You summmon.

Also, make sure you get a good amount of health since you can't really use armor.

Also, you should try to get Thick Skin as quickly as possible, within reason of course.

Tele'ing is hella important, but if you don't want to risk teleporting to a bad spot, you could always get something to make you harder to hit, or fast enough to run away. This is pretty much essential to any character, though, in addition to Thick Skin and more health in general.

Failed my physics final almost exclusively due to this game. Probably my favourite roguelike atm, although I am really interested in trying out URW and Cataclysm.

Been playing brawler nonstop and is currently my favourite class, although I have next to no experience with more than a few.

What are other peoples' favourite classes/character builds? What I love about this game is not just how many classes their are, but how distinct and unique they seem to play. Tons of replayability due to this.

Also: does anyone have any experience/interest in modding the game? I'm planning to delve heavily into it once I get the game under my belt, I love modding games and have been looking to get into roguelike development for awhile now. Would love to hear other peoples' experiences.

Its the single most "Shit Just Works" RL I've ever played.

Running a Gnome Mesmer. Glass cannon and failable as hell, but its fun to feel both spectactular and fragile all at once. As soon as I get a guy up to the shield, it'll get better. Maybe a skelly next time.

Gonna be back when I wake up but Wyrmac (think that the name) was the go to class after berserker got nerfed to shit; they had huge versatility, huge defensive abilities, and AM that psat perfect with them.

Necro is honestly good but unless you know easier mage classes you're not going to beat the 2nd continent.

Does anyone else here remember blatantly OP temporal wardens raping everything? What about more than your entire lifebar berserkers? Or the fortress guardian that kills you instantly with his speed runes?

I really love ToME's diverse classes, but I think the real reason I've stayed with it for so long is because of it's UI. I was really impressed with how customizable and easy to grasp it was compared to other roguelikes. I didn't have to memorize a bunch of keystrokes for the different actions, and I could simply rearrange and assign the keys to various commands to suit my needs.

Are there other roguelikes UI as good as ToME's, because I'd like to try them.

Roll a ghoul, retching makes a super easy start, and leaping has gotten me out of more silenced jams than I care to recall.

Cursed class is really starting to grow on me, it's really easy to get complacent with it and throw yourself into really bad positions which is half the fun for me.

does this game have complicated mechanics for my autistic mind to tackle or is it more of a roguelite?

what race is that?

Ogres. They're new in 1.3. They have second highest HP after Ghouls, and they level almost as slowly as Ghouls, but unlike Ghouls they aren't trash.

One-handing a 2hander gives a penalty -20% to physical/spell/mind power, which is pretty huge. To make it worthwhile, you need either an uber 2hander, or to abuse things that normally can't be done with a 2hander, like Flurry or Assault.

Ogres' other gimmick is insciptions. Three of their four racials all make them way better at using inscriptions, and the last one gives them an extra inscription slot.

As roguelikes go, TOME is pretty autistic.

My current favorite is a lightning and shields archmage. Maxed lightning, maxed the teleport, maxed the time shield and working on the others. So far I've been nearly indestructible.

Necromancers are trash. The minion's AI is shit and you are pitifully weak for the whole of the early game, not to mention completely helpless when some unique makes short work of your minions. It's why the best necromancer builds are minionless.

Oh and by the way, I don't know if Skeleton Brawlers are fucking extra ez mode or I'm just really good with them.
