Muticlassing Ninja, Rogue, and Magus dervish

[Bromton]

So what do you think? 3d6 an attack spell strikes and spell combate.
Geting posoin use and trap finding.
Or should I go wizard and get Arcane Armor Training?

You can't have levels in both rogue and ninja. Ninja is an alternate form of the rogue class.

Do you mean Rogue or Ninja, + Magus?

Because Rogue = Ninja. You can't have levels in both. It would be like multiclassing Blackblade Magus with Hexcraft Magus; you can't multiclass same class.

Mostly right archetypes can stack as long as they don't change the same things. Better to say you can't stack anti-paladin with paladin.

Though ninja isn't technically an archetype (neither is antipaladin, for that matter). They're "alternate classes". And you can't take levels in both an alternate class and its related base class.

That's why I used it.

Best part of this thread is where people argue on how to tell the guy he can't do it.

He's 100% correct

Ninja is an Alternate base class of Rogue,
as stated in APG and UC, Alternate classes
CAN NOT be used or multiclassed with their
base class and vise versa.

These are the Official Rulings, BUT it can
be house ruled by a GM, that it is valid to
take both.

Then it must be Rogue Dervish Magus, Perhaps it might be better to go Dervish magus then get the feat Arcane Armor Training and at second lvl have 6 cantrips to spam and 4 1st lvl spells to cast?

Have to take Magus to second lvl for spell strike.

Throwing in a level or two of rogue types is nice for lots of classes (extra skill options, sneak attack, and evasion), but if you start throwing in too many rogue/ninja levels, then you're really slowing down the already creeping spell progression of the magus; plus you're arcane pool will be too small to be very useful. The problem is that the magus is already a hybrid class . . . .
