Yes. Other caster can contribute spell components
Also, using the Master Craftsman feat in conjunction with the following ruling:
Most of the time, they take the form of spells that must be known by the item's creator (although access through another magic item or spellcaster is allowed). The DC to create a magic item increases by 5 for each prerequisite the caster does not meet. The only exception to this is the requisite item creation feat, which is mandatory. In addition, you cannot create potions, spell-trigger, or spell-completion magic items without meeting its prerequisites.
You can essentially ignore any spell requirement by instead increasing the DC of the check by 5.
Thus you can craft magic gear without actually having any magic.
Also Blacksmith is a profession, not a crafting skill per se.
np :)
For the magus all I'd recommend is investing in an Agile Scimitar or picking up Dervish Dance. At first glance it looks like you still have 1 feat and 18 skill ranks to assign so you should be able to swing it without giving up anything else.
Other good things to look at getting are Pearls of Power, a Wyroot grip for your scimitar, and getting Spell Blending as your first Magus Arcana so you can pick up Mage Armor from the wizard spell list (which is incredibly useful when combined with your spell combat ability).
It appears that I forgot to enter the Dervish Dance feat I had intended (which is why I was a feat short). The Magus arcana I chose was wand wielder to extend my staying power during combat and save my spells for more important things since I have diminished spell casting. I decided not to go the spell blending arcana because I just thought I could get wands and UMD them. I figured the UMD route would work better than taking up my already limited spell slots. I like the item ideas though.
The only problem with that is that you'll need to maintain one free hand to utilize spell combat. I think there's an arcana that'll let you put a wand inside of a weapon but I can't remember it off the top of my head. Of course there could be some other way of messing with the actions to make it so that you can cast a spell from a wand and then still full-attack with spell combat, I haven't ever really looked into it.
EDIT: I was thinking of the weaponwand spell, and since that's on your spell list you should have no problem maintaining a free hand.

Rime metamagic rod (lesser, 3/day) The wielder can cast up to three spells with the cold descriptor per day that entangle creatures that take cold damage from that spell for a number of rounds equal to the spell’s actual level as though using the Rime Spell feat.
Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user to apply metamagic effects to spells (but not spell like abilities) as they are cast. This does not change the spell slot of the altered spell. All the rods described here are use-activated (but casting spells in a threatened area still draws an attack of opportunity). A caster may only use one metamagic rod on any given spell, but it is permissible to combine a rod with metamagic feats possessed by the rod's wielder. In this case, only the feats possessed by the wielder adjust the spell slot of the spell being cast.
Possession of a metamagic rod does not confer the associated feat on the owner, only the ability to use the given feat a specified number of times per day. A sorcerer still must take a full-round action when using a metamagic rod, just as if using a metamagic feat he possesses (except for quicken metamagic rods, which can be used as a swift action).
Lesser and Greater Metamagic Rods: Normal metamagic rods can be used with spells of 6th level or lower. Lesser rods can be used with spells of 3rd level or lower, while greater rods can be used with spells of 9th level or lower.

Azura Cyanea was always a curious child, even for a sylph. She was raised by her human mother, never knowing who her father actually was, but as a young girl she poked her nose everywhere, determined to know everything, while keeping her sylph qualities secret. She told her mother that she felt that knowledge in as of itself would protect her, after all, forewarned is forearmed, however, she failed to comprehend the value of true privacy, and as such, she was quickly singled out and bullied by the other children, fearful of the power she might hold over them with the information she might have gleaned. Things only got worse when she, and the other children got older, and they discovered that Azura had the potential to forecast the weather, leading to even more teasing. Things finally came to a head when a boy snuck in and spied on her as she was changing, seeing her blue markings on her body and realising that she was a sylph. The teasing that followed reduced Azura to tears, and she ran away to be alone.
Upset at what had happened, and unable to face those fellow children, Azura lived alone, writing only to inform her mother of her choice. Azura lived in small wooden house around a forest. Not far from her house, was an overhang, where Skyla would sit and look out across the sky. She would look down across the trees from high above and wistfully wonder what it would be like to fly over them, and to feel the wind rushing through your hair. Now living alone, Skyla forcefully protects her home, and the small part of nature she considers her own.
I took wand wielder as my first arcana.
The weaponwand spell is nifty in itself though. I am wondering how that would work with wand wielder though. The text says that I would be able to use my weapon as a wand to cast the spell, but would I still be able to use it in conjunction with spell combat?
At the end of the spell’s duration, the encased wand is ejected from the weapon. If you have a free hand, you may catch the weapon as a free action; otherwise, the wand drops to the ground. If the weapon housing the wand is broken or destroyed during the duration of weaponwand, the encased wand is similarly broken or destroyed.
The spell says it does not allow me to use my weapons damage in conjunction with the wand's spell. I am wondering if spell combat bypasses that little blurb.
On another note... Now that I have been given the green light for a Drow, I am a bit hesitant. I REALLY like the extra feat and skill point. lol. I love the idea and the RP would be tremendous. I think I will crunch both of them and drop in back grounds for both and see which I like more. I'll resubmit later tonight.
Bah. So this is taking me much longer than anticipated. I hope I make tonight's deadline. I have work so I won't be able to put up the completed char though I will be popping my head in if time permits at work throughout the day. :crosses fingers:

