'''Talents''' are all of the skills and spells your character can learn. Most are available based on your [[class]] or [[race]], although some can be learned from [[escorts|escort quests]] or other [[quests]].

Learnable talents are divided into two broad groups: '''Class talents''' and '''Generic talents'''. Class talents are specialized skills that only specific [[classes]] may learn; Generic talents represent more general knowledge and are usually available to several classes. Some (but not all) Generic talents may be purchased in [[stores]], or acquired as quest rewards. [[Race|Racial]] talents are also Generic.

Certain equipment may bestow a talent on you, including talents not available any other way (for example, [[Block]]). These talents exist only while you have the item equipped.

==Using Talent Points==

For every [[character level]] gained, a character receives:
* 3 [[stats|stat]] points (2.5 in [[difficulty|insane and madness game modes]]) that can be used to increase [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], [[Constitution]], [[Magic]], [[Willpower]], and [[Cunning]].

* 1 '''Class talent point''' and '''1 Generic talent point''' that can be used to increase Class or Generic talents, respectively. At intervals of five levels (levels: 5, 10, 15 ...) you will receive instead 2 Class talent points and zero generic talent points.

Talent points are used to gain new abilities and skills, or to increase to power of those skills. Most talents have requirements of [[character level]] or [[stats]] which much be met in order to train that skill further. For example, the common talent [[Armour Training]] requires Strength 16 for level 1, Strength 26 for level 2, and on up to Strength 44 for level 5.

Each talent point can be used to increase the '''Talent level''' of one particular talent. Only Generic points can be used for Generic talents, and only Class points for Class talents. Increasing the level of a talent will increase the effects of that talent, or unlock new abilities for that talent. All talents start at zero talent level and have a maximum level of five. There are a few special exceptions to this rule.

===Mastery===

Talent categories have a '''mastery''' value applied to them, which increases or decreases the effective talent level for all talents in that category. Your class and race will determine additional the mastery multipliers which can increase or decrease the final effective talent level - and therefore effectiveness - of your talents.

For example, a [[Brawler]] has access to the {{c|Combat Training}} tree with a x1.10 multiplier. One point invested in any skill in this tree will make an effective talent level of 1.1. With five points invested, the effective talent level is 5.5. Meanwhile a [[Berserker]] has a x1.30 multiplier for the {{c|Combat Training}} tree. With five points invested, the effective talent level for the Berserker in any of those skills would be 6.5.

==Using Category Points==

Characters also receive 1 '''Talent category point''' at character levels 10, 20, and 36. These can be used to learn a new talent category (grey in the talent list), to increase the mastery of a known category by x0.2 (only once per category), or to add an additional [[inscriptions|infusion/rune slot]] (up to a maximum of 2 additional slots). The [[Cornac]] subrace of humans will start the game with one additional category point for the player's free use.

==Prodigies==

At characters levels 30 and 42, a character may learn [[Prodigies]]. These are separate from talents and do not cost any type of talent points.

==Maximum Points==

The typical maximums that can be reached by a character on easy/normal/nightmare difficulties are as follows:

;Base Stat Points: 232
*60 base points from 10 points in each of six stats at start
*9 points from [[class]] modifiers at start
*3 points from level 1 available to distribute at start
*147 points for leveling up to level 50
*10 bonus points upon reaching level 50
*3 points from consuming the [[Heart of the Sandworm Queen]], or its corrupted counterpart
*''Not included in total above: 9 points on average from consuming the [[Wyrm Bile]]''

;Class Talent Points: 70
*4-5 points from new character at start (depending on class)
*59 points for leveling up to level 50
*3 bonus points upon reaching level 50
*2 points from the [[Alchemist Quest]]
*1 point from consuming the [[Heart of the Sandworm Queen]], or its corrupted counterpart
*''Not included in total above: 1 irreversible point in {{t|Lichform}} for completing the [[From Death, Life]] quest''

;Generic Talent Points: 50
*2-6 points from new character at start (depending on class and race)
*39 points for leveling up to level 50
*3 bonus points upon reaching level 50
*2 points from [[The agent of the arena]] quest in [[Derth]]
:''You may select a party member to receive this reward''
*2 points from the [[Alchemist Quest]]
*1 point from consuming the [[Heart of the Sandworm Queen]], or its corrupted counterpart
*''Not included in total above: 1 irreversible point in {{t|Resolve}} for going [[Antimagic]]''

;Category Points: 4
*1 at level 10
*1 at level 20
*1 at level 36
*1 for consuming the [[Wyrm Bile]]
*''Not included in total above: 1 from start if [[Cornac]]''

;Prodigy Points: 2
*1 at level 30
*1 at level 42

''Note: There is a small possibility that earning 2 class talent points from the [[Alchemist Quest]] will prevent the quest from ever rewarding you with 2 generic points, and vice versa.''

