Hi everyone. Brand new to PF2 & this forum (first post!!).

I'm going to be starting a new PF2 game soon, and I am really excited about playing a melee Magus as I love the gish playstyle. However I've been doing a bit of reading on these forums and others, and I'm a bit concerned about about how action constrained people are saying they are.

As I've never played PF2 before, I don't really know, but I was starting to think maybe this is a problem which overshadows enjoying playing the class. But then I found this thread and was surprised to see so many people list magus as in their top Favourite classes to play.

So, this got me wondering. Would some of you who have played a melee Magus be kind enough to share some of your actual play experience and how you enjoyed it despite the action constraint problem please ?

If it's relevant, I believe we are going to be playing Strength of Thousands, with a 3 person party, and the party composition is not fixed in stone yet but is shaping up a bit like this atm:

  • Human Iron Magus (Str/Con) w/ Wizard FA, and Athletics + guisarme for tripping
  • Catfolk Thaumaturge (Cha/Dex) w/ Regalia, and Intimidate for Demoralize and Thievery for traps
  • Gnome Witch (Int/Wis) w/ Druid FA, and Crafting & Medicine

It's probably a really bad party, as we're all brand new to the game, so any suggestions would also be very welcome.

Thanks so much in advance for any assistance !
