This is going to be lengthy, so apologies in advance:
I built a psychic out of curiosity, and enjoyed it to some extent, but found the direction I want to go in is more complimented by the Psychic Detective Investigator archetype. Unfortunately this character is already level 2, so I can't just un-do some things, and besides it wouldn't be completely gimped in both directions, just the one I'm less interested in.
My problem comes when I put in my level of PsD as I would now have both a pool of Inspiration (I took the Amateur Investigator archetype, so no prob there) and two pools of Frenic points. Which do I draw on?
Also, the Psychic Detective says:
"Spell Casting
A psychic detective casts psychic spells drawn from the psychic class spell list and augmented by a select set of additional spells (see Psychic Detective Spells). Only spells from the psychic class spell list of 6th level or lower and psychic detective spells are considered to be part of the psychic detective’s spell list. If a spell appears on both the psychic detective and psychic class spell lists, the psychic detective uses the spell level from the psychic detective spell list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a psychic detective must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s level. The saving throw DC against a psychic detective’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the psychic detective’s Intelligence modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a psychic detective can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. She knows the same number of spells and receives the same number of spells slots per day as a bard of her investigator level, and knows and uses 0-level knacks as a bard uses cantrips. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence score.
At 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter, a psychic detective can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows, using the same rules as a bard.
In effect, the psychic detective loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least 1 level lower than the highest-level spell the psychic detective can cast.
A psychic detective need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any psychic detective spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up her allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.
"
I already draw spells from the Psychic spell list as this character would be Psychic 2/Psychic Detective 1. Do I use both spell lists, only the bard list as directed above, or do I now have effectively two pools of spell slots , one with slight more than the other, with one drawing from the Bard list and one drawing from the Psychic list?
Thanks all for the help, and apologies/digital meds for the migraines some of you may get!
