Magus / Alchemist, TWF, Vestigal Arms, and Spell Combat


Rules Questions


If you're a magus with two levels in alchemist with the Vestigal Arm discovery, can you use one of your hands to cast a spell and the other two to fight with Spell Combat, wielding two weapons, since you now have three hands?

I'm not planning a build like this or anything, I am just wondering if anyone else thought up this combo yet.

By RAI no, but it might work by RAW.

Sure, as long as at least one weapon you use is one-handed or light. The extra arm can wield a weapon and I don't see any text that prevents it casting spells.

This was discussed at length in the playtest and not changed, so I am not sure of the source of a presumption that it was unintended.
