So i can still fight with a -2 -2 from spell combat making my 15+2x spell level Check on Concentration like i do.


Hi, last day i was discussing with GM about new PG.

To be short, he claimed that a Magus when attack with spell combat or/and spellstrike, and he cast defensively MUST also Fight defensively, so every magus that fight in close combat MUST take a -6-6 to attack rolls, i know that fighting defensively and casting defensively are two separate things. Who is right?


Yes, you're right XD so once again, did i correctly understand the rules of those two feats? the extra attack thing i mean.

by the way.... i don't want to max out the damage, i like more to focus on the PG Background and interpretation.
I use strenght build magus instead of the dex scimital ultra pro magus, because i like it more :)


So it's the right way to use it together? Am i right?

Never mind for the Errata, i saw this FAQ from the list on the right there( http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/magus )


GOOD! So the errata that i saw doesn't remove this thing, I would see someone from paizo in this post to confirm this for my friends.


Hi,

I've recently find this awesome class, yesterday i was playing Pathfinder with my friends and a question shows up.

I'm a Lv. 2 Magus with Spellstrike and Spell Combat.

Spell Combat allows me to make a standard , touch-ranged spell with my free hand at cost of -2 on each attack ( the regular with my sword and the touch attack with the spell)

Spellstrike allows me to use my sword to discharge my spells.
Quoting: "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."

I'm assuming that if i use Spell combat with spellstrike i can use a touch spell like shocking grasp to make an additional attack to deliver my spell. Attack 1, Spell-Attack 2 (that deliver weapon damage plus spell damage and effect)

SO, for example: My Magus Samuel encounter Xeros a level 1 Warrior.

Initiative Check, Samuel Gets a 15 , Xeros a 16, Whoops!

Let's Start, Xeros approach and attack with his long sword, and does a 10 on dice, plus +4 Strenght +1 Base Attack Bonus =15 too bad, Samuel AC is 17.
Now it's Samuel's turn, Samuels use Spell combat to make a full round action and he can cast his shocking grasp and make one attack with his sword at -2 Penality. So Samuel make his concentration check, and make 8 on dice roll plus +4 from combat casting + 3 Int +2 Caster Level =17 DC is 17, so now he can use spellstrike to deliver this attack instead of his touch attack Right? with, Quoting, "one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell".
So he attack with his long sword with a +4 ( +1 Base Attack and +3 strengh) and he make a 16 on dice -2 from Spell combat, 18 ! GOOD! Xeros has 18 AC so Samuel hit for a 4 +3 of strenght with the sword and release the shocking grasp, 8 electricity damage 15 total damage, xeros is still alive but he's not getting so good, Samuel has still his normal attack with his long sword, he attack for a 18 on dice (-2 from spell combat + 3 strenght +1 BAB) 20, GOOD! Another hit! D8 and a good 6 on dice for a total of 9 Damage , Xeros is defeated.

I don't know if any errata came out from the relase of the ultimate magic, but from what i see i can make 2 attack at level 2 right? First with my sword normally with -2 , the second after the Concentration check to release the spell with a free attack with my sword that also get the -2 from spell combat am i right?
Or i can just cast a touch spell ( with Spell combat) and deliver it with my second attack?
