Are younstacking concentration because you are wearing heavy or medium armor? I don't believe the magus has a concentration check if in light armor.

Thank you for your solutions, What I think I will do is swap out the Exotic weapon Proficiency, since I cant have it, for Combat Casting. I will simply buy a long sword , and wait for 3rd level to take Exotic weapon proficiency

All this talk of swords. Have any of you looked at using a flail? I went with it as I can disarm melee classes, trip things if needed for op attacks, and still get the 1d8 DMG. My backup weapon is a 2h reach weapon. Then I can flank from an extra 5 feet and not need to cast defensively if I am casting. I can still use spell strike through the 2h'er if I want.

Just some options to consider.

The way I read the two is Spell Combat is what allows the Magus to cast a spell and attack with a weapon (with penalities) in the same turn as a full attack.

Spellstrike on the other hand allows the Magus to cast the spell and "deliver the spell through ANY weapon as part of the melee attack".

So Spell Combat allows for the casting of the spell during my full round of actions, then the Spellstrike allows it to be one melee attack roll to deliver the damage of both the weapon and the spell (I am figuring I still have to take the -4 on the melee attack roll)

I am wondering if the Spellstrike feature would allow for the use of the 2H weapon attack. It simply says you have to cast the spell and then channel it through your weapon as part of the melee attack. So holding my 2H weapon in one hand, I cast the spell and then grab with two hands bashing the snot out of my foe.

Does anyone know if this has been discussed and if it is allowable?

I fell Spell Combat is very clear you have to have a hand free to use the two attacks. Spellstrike is not as clear.

Spellstrike only allows for the use of "Touch" spells. So I dont see this is relevant since you cant use ranged spelss with spell strike.
