworld mobs on the second map. Twice. And i don't plan on returning ever again. The resistance and defenses system is needlessly complex and tedious. The game is way too long. The mouse control is lame. The in-game chat sucks really bad and should be a standalone thing. No vikeys unless you manually map them and move all those shortcuts around. No ctrl-f'ing stashed items for properties you want (before dying i spent a good 15 minutes looking up the water breathing property on all my items, one by one). No auto-attack, instead having 20 different keys that attack for more damage than your base attack, making gameplay slow. Those stupid f***ing overworld mobs that have no place in any game ever.

Here's the story of my first and only tome game ever. I went for a solid 20 hours without ever coming close to dying (i had blood whatever anyway so i was fine) and then some orcs ambushed me after killing the master and rod'ing back to the fortress (which is really stupid, why were orcs able to ever learn i got their stupid staff if i never came out of the vampire's tower? I didn't even want it anyway, not using staves, i was a bulwark, i could've given it to them had i had the option) and i dropped to negative health while fighting them, but i didn't die. Those orcs didn't happen to have tons of bs overleveled mages that nuke your resistances and deal all types of damage and debuffs, like the patrols i saw in the second map. Anyway, i kept doing some things in the first map, grew bored, went to the other map (which btw you can't get away from until you clear some level that would be full of bs orcs anyway), everything was fine, and then, the overworld mobs. First one that catch me killed me. Popped my blood. At this point i knew these were going to kill me a second time while exploring the overworld, and certainly enough, it happened after i got the girl's husband from the spider. I'm seriously pissed that 24 hours of gameplay went to the gutter TO OVERWORLD MOBS. I'd be fine had i died in a level, like i would in literally any other roguelike, but instead of that i died to an annoying mechanic. I was being entertained by the game, i won't lie. It's infuriating that i died to that after a near flawless first game. I haven't gotten this angry in years. I am not one to do this, but you can imagine me flipping the middle finger to overworld mobs and anyone and everyone who ever thought they were a good idea.

I'm back to crawl. I haven't gotten polytheist.
