Loving the class so far, very inquisitor-like.
But does anyone else feel like the Dubious Knowledge doesn't play well with Find Flaws?
Basically, because Antithesis activates on a successful recall knowledge it's very easy to metagame the knowledge gained; if Antithesis didn't proc then it's false, but if Antithesis did proc then I know for certain that what I learned is true.
Just my 2c.

freeing up dex allows a magus to have ideal stats by investing in str/con/int/wis and further boosting by taking dex and cha flaws (usually for more con)

Negative Dex still reduces your AC even while wearing heavy armor but I 100% agree that sentinel is a great choice for magus for your reason.

Hello, I was wondering it if casting a spell from a scroll and/or staff would count as "casting a spell" for entering the magus' arcane cascade. Scrolls & staves require the "cast a spell" activity to use them but I'm not 100% sure if that's the same for meeting the requirement.

My bigger question is "can you use them with spellstrike"?
I think yes, as it's a Cast a Spell action, but for say, the Flaming Star, would the damage boost apply to the spellstrike's attack or the next Strike afterwards?

I've really warmed up to Twisting Tree, being able to cast from your staff and strike with it really fulfills that class fantasy for me.

Plus, getting 3+ true strikes from divination staff rocks.

Sorry if this doesn't belong here but I confused on the Twisting Tree Magus' staff traits. I know that it's die get increased and gains agile, and you can elect to two-hand it for a bigger die plus more traits. But if I two-hand it, does it keep the agile trait? My gut says no as there's no 2 handed weapons with agile but I'm unsure.

I don't really get the hype for Dirge of Doom. I've only played a mid-level bard, but I've done fine with just standard Inspire + Demoralize, which saves 1 action compared to harmonizing Courage & Dirge. Is there something I'm missing besides AoE frighten?
