@Eckard: AFAIK this addon should still work for the current game release.

Does this still work? I don't know if any updates have had any impact.

@Pyresryke: No, this addon does not alter any of the rank-based constraints on what bodies you can possess.

Does this let you possess unique boss rank enemies?

It does indeed seem to be fixed after a couple of hours of playing. Thanks a bunch.

@Cryse: Not necessary; I found the code in the game that was enforcing what you describe. Release 2.2.2 should bypass that cap.

Could I possibly send you my save file to make things easier for you? Or are saves locked to your account in ToME?

@Cryse: That's… odd. I'll investigate.

No worries! Thanks for getting a fix out so fast.

The fix seems to have worked so far, however I'm running into a different issue (though perhaps it's intentional?). I've noticed that while bodies can now indeed be healed, their healing doesn't seem to persist once you stop assuming its form.

For example, I'll assume the form of a stone giant (or whatever that default body is) with around 60 health left. I'll heal it up to its maximum of something like 130, but once I stop assuming its form and possess it again, it will go back to having only 60 health, and it is displayed as such in the body selection menu as well.

@Cryse: That's exactly the information I needed. Release 2.2.1 should fix the error. We Apologize for the Inconvenience.™

Ah, I didn't realize that only the bottom part of the log was the error. I thought that the entirety of the text file would had to have been posted, which I thought to be too large to be appropriate to post.

Anyway, here's the error log.

The game runs into an error when trying to display the description for "Possess" on the level up screen when you mouse over it. Trying to click through it will just soak up your class points.

Playing it feels like cheating. I can hobo rush(left click) anything and everything and Auto attack to victory barely breaking a sweat.

Yeah Kode-Man is right.

All this addon does is, essentially, make Early Game Possessor more powerful while enabling Late-Game Possessor to keep its favorite bodies.

Late-Game you should be Possessing creatures that have Shields or other Damage Mitigation Talents that effectively make it so you don't lose HP.

Yeah it is kinda "cheesy" since you don't really have to worry about losing your OP bodies but you're just going to get more so what's the point?

Add-On is great if you want to have Possessor play like it did in the previous ToME games.
Kode-Man 10 Feb, 2018 @ 1:32pm 
No its not

in the older tome games and games in the same type of engine the possesor had no limits on healing since it was so important since consumibles were a thing.

now it might not be balanced but nothing in this game can compare to playing archmage if you play the most optimal way.

so its just changes how you would play possesor to the old way to play it yet the power bump it gets would not beat archmage played perfectly?

is that what you call cheating? a slight power bump? and it affects early game more then late game.

Just a cheating addon
