The Temple of Elemental Evil

Double Blackmail

invalid@example.com (gibberishh) — Sat, 07 Dec 2024 11:41:50 +0000

This may or may not be well known already; I've just discovered that I can blackmail Rannos and Gremag twice.

I took the quest from Burne, questioned Jayfie and got him to spill the beans. Everything's normal so far. Now instead of hunting down the courier (as many guides suggest), I went and blackmailed Gremag. Opted for 100gp (or 50 without diplomacy).

Then I went and found the courier who also spilled the beans. Went back to Gremag, and the courier-related blackmail dialog was now...

Complete list of Reach Weapons?

invalid@example.com (ChaunceyK) — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 12:23:38 +0000

Anyone know of one? Its kinda hard to tell based solely on appearance, as a Great Sword (for instance) looks as long as a Guisarme.

Hey @Beren. I am currently following your walkthrough for ToEE. This is my first time playing the game. So far I must say the pace of the game is a little infuriating but your walkthrough has been excellent.

One minor errata: In the party guide, https://sorcerers.net/Games/ToEE/Walkthrough/PartyGuide/Alliria.php, for druid you list Spell Focus: Summoning at 3rd level. This should be Spell Focus: Conjuration.

A couple of notes: St. Cuthbert, I was...

TOEE Level Cap Remover Version 0.11(need help)

invalid@example.com (Impishness3) — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 21:36:56 +0000

About a week ago I ran across a lvl cap remover available for TOEE. http://duggelz.home.comcast.net/toee/
It's apparently made by somone already experienced in mods/editors(also created JA2 Jape savegame editor)
Now the only problem I have is that I haven't gotten it to work as of yet. It is supposed to work with the new patch as well as the CO8 unofficial patch version 3.x. I have been trying to get it to work with...

Temple+ CO8 bug?

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Tue, 23 May 2023 06:02:13 +0000

Ok, so using CO8 I changed up the party groupings from 5pc/3npc to 4/4 with a plan to get Meleny; Pishella; Serina and her sister Riana. What I did with the gypsy sisters last time was had Serina level as sorcerer to give a bit more arcane magic. Her rogue levels were the bomb in the fire temple with fireballs flying everywhere. Riana I had level as Bard, but she too was largely immune to fireball-type attacks thanks to there rogue evasion. I had Zaxis the bard, and Elmo in the party while...

I got the new ToEE dual slipcase set for 5E

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 16:38:03 +0000

I found the new ToEE for 5E dual slipcase on Amazon for $52 so I nabbed it. It just arrived. I need to dig into it. I have the ancient 1E module and the Troika game, I was considering hybriding those and the Return to ToEE module (at least some of the concepts like Tharizdun being the main big baddy - temple priests running around with fiery-eye cloaks is totally him.)

D&D the last few years has been doing a lot with dead gods trying to resurrect themselves in various ways and Tharizdun...

Moon Ivy armor item code?

Does the moon ivy armor have an inside item code? One you could use with the console commands?

Co8 installation question

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 03:28:21 +0000

Ok, so I'm back and wanting to play through ToEE again. I'm trying to install things on my new(er) computer rather than my more ancient "gaming" machine which hasn't gotten entirely unpacked yet after my recent move. Reading the instructions for installing CO8 it says you should install the game directly to your C drive as the newer versions of Windows do not like a program in the Programs folder changing itself while running. I'm running Win10 and have the GoG version of the game. So what...

Does ToEE run on Windows 10?

invalid@example.com (Eyebreaker7) — Sun, 05 Dec 2021 06:47:01 +0000

I was going to buy it from gog and just happen to think about doing a search to see if it would even run on Windows 10. I found a bunch of posts about it having problems. Has anyone gotten it to run on Win 10? If so how?

Playing just the basic game downloaded from GOG

invalid@example.com (garyd) — Wed, 30 May 2018 10:49:21 +0000

One brief question for now, what weapon focus should I take to be able to have it apply to that master work two handed maul? I couldn't find Maul or two handed maul on the list. There are however great hammer and great club on the list.

Pishella's spells - can I change her sorc spells?

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 17:49:34 +0000

I decided to recruit Pishella to be party Wizard/crafter but finding some odd things about her. I had her craft scrolls for some of her Sorc spells she doesn't know as a Wiz = Magic Missile and Charm Person - with the hope that I could have her scribe those scrolls into her Wiz spell book, but it seems it's a no-go. Any clue what that's about? But what I really need is somebody to help me figure out how to change up her Sorc spells, anyone understand specifically how to do that?

