Speaking of combat training sucking up generics, if I know I'm going to pick up Legacy of the Naloren how heavy should I go into weapon mastery? Obviously I need to make sure I get that far to begin with but I don't want to just throw away points that could have gone in AM/fungus.

If that's your plan, you can probably be fine floating three points in it.

I haven't been too motivated to fix my desktop since it died on me, but oddly enough TOME might be the game that gets me to do it :allears: I really want to check out this 1.2 stuff.

Have you tried turning on safety mode from the launcher?

(remind me why ghouls need to breathe?)

Ghouls are festering humanoids that feast on human flesh. They're not actually dead. They're generally classified as undead only because no one else will have them.

In some, perhaps most, uses of the word ghoul, that is probably true. This game's ghouls are literally zombies, though. The ghoul start is you waking up from being resurrected by an idiot necromancer. DarkGod just didn't use the word "zombie" because of reasons.

That's fine but they still breathe. Look at those lungs go.

Psst; If you look really closely at the character vault, you can get a hint about the orc campaign.

No, it's not "look for race=orc" either.

Never change reddit. Someone asked on the Ashes announcement post if this was the game with the orc breeding ground and I said 'Yeah but they removed it because it was too creepy' and someone else piped up that there was a mod to restore it and the original guy seemed really pleased to hear it.

This is the ToME community.

I'd have to say you're either incredibly lucky or doing something wrong. Doombringers are fragile but your early game should fly by without a hitch. Trollmire was the first thing mine did after escaping, Bill included.

Your t1 choices are the Trollmire, Kor'pul, Norgos's Lair, the psychedelic forest next door, then the Rhaloren Camp and the crystal pit down in Elfzone. Not counting racials. Of those, Norgos's Lair is usually the least offensive unless you run into a rare snake.

My latest alchemist I dedicated just to doomelfing found no monoliths whatsoever anywhere, including plenty of farportal wandering. Also the first and only source of waterbreathing I found was on High Peak and then the nerdlords killed me, so. So much for that attempt.

I figured I'd go for some thematically appropriate variety and take the Fearscape route of Tannen's makework quest, but Draebor's portal either vanished or never showed up to begin with, and now I'm stranded.
