Or hit F2 (F3, or higher, if you've got other allies), or click on its box in the party members area (on the left), or hit ctrl+tab. In windows, anyway, by default. You can change the keybindings, of course -- the list's under 'party'. It works infinitely, from what I understand, but there's something like a 20-something turn delay between usages. The wait also isn't a very long wait, at all

Oh there's just a cooldown?

Good to know.

Awesomening with my archmage

Aegis is all in all a pretty cool tree...

[ChairmanPoo]

Found a strange town in the mountains. Had to dig to get there. Some buildings whose doors cant be opened. Any idea on what the hell is this?


EDIT: anyway, killed the worm. Toughest battle for my archie so far.

Also, found the second document of necromancer lore, which ellaborates on the advantages and disadvantages of using bound souls versus soul-less undead thralls. The last bits, which were rather funny, comment on how, should you decide to bind souls, you must make sure that every rune in your circle is well drawn and that, should you fail to do this and under threat of death by a rebellious slave, you should offer him items of power, because "few undead will kill their creators after such an act of generosity". :rotfl:

As of now I'm venturing out of the Sher'tul fortress in order to massacre adventurer parties (something I'm becoming quite profficient at, since I acquired the capability of spawning a couple of shields on me in short notice) in order to power the fortress' reactor.

Which kind of makes me a villainous figure, I guess

[Dr.Feelgood]

My necromancer became a lich. Whoo! And I finally did the orc breeding pits.

Killing babies and pregnant mothers is pretty monstrous. Does it have any effects on the ending?

Anyway, My lich also killed Melinda for fun. Heh.

If you start as an undead character

the necromancer tries to follow the lore's advice. Obviously, it worked as well as you'd think it would. :lol:

[ChairmanPoo]

I know, that's why I found it amusing.

In general, necro lore has many very amusing bits and pieces. Like the one about how being a necromancer of the nicer sort means that your PR will improve with villagers (with the disclaimer that this doesn't mean that they wont burn you alive if you are caught, but that some of them might feel bad afterwards)

It's worse than that, actually. The genocide achievement you get from that is being literal -- in clearing out the orc breeding pits, you've just killed the last of the female orcs in Maj'Eyal and the East and in doing so doomed an entire sentient species to extinction. Good job, hero

I don't think it has any effect on the ending, though. Not yet, anyway.

Cutting through the crystal caves with a temporal warden.

Normally I don't like melee characters, and in fact I'm playing this one mostly to get an achievement. But whoah. The high speed (particularily when I use Grace of the eternals) is amazing. Even without it I can dodge around many sorts of projectiles.

hrm having issues unlocking one fo the corrupter classes

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

is the code for it corrupter_corrupter?

[ChairmanPoo]

I think it's corrupter_corruptor

Question on an unlock.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Reavers, says I need to kill 1000 humanoids. Does this include hostile humanoids like orcs or do they have to be townsfolk like in derth or whathaveyou?

[dennislp3]

humanoid is anything "with human like qualities"

Think humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, lizardmen, etc...

pretty much intelligent bipedal creatures

[Seriyu]

Yeah I know that, but does the game count them as that? I figured since it seems to be an "evil" class it'd only count "evil" kills.

I guess I could just roll a bunch of dwarf charecters and see if I get it

EDIT: WOW, joining zigur is pretty tough. That arena match just keeps going.

[Robsoie]

I just lost my promising level 13 Human (Cornac) Berzerker

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

in the Lake of Nuir underwater ruins, i was too taken by the flow and instead of leveling more by exploring less difficult place, after finding very good armor and weapon once i defeated the Old Forest "iforgotthename" treant, i went to the underwater ruin (as i had a few underwater breathing items).

After cleaning the underwater part, i went down, and spent every turns in there "confused" (not sure which of those nasty critters was doing that), i guess having the spellshield skill of my berserker at its maximum is worth nothing for this .

And confused allow you to do nothing, not even using the regen/healing runes i had, and once out of confusion, my character went confused again meaning that despite it had lots of health, it was sitting duck and after lots of turns was killed.
As i wasted all my lifes on insisting in trying to take out Bill in the beginning of the game instead of going elsewhere to grind a level, it was my final one.

Was a fun run, next time i'll be much much more cautious in the dungeon exploration sequence, getting leveled up enough to stand a chance.

Is there a non-graphical version of ToMe?  I'm not a rogue-snob, it's just that I'm at work.

[Robsoie]

You can change the tileset to get something ASCII-like during the gameplay, press ESC then Graphic Mode and select instead of Shockbolt tileset, the ASCII one without background, and the size you want for them.

But the menu and icons remain visually nice.
