It's backwards and confusing, but the result is correct.

He uses Spell Combat as a full-round action.

He casts Shocking Grasp, which grants him a free touch attack. He can A) roll a d20, making a melee touch attack to deliver the spell, or B) roll a d20, making a melee attack with his weapon to deliver the spell.

If he does A and hits, he delivers the shocking grasp for 2d6. If he does B and hits, he deals weapon damage (1d8+2) and delivers the shocking grasp for 2d6.

That takes care of his casting a spell. Now he gets a full-attack. Since he's level 2, that means 1 attack with his sword. Roll a d20 for a melee attack with his sword. If he hits he deals weapon damage (1d8+2) and if he missed earlier, he also delivers the shocking grasp and deals 2d6.

So he rolls two attacks total. If he hits with both, for the entire round he deals 2d6+2d8+4 assuming no DR, resistance, etc.

What if the Magus in the above example missed with both the casting a spell and the full-attack? I'm guessing the Magus would go into the next round with the spell charge.

So if the he opted for just a full-attack and he hit, he would deliver the weapon damage and the shocking grasp damage (2d6+1d8+2).

But if he opted to take a full round for Spell Combat, used his full-attack and hit (delivering weapon/shocking damage), could he still then cast a spell (another Shocking Grasp) to use Spellstrike again in that same round?

If he could and he hit with both attacks for that round, he would be dealing 4d6+2d8+4 assuming no DR, resistance, etc.

Does that sound right?

Thanks for the responses.

Hey all. First time poster.

If a wizard character were to specialize in one of the 7 Thassilonian schools of magic, would they still get the other powers associated with specializing in a school?

For example, a wizard decided to specialize in Wrath (evocation). Besides getting two bonus spell slots per level (and losing access to abjuration and conjuration), would that character still receive Intense Spells, Force Missile and Elemental Wall at the appropriate levels since they are still an evoker?
