[1.0] A RimWorld of Magic

[Jan2607]

Oh, okay, thank you.

Torann, could you please update your first post? There are some classes missing: Bard, Geomancer for example (I don't know, if there are more classes in now). Also the master spells for most of the classes are missing. I always read your first post to decide, which classes I want to use. Any information about them is useful.
And ingame, one arcane script is called "Power", but that is not a name of a class. I think, it's the script for the Arcane mage, right? Would be great, if you could make it clearer

Hello! Is there any way that Rimworld of Magic can be compatible with XXL Stack? From the logs I've read, I think the incompatibility lies with the items that aren't stackable in the mod which causes an error in XXL stack. Thank you for all your hard work! Love the mod.

TheAzn123,
not sure what problems you got.
I just download the B19 StackXXL, installed it and add it to my current colony with Rim of Magic and don't got any errors.
Yes it can be that you can't XXL stuff from the magic category, because that mod don't support new categories.
But that you should suggest to the StackXXL author.

Is it intended that a hostile demon spawns in an outpost without an enemy mage in that outpost?
I had a quest with a torn script reward for destroying an outpost. Send half of my colony with 3 well trained mages, no one came back. The demon is really awesome... unless you have to fight against him...

About Mentoring.
It is a nice thing to level up new caster/fighter.
I recently made a new mage, and was to dumb to order all the older mage to mentor the new ones.
Ofcouse only one could mentor at the same time, and other refuse to mentor it.
But that used up the ability.
I think on a refuse the ability shouldn't get into the cooldown, or maybe only the half of it.

Does anyone have any ideas why a mage pawn does not want to pick up mana potions when ordered to? It happens only to mage pawns (common pawns can get them in their inventories). They pick them up but immediately drop them. Weight is also not an issue.

Attached the mods' config file.

Canute, O, do you happen to have the link to the b19, I downloaded the XXL from github and it says it's the wrong version, which I assume may be the problem. Sorry for the trouble and thank you for the clarification!

Edit: I seem to have found the problem. It's another mod I have called [super soil]. I think I know the solution??? Thanks again!

If you have to fight a demon, your best bet is to debuff as much as possible.  Consciousness or movement can be debuffed until downed through spells like lullaby, siphon mana, death mark, poison, terror (fire mage), and domination.  Ice mages are particularly effective.
It's also possible to 1v1 the demon with a particularly strong fighter.  You can still be knock back/stunned but shouldn't have any fire bolts launched at you within melee range.  You have to keep everyone else at a distance though, or run in 1 at a time, otherwise the demon will fly to the biggest group of enemies.  My preference is bladedancer due to extreme melee dodge rate - they still need support though - thick skin, regenerate, bestow might, AMP, stone skin and transfer mana all provide a big boost to the bladedancer.  Remember that most fighters use Pawn DPS in their ability damage calculations, buffs improve this value and thus add an indirect buff to the fighters capability.
Paladin can sustain a 1v1 fight for some time, but they don't really have the dps or passive bonuses to finish the fight.

If you didn't know:
Siphon mana used on a pawn that doesn't have mana applies debuffs instead and can be lethal if it reaches a high enough severity.
Transfer mana used on a pawn that doesn't have mana applies various arcane buffs.

Or summon some poppies. Everything is better with poppies.

Thank you, will try.
If a magically gifted pawn finishes an unfinished arcane book, it gives a random power, right? I'm searching for a priest for a long time now and couldn't find any. Is it possible to get it this way?

[Canute]

A magical gifted pawn can't finished an unfinished arcane book, because he don't know anything about it so far. So how he could write something about it ? :-)

Only a specilized mage can do this, and then you a geting a book of his class.

[Jan2607]

Well, I tried it, and it worked The finished book had as title and gave a random ability.

[Canute]

Good that you point it out ! :-)
Not very logical, but that say many people about magic anyway, beside the mathemagicans ! :-)
