My Experiance with a Magus


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Im playing a Kensi Blackbound Magus right now. While the early levels were hard, I really feel like I have hit my stride at 5th. Alot of things came together: I was able to pick up Craft Wondrous Item, my Blade became a natural +2 and my Arcane pool can give +2 enchantments. I feel like a beast that can do anything. In my group, Im filling the role of frontline fighter and the arcane caster.

Anyway just venting, I was curious if I should be able to expect the same though out my levels or will I taper off?

Scarab Sages

I am experiancing much the same with my 6th level bladebound kensai. Looking forward to getting 7th level this coming weeking and gaining access to all the new toys that will come online.

From a pure theorycafting point of view. I don't see the build tapering off if done right. Eventually you'll have weapon mastery and more initiative bonuses than a diviner.

What Feats did you take? Did you take Imp Initiative? I didn't think it was really necessary with the high dex and the class boost to Initiative. I picked up Craft Wondrous Item mostly for Pearls of power but being that my weapon will always be my bladeblade, and Kensi dont wear armor, I will mostly like be spending most of my money here. I feel like it will be a really good investment.

My character is Here.

He's PFS, so crafting feats are unavailable.

No improved initiative. I'll have a +10 initiative at 7th level. It will improve to +12 by 8th level and +13 by 9th level. More would just be overkill.
