Wonderfully thematic and extremely powerful class. Works out a bit like Cursed, with added perma-stealth and ways to fight outside melee range. Early game is slow but everything can be chipped away at.

The character I played

Genetic Memory is a broken talent, to the point that the only real threat is enemy Heartstalkers using it to strip your sustains, so you have to use it on them first! Basically nothing else was dangerous after some levels, though I didn't try doing Crypt or Godfeaster, and the final bosses were messy (my fault). Love and Death gets applied more often than it sounds and will negate a massive amount of incoming damage that isn't caught by Antimagic. Big spell crits coming out of nowhere still hurt, but Lapse is an incredible instant heal that's also an auto-safety net. Bumping power also gets strong.

On the other hand I don't know what the point of Projection is. It's 15 psi for a single area hit at low damage %, and you can't be spending lots of psi unless you can restore it very quickly. I think I'd actually prefer it not losing self-damage because then I could maybe use it to knock off Dazes, which are annoying when the enemies can't find you.

I am now playing this game like the first time. I always didn't enjoy some of the manual aspects of the ToME, but this solves it. Now I am playing "build your AI" and enjoying in immensely.

I have one major complaint though, which I would be very happy if you could resolve. Since I am always trying to go as complex and in depth as possible, it is very frustrating for me to go into each of the talents, each of the score systems individually, in order to save them. If you could do "save everything" button inside your class SaveSyS, that would be amazing. I tried to modify your code to do it, but failed.

Anyways, love this very much, thank you very much

• I wrote my Pre-Paid Hiemal Shield addon to address that annoying soul consumption thing; basically, it lets you "save" an extra soul to use to pay the refresh cost.
• …what version are you playing? Disruption Shield used to restore mana; as of about 1.6 (I think), it consumes mana on taking damage, frequently leaving you low on both mana and life after taking a big hit. I had to write my Classic Talents addon to roll that back.

This class was very fun, but so strong that it felt impossible to die for the whole game, even with my lazy gearing. Basically a Marauder with extremely good survivability and even more movement. A better player could demolish the game with it.

The character I played

Footwork is the main culprit... when you start getting overlapping Moving Target stacks from movement speed it effectively becomes permanent (wait for 2 stacks before doing non-instant actions so it never falls off). Footwork working with all types of movement makes blink/phasing strategies crazy. Disables are no problem at all with Conditioning + Intrepid (great tree by the way, what Combat Veteran should be). Parrying disables enemy melee crits and my final parry rate was 98% (!!!). Stamina issues were negligible, just walking around with Spring Attack was good enough to kill many rares anyway, and the class is spectacular at running away if you're really dry.

After entering Trollmire from ID level 1, going into that brick building with a floor "upstairs", and then leaving that floor, I ended up back in the ID. And the portal into Trollmire didn't work anymore.

The Moon fox race's minor tail "distracted tail" doesn't seem to work. When used, the effective talent level of the other talents in the category don't change, unlike "Focused Tail" which does show the effective talent level change correctly.

Thanks.

This is great news ! Particularly the book that I will see myself using for TTRPG games...

Darkgod has said it will be for a 1.7.5 build, with minimal changes just to add some things needed for Lost Land.

Looking forward to the beta!

Can't wait for the dlc beta release, and like zizzo said, is this coming with 1.8.0?

For reference, is this DLC being released for the current 1.7.4 game module, or is it being released as part of a 1.8.0 module release? (The latter, after all, would presage significantly more effort on my part — not just from porting a bunch of addons, but also potentially from trying to marathon the half-dozen or so 1.7 characters I've got lingering just past the Orc prides because I dread doing High peak…).