== Additional Talents and Talent Categories ==

Many talents or talent categories can be acquired by characters even if they do not initially have access to them. Escort quests rewards are listed on the [[Escort]] page. [[Prodigies]] can be learned by any character that can meet their requirements. There are also special traps that are shown on the {{t|Trap Mastery}} page. All other means of learning talents or talent categories are detailed below:

=== {{c|Antimagic}} ===
::Complete the [[Antimagic]] trial in Zigur.
::If category was hidden or locked, unlock it at mastery level 1.0 and gain 1 free point in [[Resolve_(talent)|Resolve]]
::If category was unlocked, increase its mastery level by 0.1

=== {{c|Combat Training}} ===
::Purchase for 50 gold at any [[Last Hope]] weapon store
::Unlocks category at mastery level 1.0

=== {{c|Harmony}} ===
::Eat the [[Heart of the Sandworm Queen]]
::If category was hidden, reveal it as locked at mastery level 1.0
::If category was locked, unlock it
::If category was unlocked, increase its mastery level by 0.2

=== {{c|Hexes}} ===
::Complete [[the fall of Zigur]] quest
::If category was hidden, reveal it as locked at mastery level 1.0
::If category was locked, unlock it
::If category was unlocked, increase its mastery level by 0.2
::''You may select a party member to receive this reward''

=== {{c|Mindstar Mastery}} ===
::Purchase at mindstar store in [[Zigur]]
::Pay 100 gold to reveal category as locked at mastery level 1.0
::Pay 500 gold to unlock category at mastery level 1.0 if it was previously hidden, or increase mastery level by 0.3 (to a maximum of 1.1) if it was previously locked. The latter case may occur if you learned {{t|Psiblades}} or {{t|Thorn Grab}} by betraying an Alchemist in an [[escort]] quest while the category was still hidden.
::Pay 750 gold to increase mastery level by 0.2 if it was previously below 1.2

=== {{t|Shoot}} ===
::Purchase for 8 gold at any [[Last Hope]] weapon store

=== {{c|Staff Combat}} ===
::Purchase at the staff store in [[Angolwen]]
::Pay 100 gold to reveal category as locked at mastery level 1.0
::Pay 500 gold to unlock category at mastery level 1.0 if it was previously hidden, or increase mastery level by 0.3 (to a maximum of 1.1) if it was previously locked. The latter case may occur if you learned {{t|Channel Staff}} or {{t|Staff Mastery}} by saving an Alchemist in an [[escort]] quest while the category was still hidden.
::Pay 750 gold to increase mastery level by 0.2 if it was previously below 1.2

:::''As an important note that may not be obvious: This means that assuming you started with Staff Mastery hidden, you can gain a higher final talent level by learning Channel Staff or Staff Mastery from an Alchemist ''before'' revealing it, then paying the 500 gold to increase it to 1.1, and finally paying 750 gold to increase it by 0.2 to 1.3. If you do this without learning those from an escort, your final talent level will end up at 1.2 instead.''

=== {{c|Vile Life}} ===
::Eat the [[Corrupted heart of the Sandworm Queen]]
::If category was hidden, reveal it as locked at mastery level 1.0
::If category was locked, unlock it
::If category was unlocked, increase its mastery level by 0.2

==Talent Types==

Talents are organized into '''trees''' (or [[:Category:Category|category]]) and '''[[:Category:Category_Type|category types]]'''. A 'tree' is a set of four talents which have a similar mastery level (how effective the player is with those talents) and which have a similar focus. A 'category type' is a collection of talent trees with similar themes, usually for use by a particular [[class]] or group of classes.

