Clarification Needed on Spellstrike, Spell Combat and Broad Study


Round 1: Magus


Playing a Magus, if I wish to multiclass to another caster class, how does it mesh with Spellstrike, Spell Combat and Broad Study?

The wording of Spellstrike indicates that it applies only when I cast Magus spells. Meanwhile the wording of Spell Combat has no such limitations, but the wording of Broad Study implies that the limitation should be there. Furthermore, the wording of Broad Study (nor does that of Spell Combat) does not limit the application of Spellstrike/Spell Combat to arcane spells only, which would indicate that a magus multiclassed with for example a divine/other caster could also make use of them, although it does seem to be against the spirit of the class, which is arcane-based. Is it possible to clarify these issues (both now for my purposes and in the final product for the benefit of all players)? Thanks!

Spell combat does indeed limit the use to magus spells only. I already checked that for 2 level dip abusability...and was denied...so that was good.

Broad study can indeed be currently used for divine spells. So you can do magus 6/cleric 4/MT 10 and have fun with broad study.
