Hi Everyone,

I'm playing a magus for the first time in Pathfinder and ran into a strange circumstance during play. I read the article on touch spells.
http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2nler?A-Guide-to-Touch-Spells-Spellstrike-and-S pell
However it wasn't as clear as either my GM or myself would have liked.

The Scenario is:
turn 1. I use spell combat to cast shocking grasp and miss my attacks.
spell is now just a charge.
Turn 2. i attempt to use spell combat again. trying to use my previously cast spell during the attacks and then cast my new touch spell this round.

Can i get those 2 spell effects off in one turn under this condition?

Thanks so much everyone.

So in the recent advent of the paizo nerfing mounted combat to the point of being useless. I have come to discuss how these nerfs affect those poor knights and even the random npcs that fight on a mount.

Currently they have started to nerf flying mounts that were quite capable and without this new forced feat could do just fine.

what feat you ask?
Monstrous mount

Sure the feat sounds cool and you should be able to get something really cool having to burn a feat right? Not really, it allows you to pick up a griffon, hippogriff, worg or hippocampus. While this is fine on its own, but when you read more into the feat it denies their abilities that they had before this feat's creation.

Now to make this "balanced" they incorporated another feat called monstrous mount mastery. which grants these creatures their abilities that before these two feats had the ability to do.

IF that wasn't enough...
NPCS cannot do mounted charges, if you can't do mounted charges you cannot do spirited charges or ride-by attacks or anything. which leads to the question of why would a country want a cavalry?

No seriously, why would you want to spend the money to board a horse, train a soldier to ride it for a grand total of... +1 attack.

So if anyone reads this, preferably the people remaking the mounted combat rules. Please keep these points i've made in mind. There is a reason that cavalries changed warfare and made history the way it is now.

To everyone, what are your thoughts about this new development? hope to hear from everyone if they have insights, more concerns or even better explanations for these changes.