My completed Cleric of Angradd for submission and approval. I used the 8k to purchase the +1 Great Axe and +2 Scale Armor, if that is permissible. I left the traits open for what may be presented or allowed. I am also interested in taking the alternate racial trait of Wyrmscourged, which plays into my background, essentially granting me bonuses and saves against dragon magic and energy weapons. I would swap this out for Hatred, the bonuses granted against traditional Dwarven enemies. With this, I would also ask that Draconic be granted as a possible bonus language, and I would swap Giant for that. Finally, I am considering taking the Crusader Cleric archetype, limiting my domain choices to one, and reducing my spells granted by one per spell level, granting me bonus combat feats instead. How does all this sound? Thanks.

Shame, I had such plans for Ali Ahmed Ibn Ibrahim.
With the recruitment window winding down and a small shuffle in the applicants, I went through the thread and made a list of all the submissions:
Gyro Titanblade - The Big Thing in a Little Package (Titan Mauler Barbarian)
Smaug - The Cantankerous Summoner (Summoner/Thug Rogue)
Derick - The Unlikely Hero (Glory Rogue Bandit/Cutpurse)
Hellad Windburst - The Deadeye (Ranger)

Arlathian - The Spellsword (Kensai Magus)
Arkus Grugal - The Orc-Kin (Polearm Master Fighter)
Azura Cyanea - The Druid of the Lonely Blue (Sky Druid)
And then there's myself which makes a total of 11 applicants for 5-6 slots. If I missed anyone or left anyone out I deeply apologize, it was not my intention. Also there's probably a few people who applied through pm that I can't include.
Good luck to everyone and hopefully we can look forward to playing together!
Awesome. I was interested in a boar mount so the fact that you included that is great! Cheers.
Although its not completely finished, i should really get the crunch up here. Still needs to spend gold, a few feats, and traits.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: A kensai is proficient in simple weapons and in a single martial or exotic melee weapon of his choice (Scimitar). A kensai is not proficient with armor or shields and suffers normal arcane spell failure chance when casting magus spells while armored.
Arcane Pool (Su): At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells.(5/day:1/2 level(2)+Int Mod(3))
At 1st level, a magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +5 at 17th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5. Multiple uses of this ability do not stack with themselves.
At 5th level, these bonuses can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: dancing, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, keen, shock, shocking burst, speed, or vorpal.
Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s base price modifier. These properties are added to any the weapon already has, but duplicates do not stack. If the weapon is not magical, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. These bonuses and properties are decided when the arcane pool point is spent and cannot be changed until the next time the magus uses this ability. These bonuses do not function if the weapon is wielded by anyone other than the magus.
A magus can only enhance one weapon in this way at one time. If he uses this ability again, the first use immediately ends.
Diminished Spellcasting: A kensai may cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if his Intelligence allows bonus spells of that level.
Canny Defense (Ex): At 1st level, when a kensai is wielding his chosen weapon, he gains the canny defense ability. This is identical to the duelist prestige class ability of the same name, save that his chosen weapon may be of any type. When wearing light or no armor and not using a shield, a duelist adds 1 point of Intelligence bonus (if any) per duelist class level as a dodge bonus to her Armor Class while wielding a melee weapon. If a duelist is caught flat-footed or otherwise denied her Dexterity bonus, she also loses this bonus.
Weapon Focus (Ex): At 1st level, a kensai gains Weapon Focus with his chosen weapon as a bonus feat. [Scimitar]
Spellstrike (Su): At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. If the magus makes this attack in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. This attack uses the weapon’s critical range (20, 19–20, or 18–20 and modified by the keen weapon property or similar effects), but the spell effect only deals ×2 damage on a successful critical hit, while the weapon damage uses its own critical modifier. See FAQ/Errata at right for more information.
Magus Arcana: As he gains levels, a magus learns arcane secrets tailored to his specific way of blending martial puissance and magical skill. Starting at 3rd level, a magus gains one magus arcana. He gains an additional magus arcana for every three levels of magus attained after 3rd level. Unless specifically noted in a magus arcana’s description, a magus cannot select a particular magus arcana more than once. Magus arcana that affect spells can only be used to modify spells from the magus spell list unless otherwise noted.
- Wand Wielder: The magus can activate a wand or staff in place of casting a spell when using spell combat.
Perfect Strike (Ex): At 4th level, when a kensai hits with his chosen weapon, he can spend 1 point from his arcane pool in order to maximize his weapon damage. Don’t roll for damage—the weapon deals maximum damage. This affects only the weapon’s base damage dice, not additional damage from sneak attack, magical weapon properties, spellstrike, or critical hits. If the kensai confirms a critical hit, he can instead spend 2 points from his arcane pool to increase his weapon’s critical multiplier by 1.

