I’m pretty sure you can loose your spellbook. Back in original DF you were then screwed as there was no opion to buy a new one.

Well of course you can justify it this way, but it feels very awkward gameplay-wise to me, given the fact that later you are able to preserve this spellbook (and any book) under any harsh circumstances. Ok, you might say it's rather a matter of gameplay simplicity, but there is another consideration: shouldn't pure-mage PC remember spells after many years of practicing, after all? Isn't spellbook just a simple reminder from an in-game/Lore perpective?Dubiousintent wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 11:24 pm How? Just put "Missing" or "water soaked and illegible" or a blank page into the contents in place of any spells. No different than having a Inventory button that displays nothing because you do not have the appropriate items.
we're definitely going to open Pandora's box with topic like this, haha. Have to check if this still holds in DFUBack in original DF you were then screwed as there was no opion to buy a new one.
I think one of the patches applied to Daggerfallsetup.exe fixed it by having the magical item shop in the mages guild sell a spellbook.L57 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 6:35 amWell of course you can justify it this way, but it feels very awkward gameplay-wise to me, given the fact that later you are able to preserve this spellbook (and any book) under any harsh circumstances.

But then again...

This is good, sounds like this way it will work with custom classes as well or even modded default class types as it doesn't care about the class type but looks at the lower skills used to decide.