For example, the '[[Chronomancy (category type)|Chronomancy]]' category type contains the trees: Age-manipulation, Chronomancy, Energy, Gravity, Matter, Paradox, Spacetime-folding, Spacetime-weaving, Speed-control, Temporal-combat, Timeline-threading and Timetravel.

===All Category Types===

*{{ct|Celestial}}
*{{ct|Chronomancy}}
*{{ct|Corruption}}
*{{ct|Cunning}}
*{{ct|Cursed}}
*{{ct|Psionic}}
*{{ct|Race}}
*{{ct|Spell}}
*{{ct|Technique}}
*{{ct|Steam}}
*{{ct|Undead}}
*{{ct|Wild-gift}}

Categories not directly accessible by players:

*[[NPC Only (category type)|NPC Only]]
*[[Objects (category type)|Objects]]

==Talent Use Mode Details==
There are three basic ways of using talents, often called "use mode": ''Passive'', ''Active'' and ''Sustained''.

* '''Passive''' talents are always in effect once you know them; you don't have to do anything to make them work, and they cannot be deactivated by enemies. An example of a passive talent is {{t|Combat Accuracy}}.

* '''Active''' talents have to be triggered, either by pressing a hotkey or clicking an icon on the talent/hotkey bar at the bottom of the screen. There is often (but not always) a [[resource]]s cost to activate the talent, and a cooldown period before the talent can be used again.

:Most active talents cost 1 turn to activate, but some are instantaneous (notably, [[inscriptions|wild infusions and shielding runes]] and most of the basic racial talents). Some active talents affect only the character using them (e.g. healing, teleport, shielding, ...), while others are targeted at a single opponent ({{t|Dirty Fighting}}, {{t|Assault}}), or a selectable area of the map ({{t|Fire Breath}}), or the tiles around the character ({{t|Death Dance}}), etc. Some of them produce effects that linger for a while (on the map, or on characters); others are resolved immediately. Each talent is different.

* '''Sustained''' talents are triggered like active talents, but they remain in effect until deactivated. Most of them produce an effect that benefits the character using them; for example, {{t|Icy Skin}} gives [[armour]] and cold retaliation damage. Most sustained talents have a resource cost associated with them, which decreases the total available pool of that resource for as long as the talent is in effect. For example, {{t|Blur Sight}} is a sustained talent with a [[Mana]] cost of 30. If your character has a pool of 200 Mana, activating Blur Sight will decrease your Mana pool to 170. [[Stamina]]-using sustained talents work similarly.

:Sustained talents that use [[Equilibrium]] or [[Paradox]] work a little bit differently, since those resources operate in reverse. Icy Skin has a sustained Equilibrium cost of 30. Normally, your Equilibrium level will drop toward 0 when [[Meditation|Meditating]] or walking on the world map. When Icy Skin is in effect, your Equilibrium level will not drop below 30. Likewise, {{t|Weapon Folding}} has a sustained Paradox cost of 12. When it's in effect, your Paradox level cannot drop below 12. Sustained talents, and effects obtained from active talents, can sometimes be deactivated by enemies. Be careful out there!

Unlockables (Reduced Spoilers)

2017-06-09T01:35:06Z

Aquillion: Rewriting a few hints to give a general direction to search in - they shouldn't spoil, but they still need to be at least slightly useful; some of these are no help at all (since you'll only know what it means once you've already stumbled on it.)

== Defining Race ==

All creatures have a race: Monsters, NPCs, and players. Races consist of two parts; type and sub-type. Type is usually a species, while the sub-type is a variety of the species. For example, if you choose to play as a [[Higher]], your type will be "Human", and your sub-type "Higher". This will be displayed as "Human/Higher" in the game. NPC examples include Demon/Major, Demon/Minor, Animal/Canine, and so forth.

Type and sub-type are used for certain abilities, most notably for [[vision#telepathy|telepathy]].
The [[Cursed]] class {{c|Predator}} talent tree also heavily relies on this concept.

== Playable Races ==
There are fourteen playable races in ToME, six available by default, and eight [[unlockables]] (and/or require purchase). Additional races created by the player community also exist as add-ons. While they offer more options and flavor, some may have unresolved bugs or balance issues.

'''Bold''' numbers are bonuses.

''Italic'' numbers are penalties.

Racial stat modifiers do not change your base stats.
