Magus Spellblade + Sneak Attack

[Phasics]

Ok Magus Spellblade gets force athame at 2nd level

which creates a 1d4+1 force dagger sacrificing a level 1 magus spell.

Now if you took level of a class like rogue with sneak attack would this produce a good source of force damage ?

1d4+1+9d6 force dmg sneak attacks ?

[The White]

Wouldn't the 9d6 still be precision damage? So you would end up with 1d4+1 force + 9d6 precision.

@The White: Precision is not a type of damage.

Well if you think sneak attack is a reliable source of damage then sure. I will respectfully disagree that this is the case. Some sad areas where this will not work that you'd expect it to are when dealing with incorporeal creatures (a ghost touch dagger would IIRC allow sneak attack while simple force damage does not).

Most of the time I think you'd be better off with two levels of rogue than a two level dip in magus, and I never advocate levels of rogue due to hating the class.

[The White]

This is why I phrased it as a question, because I wasn't 100% sure, just working based on assumptions from things like critical hits not multiplying precision damage

[Phasics]

perhaps it would work better with another class that can add a lot of bonus damage to the weapon being used.

Force damage is nice because it bypasses DR and almost no monsters have resist force or are immune to force.
