I've read a few posts in this thread regarding how limited the magus is with 3/4 BAB. However, I'm wondering how accurate that statement is based on the following:
1. 1 AP every 4 levels grants +1 to your blade (for 1 minute). Which is not adding to BAB but stacks with your present weapon bonus. You can swap out +1's for keen, frost, fire etc.
2. Arc Accuracy swift action adds int to hit for 1 round.
3. Agile weapon (dex to damage)
4. spell storing weapon (single targeted spell of up to 3rd level)
5. spell strike (deliver touch spells through blade)
6. spell combat (as previously defined.)
So round 1 - swift action add +1/4 levels, cast touch spell & hold charge. Move into attack position +5 feet. I usually choose +1 keen
Round 2 - swift action +int to hit, step forward deliver full round attack (with power attack), cast on defensive, and incorporate additional touch spell attack into enemy.
At level 10, my current magus/kensai
To hit = Base 7, +4 Dex + 2 sword, +5 arc acc, -2 spell combat -2 PA = 14
first hit = TH 14, 1d8 + 10, + 10d6 intensified sh grasp, + 5d4 magic missile (stored in blade)
second hit = 9, 1d8 +10
spell combat hit = 14 1d8+10, + 10d6 intensifed sh grasp
on Crits blade x2 can be made x3 with 2 ap from Kensai. Spell criticals are x2 only.
The max possible damage - 40d6 + 5d4 + 9d8 + 90.
However unlikely it may be as my d20 rolls are abysmal normally.