My playthru of TOEE/Co8

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 07:11:02 +0000

I should probably note right out front that there will be spoilers in here?

Ok, so this wasn't the first time I started the game. I picked it up for the first time a bit after release with all the horrid bugs. I ran into Zaxis the bard on my first run up to Emridy Meadows and he picked up ALL of the skeleton trash and complained and complained about it. I GAVE him items like a bow so he'd have ranged capability and he sold that, but the trash he STOLE from me he wouldn't sell. I eventually...

Changing PC alignment?

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 19:50:10 +0000

supposedly via this command:

game.party[X].stat_base_set(stat_alignment,Y)
1 = LN
2 = CN
4 = NG
5 = LG
6 = CG
8 = NE
9 = LE
10 = CE

you can change a PCs alignment, but it's not working for me. Can anyone take a guess what I might be doing wrong? I keep getting a feedback message that reads "Traceback (most recent call last): File "", like 1, in ?" - without the outer quotes.

I am trying to change my main PCs alignment from CG to NG so I won't run into the bug using Scather vs...

Hezrou Stench Bug

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Sun, 10 Sep 2017 01:14:33 +0000

One of my characters is inflicted with the Hezrou Stench. It comes back and restarts every time I move to a new map. I've had Jaroo cure it several times but it restarts as soon as I leave his house. Any ideas? I tried Greater Dispel and Cure Disease and Remove Curse. It also comes back and restarts it's 100 turn timer every time I save the game.

Invisible Sorcerer

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 02:35:57 +0000

somehow my sorcerer(ess) seems to have become permanently invisible. Oddly it doesn't seem to affect enemies being able to hit her whenever they want, but the look is disconcerting. Anybody got any advice on how I can fix it? She's only mostly invisible, not totally invisible. But highlighting her ava lists "Invisible" at the bottom of her name and level.

Cleric/Druid and armor

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Sun, 27 Aug 2017 04:51:36 +0000

so in TOEE/Co8 if you multiclass a druid with cleric and wear metal armor will it prevent Druid spell casting? I'm curious if for instance one multiclassed Meleny with cleric and put her in the Marauder armor that she normally couldn't wear would it cause trouble with her druid spells? Presumably it would prevent her from shapeshifting once she gets that but my experience is that no computer game has ever gotten druid shapeshifting correct.

Ok, with a quick test with Meleny I console'd her...

Walkthrough NPC list update?

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 00:23:21 +0000

http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/ToEE/Walkthrough/PartyGuide/NPCList.php somebody needs to update this list. Some of the ability scores are in the wrong order: for instance Meleny's wisdom and charisma are reversed, Besides that, the numbers aren't often correct. I don't know if there is a way to read the NPC data from inside the meta-data, but somebody industrious could figure out the NPCs stats by watching what they start at on the levels where you get an ability point to spend...

Monk weapons?

invalid@example.com (WickedPrince) — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 23:53:41 +0000

Ok I'm being confused by the monk weapon list and the special monk weapon list, especially after I found the shopkeeper in Nulb who sells all the cool monk weapons. Which monk weapons can be used with Flurry? And which of the weapons he sells can be used with Flurry and don't require Exotic Weapon Prof?

Also, does anyone know where I can get a Kama in the game? I didn't see one in the special start-up area or anywhere else in the game so far.

Infinite Gold (without cheating!)

invalid@example.com (spmdw45) — Wed, 28 Dec 2016 13:11:29 +0000

This may be well-known already, but I didn't see it posted in any of the "tips and tricks" threads:

One well-known way of getting infinite gold at level 1 is to find someplace free to rest and have your cleric cast as many Bless Water spells as he can, then sell them all to the Church or Burne for 8-ish GP each (depending on Appraise skill). This technically works, but is a huge hassle because of all the resting and spell-casting, plus the fact that holy water doesn't stack means it takes...

Draw weapon while moving?

invalid@example.com (The Druid Elkan) — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 21:27:38 +0000

According to page 108 of the ToEE game manual:

"2. If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you can combine one of these actions [draw a weapon or ready/loose a shield] with a regular move. If you have the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, you can draw two light or one-handed weapons in the time it would normally take you to draw one."

I'm pretty sure that neither Troika nor Co8 provided this option in-game. Is there a mod or something that allows a player to do this?
