    Unhappy vote for yes/no q's for tomes!

    I have recently been looting some +2 tomes, while this is good new for me i have accidentaly eaten then b/c my mouse is touchy or i hit the wrong button etc. i believe there should be a "are you sure you want to use this ________ tome" to avoid the acidental eating of tomes wanted otherwise.

    tomes i have accidentaly eaten
    2 +2 strength
    1 +2 intel
    1 +2 con
    2 +1 strength
    1 +1 con

    Saved a +2 wisdom tome for months to give to a buddy when he came back (he loves clerics). He finally came back and my sorc gobbled it down.

    Other than the fact that you don't eat tomes, you read them - I agree with the OP

    I think it would be a good idea to put in that dialogue box... I also think you need to be a bit more careful... That's a LOT of tomes to eat accidently... I did it once.... and have never done it since.

It is like going to a museum and bragging about how fast you made it through. Or bragging about how fast you finished a good steak.

    i've eaten 3 since mod 7 came out. i think that the right click autoattack is effecting the left click select (so that when you are clicking something it double clicks). it isn't just tomes though, its pots too (though they aren't nearly as valuable as the tome).

    /signed - we need less confirmation boxes and more awareness from players - can we remove some of the confirmations that we have added?

    I agree with you, but also think that you should lay off the jolt cola abit as well I'd be crying if I used that many tomes by accident because your oops list is longer than my pulled list.

    lmao, how can you possibly have been clumsy that much? I've never read one accidentally, but yes, I handle them with extreme care and a y/n wouldn't hurt.

    Sure, why not? That also might be a convenient place to remind you if you've used a tome on that ability before.

    Default vote yes to confirmation

    I did this once on my very first looted +2 tome that I had finally gotten after 2 years of playing the game. Inadvertent mouse click when trying to send it to another character and ooops--+2 con tome sent into the ether, consumed by a character who had used a +2 con tome from 1750 favor. I tried to get the DM to reverse it so I could use it on the character intended, told them it was an honest mistake and they said (paraphrase): tough shizzle, players are responsible for their own actions honest mistake or not take it or leave it not my problem. I nearly quit the game over that, not just the frustration of losing a tome I had waited 2 years to get but the indifference of the DMs. We pay to play this game, you would think they would be more understanding but I guess not.
