Is it safe to sell books in this one?

[Terrible Timing]

In Kingmaker we've had some books that were a part of a quest. Is there anything I should look out for here or can I just pawn them off without having to worry?

[Laisa]

I'm playing it safe and storing every book I get in my personal chest, just in case

[Mauman]

I don't know if it's safe to sell them (I have let's see if that blows up in my face), but make sure to read EVERY book. And by read, I mean right click and scroll all the way down cuz ha ha I ain't actually reading this ♥♥♥♥.

Quite a few give out permanent bonuses. This shows up as early as Shield Maze with the book about minotaurs giving a permanent UNTYPED +1 to attack with glaives.

Yeah, it's kinda a kick to the nuts that there's no warning about this. Oh, and despite the wording, the minotaur bonus stacks with weapon focus.

[SIlverblade-T-E]

Hm, do the books give bonuses to ALL characters or just the Main?
if just the protagonist, it would suck!

[beerddlovliness]

idk you had to right click on them to consider it reading lol. Why do they open upthe book when you hover over it with the mouse than. I sold all of them. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

You don't need to scroll down, that is incorrect info that circulates around. Not even pick it from the loot container, just right click and read is enough for the feat notification to appear in the log.

I haven't seen any other characters get the bonus, so I think just the main. Game treats them like feats and adds the bonuses to your (and only your) character.

Personaly i like the lore and all, but reading optional random books on the ground feels boring. But I certainly NEVER sell any "unique" item, and until proved otherwise, i take all books as unique.

I discover here that some books give bonuses... omg.

You are indeed correct, just checked :)

Unfortunately that is...not so good for rest of your party, sigh
mechanic is interesting and makes sense, but...much of the abilities aren't of use to my wizard MC, oh well
