So considering this below, which I found on the d20pfsrd:

What kind of action is it to remove your hand from a two-handed weapon or re-grab it with both hands?

Both are free actions. For example, a wizard wielding a quarterstaff can let go of the weapon with one hand as a free action, cast a spell as a standard action, and grasp the weapon again with that hand as a free action; this means the wizard is still able to make attacks of opportunity with the weapon (which requires using two hands).

Would it be fair to assume that a Magus using Spell Combat could attack with a weapon two-handed, switch to one-handed to cast the spell, and return to two-handed wielding after the spell is cast? I know it'd still earn the -2 penalty on all attack rolls and all that.

Does that seem right?

Me again with more Magus questions.

Pretty sure this is green, but I just wanted to make sure before I start knocking people around. If a Magus were to cast Force Punch via Spellstrike, and used the Toppling Spell to knock people over, would that work right?
I didn't see anywhere in the description of Spellstrike that said you could or couldn't use Metamagic feats on spells delivered through your weapon. Force Punch is a touch attack, and has the Force descriptor... so it's good to go, right?

Right?

I know for things like Bucklers, the shield is strapped to your arm and cannot be easily dropped. Other shields only require a move action to don or drop. Does that also apply to tower shields?
Also, I'm assuming that you're still considered to have the tower shield strapped to your arm, correct? It doesn't just stand on it's own, right?

So, as far as I can tell, for the Bladebound archetype (Magus) it says you can use any one-handed slashing weapon, rapier, or cane sword. It doesn't specify if you are able to select exotic weapons or not, or if you'd require the proficiency feat for that weapon. I know it's probably super original, but I'd like to have a Bladebound with a katana.

Thanks in advance for any help!
