Oracle Spell Selection (Dual-Cursed)


Rules Questions


I play a dual-cursed metal oracle. The Dual-cursed archetype replaces the first 3 bonus mystery spells. Can I choose to take both the archetype and mystery spells? For example the DC archetype makes you take ill omen at level 2 but can I also take lead blades from the metal mystery (the spell I'd normally have to take at level 2)? Or am I only allowed to pick non-mystery spells from the oracle spell list?


If the archetype replaces something you have to use what it gives you. There's no provision for switching back and forth, save with one specific Monk archetype.


I wasn't trying to switch back and forth. I know one of my level one spells has to be Ill Omen. I'm asking if I have an option to choose lead blades as one of my other level one spells or if I can only choose from the non-mystery oracle spell list.

You do not, unfortunately. They aren't added to the list of spells an oracle can choose from - only to your personal spell list (which the archetype negates).

I figured this was most likely the answer. Oh well, thanks for the clarification.
