Let's see if I have better luck in this version, which incorporated roles and races from several ToME modules. The GDSM was found just lying on the floor in Barrowdowns, and somehow the level feeling was only "strangely lucky", I'd say such a powerful OOD item deserves at least an excellent if not superb feeling...

Also, I have a few questions about corruptions. First, they seem to be temporary? Most of them disappeared after a while, and I only get new ones by leveling up, does this mean that once I hit level 50 and wait out all the corruptions this character will play normally again? Second, anti-teleportation mentions that the space-time continuum is stabilized, does this mean I have time resistance, and will be protected from "you feel life has clocked back" and "you're not as strong as you used to be"? And third, I thought corruptions were completely impossible to remove once you have them???

With this character I also want to try a new Yavanna strategy that I invented, but it's not working out so far thanks to the RNG. Basically, the plan is to do FF quests for a while and always picking prayer if it comes up until the multiplier is something like 0.8, then put as many points into it as possible. From then on I'd keep doing FF quests and on every levelup I'd spend as many points into prayer as possible. The goal is to reach about 50 points in prayer quickly and then do the temple quests to increase it even more, where once again the RNG's helping hand is needed because it means postponing the temple quests for a long time and then actively level-draining myself so I can still get them. Specifically, the RNG needs to hand me a junkart of high experience loss. But alas, it seems that I'll fail gloriously since not a single time did Prayer skill get offered as a reward yet. :(

Does level draining re-enable getting temple quests ? I seem to dimly remember that that got changed. Of course, I only know vanilla ToME2.

I dont know much about corruptions; afaik, in vanilla ToME they are permanent.

If temple quests increase prayer beyond 50, it shouldnt be by much ?
Iirc, you get 15 points from quests, so at best youd be at 65 prayer skill; is that worth all the hassle ? It would be 30% more damage on water bite, if thats what your mostly going for, but water bite is a bit mediocre to begin with.

Alright, orc caves mostly done (2 dungeon towns including a potion shop, scroll shop, footwear shop and expensive black market! Yay!), nice artifacts retrieved, still lacking poison resistance but most other important intrinsics are covered for now. Decided to do the sandworm lair next, and it's more difficult than expected. The proliferation of breeder monsters means that every level can suddenly become very dangerous if the first monster to start breeding is a nasty one...

In vanilla ToME, level draining does not allow the player to get more god quests so if the RNG decides to not grant all of them until XL50 you're SOL, which I decided to change. Also, temple quests are based on the prayer skill modifier; in standard ToME it can't be increased if it's already 0.5 or higher, but in ToME-SX it can. In fact, now the RNG was nice enough to grant me a few boosts, but still not nearly enough to actually start pouring points into prayer. Need to conserve my skill points so I can learn the combat, weaponmastery, archery and spirituality skills!

Water bite, and in general Yavanna prayers, seem like a huge waste of time to me since gaining piety is so difficult. Might try to use the Mind school's Charm spell, if that works. Having to spend piety for Yavanna's own charm spell is unworkable especially since overworld swamps don't spawn only melee monsters in SX; venturing there as an XL3 character and spending even a single turn can lead to "It casts a water bolt. --more-- You die." Nope, I'm after the Earth, Nature and Water skills that Yavanna grants; with 100 points of prayer, all of those spell schools are effectively at 50. That said, I'll also need to eventually improve my magic skill so I'll actually have enough mana to cast them. Also I probably won't be needing Earth skill since Thaumaturgy has a nice Area - Wall Creation (a.k.a. Timeout :D) that costs very little mana and gives all the LOS disruption I'll ever need. :-)

Hmm maxing Yavanna piety shouldnt be hard regardless of swamp changes - you need 3-4 grouped animals of sufficient level, voila.
Water bite isnt horrible - I have played druid that way, get combat/weapon mastery, wield a mage staff of power and other + spellpower/mana items like a mage, and cast waterbite before the fight. The damage output is less than a swordmaster, but then you have the utility advantage of all that +spellpower.
What disappointed me about the setup was that AoE effect of water bite is too minuscle to do relevant damage. It only serves to wake up everything around and make sure that they hit you if they are close. I would want to turn it off if I could.

There goes another run. Great equipment, but it didn't save me in the end; it happened so fast that I didn't even see which monster earthquaked me there. However I was having trouble with Rhun's open areas anyway and had to rely on timeout more often than not, plus there were entirely too many hounds on this level. I'll check the message log with my next character unless I forget, so I can see what killed me. Ah well, better luck next time. The thunderlord coat and randart cloak were just too good to pass up despite the disadvantages. :D
