Advice


Hey there so I'm currently a level 2 Eldrich archer Magus whom uses chakrams (basically shooting for the whole KH2 Axel thing) and I was wondering if you guys could help me out going further down the level chain. Should I stick with Magus or would it be beneficial for me to multi/prestige at all? In a nutshell Axel is a Fire assassin that uses chakrams and speed to kill his opponents he uses fire Margaux as well.


Funnily enough an eldritch archer magus isn't going to be amazing with fire spells. I guess you can use spell combat to cast flaming sphere while throwing chakrams at the enemy from level 4, or similarly with fireball from level 7. However using ranged spellstrike with scorching ray or similar is fairly useless because it turns from a touch attack to a regular attack, and the extra 1d8+X damage usually isn't enough to justify that.

Speed though they can do. Expeditious retreat, cat's grace, haste. Would these be enough to keep you in the class?

Prestige classes won't help much with that. Dropping any further levels of magus and going into another class entirely, using the magus levels only for occasional minor buffs is possible. If fire is the most important thing to you then you could try the kineticist class or maybe bloodrager.

BTW, what's a fire Margaux?


Was just curious if there was anything out there that would be cool but Magus might still be the best choice but thanks also auto correct gone wrong