- Weapon Focus(Scimitar) - You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon.
- Weapon Finesse- With a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
- Dervish Dance - When wielding a scimitar with one hand, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on melee attack and damage rolls. You treat the scimitar as a one-handed piercing weapon for all feats and class abilities that require such a weapon (such as a duelist’s precise strike ability). The scimitar must be for a creature of your size. You cannot use this feat if you are carrying a weapon or shield in your off hand.
- Nimble Moves - Whenever you move, you may move through 5 feet of difficult terrain each round as if it were normal terrain. This feat allows you to take a 5-foot step into difficult terrain.

Range touch

Duration 1 hour
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance no
An invisible but tangible field of force surrounds the subject of a mage armor spell, providing a +4 armor bonus to AC.
Unlike mundane armor, mage armor entails no armor check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, or speed reduction. Since mage armor is made of force, incorporeal creatures can't bypass it the way they do normal armor.

Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Will half (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless);
When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel positive energy that cures 1d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +5). Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds. An undead creature can apply Spell Resistance, and can attempt a Will save to take half damage.

Arlathian is an oddity. An aberration among his people. His upbringing was much like many of the others within the city. A commoner child born to a commoner family housed under a great matriarch of the city. Despite his family's placement, he was still only a male and of no great import. Regardless, he was an odd one. His childhood showed the earliest signs of his separation from this kin. While he showed great promise of martial prowess as well as a keen intellect with a knack for the magical arts, he possessed none of the "normal" signs or desires to improve his station in life. No drive other than that of his own training. This made him a target. An easy mark. Or so the other children though. Arlathian's single minded focus tended to blind him from his surroundings. His dismissal of the political intrigue that so often swelled around him usually placed him right within the path of those playing the game to win. To their dismay, Arlathian tended to come out on top. Many of the top ranked student fighters could not bypass his arcane prowess while those few with the skills of magic could hold back his martial fury. All the while though, Arlathian cared not for any of it. All that mattered to him, was finding that balance. A concept foreign to most drow. Fierce discipline sharpened his mind and body. That discipline is what drew the matron's attention. A rare gem she coveted. The strange child of a lowly family with the potential to achieve great things. She saw him as an easily manipulated tool to bring her own noble family to greater heights within the city. A champion to harold her into newer more lofty positions of power.
Arlathian quickly moved up through the ranks of warriors within the matron's personal soldiers, drawing many spiteful thoughts and hateful whispers through his ascension. The others around him grew increasingly agitated. Time and time again, his malicious peers would painstakingly plan out his demise ranging from accidents to unfavorable odds during patrols up to even direct assassination attempts on his life. The magi always seemed to prevail. The matron looked down upon these events as her house at play and enjoyed the spectacle greatly as attempt after attempt failed miserably.
For decades these "games" played out. Arlathian, though not physically imposing, was as lithe as any and more intelligent than most. He began to develop his own style of combat, blending his skills with a blade together with his knowledge of magic. His eloquence and grace and prowess began to spread beyond his house to the ears of the other matrons within the city. They knew the advantage of having one as skilled as Arlathian leading the troops of this particularly ambitious matron and her troops. That could not stand. The other matrons, set in keeping their seats of power banded together and set plans into motion to tear down their mutual rival down piece by piece. Within a matter of days, Arlathian's home was dismantled. Accidents began taking the most powerful of the females from his house. Then soldiers began to go missing. A few Arlathian noted actually appearing in the house uniform of his matron's rivals. Then came the attack.
