Merged Spellbook

[MuskelBiber]

Greetings , I have a dumb question .

Do I miss a lot if I am not playing with a merged spell book?

I try to play without guides and builds ( but its hard so much stuff to learn )

I was playing as Paladin ( Angel Path ) and was enjoying it but than i heard the stuff about merged spellbooks and how great it is with Oracle/Cleric

So i don't know if should respecc because everyone says how spectacular it is.

Normally i wouldn't even know about the merged spell book stuff and stayed paladin till the end.

Merged spellbook has a benefit to casters plus access to stronger spells earlier, but you don't miss out on any spells.

Merged spellbooks benefits:
1. larger spellpool since you can use your normal spell slots for angel spells.
2. More spellslots in general since Angel has their own.
3. Earlier access to stronger spells since Angel adds caster level to an existing caster.

You are perfectly fine playing Paladin Angel. No need to respec. You don't miss out on anything. Merged spellbook is great for when you play a caster. You don't need it if you play a martial. So you're totally fine. My single full Angel playthrough is a Paladin as well.

One thing to note though is that if you go Legend Path or Gold Dragon Path and you do start with Angel then it's wise to take a full divine caster like cleric, druid, shaman or oracle. Because merged spells stay after switching your mythic path.

My Gold Dragon playthrough was a Druid with Angel start taking Merged Spellbook so I retained the Angel spells after switching to Gold Dragon. It was pretty awesome.

The three biggest pros are the earlier access to high level spells, the ability to use abundant spell casting feat on mythic spells and the ability to cast level 10 spells at mythic rank 9 so you can actually use them before the game is pretty much over.

Do you enjoy the game? If so, try something different in a different run. Each mythic path has unique material, and even without those mythic quests, some paths alter how the story progresses. Plus, of course, you can have different companions to see their various reations and interactions.

If you don't think you'd enjoy a second run, then IMO, it's not critical to play a merged spellbook. My irrelevant experience - first three runs did not have a merged spellbook (even though one was a Angel to Legend run). Took a long break and just now coming back to the game. Intending to go merged Lich.

Thanks for the explanation!