That day, a strange order was given by one of the house's elite guards. A contingent of soldiers, Arlathian included, were to investigate a disturbance in the far reaches of the caverns south of the city. Arlathian knew something was amiss when the group moved into a tight tunnel in the further reaches. Areas that the patrol was never meant to go without express instructions from the matron herself. His suspicions were complete when he began to hear one of the casters laying spells of protection on himself, then beginning a second casting on another of the group. This was an ambush. The tidings of a power shift must have been true. As Arlathian turned a sharp bend in the tunnel he spun around and readied himself. When the group rounded the bend, Arlathian realized they had already drawn weapons and expected to make quick work of the unwary Arlathian. Their pray was the quicker.
After the pitched battle, Arlathian emerged the victor. The dying words of the last ambush party hung heavy on him though. The proclamation that his house was gone. He held no real love for his house, but it was all he knew. All he had. With them gone, he would be an exile. Returning was a death sentence as no surviving members of a house were ever left breathing. His hollow victory left only one question. What now? The lone drow turned his attention to the continuing tunnel behind him, back to the drow city. He then looked over his shoulder back the opposite direction. It was rumored that the specific tunnel he stood in was an ancient tunnel to the surface. His limited knowledge of the surface world was confined to the small blurbs he read in his text during his many hours of arcane study. Brief mentions of wizards long past who had created many spells that he now learned were from that foreign world called the surface. Arlathian set his jaw. A lifetime (and a short one at that) of torture before death? Or the chance to expand his horizons and achieve his life's ambition, to perfectly meld the martial and arcane arts into a seamless unity? With a resigned sigh, Arlathian gathered what supplies his slain kin had and began away from his home. He was a survivor, and survive he would.
Btw. I'm lovin the titles. "The big thing in a little package"... my co-worker gave me a weird look when I lol'ed at my station.
=^^=
Alright, then hows this for a title?
(b^.^)b Names are fun d(^.^d)
I hate names :( i can never come up with good, decent names. And when i do, i can never remember them afterwards....
Woe is me...
Keep a pen and paper in your pocket. When you think of something, name or otherwise, jus jot it down. Here is the tricky part though. You have to remember to get said pen and paper and put it in your pocket in the first place. Tricky tricky right?!
It kills time and it makes good practice. I tried my best to come up with something somewhat appropriate for each character based only on what I read/how they where described. Sorry if I misrepresented anything.
I guess my char's personality is a bit lacking from his background. I tried representing him from an outsiders point of view. Returning back to read it though, it seems kinda bland. I am rusty on my writing and it makes me sad. :D
But... I do like the naming descriptors. I actually like mine personally. It is fitting. Strangely enough, the name is very close to his personality. Describes his driving ambition and a bit of his straightforward attitude. Quick and direct.
Honestly when I did yours I was purposefully trying to leave it ambiguous. Since you said you were overhauling your character and also that you hadn't decided on drow or human I didn't want to use anything that could potentially conflict with whatever you planned on writing. Looks like it worked out in the end either way.
After reviewing the entries I have come u with these definates. It is sad that I can't accept all of you, as the submissions are awesome.
Gudbjorn, son of Veigar

Friar Fatling= play off of Friar Tuck from Robin Hood and fatling rhymes with halfling...
I hate names :(
Awesome, thank you, and congrats. I look forward to getting deeper into this. This week is crazy busy for me due to working 15 hour days, but I will keep an eye out at a minimum of daily to contribute whatever is required. As of Friday I will have more free time again. Cheers.
