What races have the Magus as a favored class?


Rules Questions


I can not find the answer to this question and I would like to know what races have the Magus class as a favored class?

You're thinking Pathfinder Alpha or 3.5. Nowadays favored class is decided totally by the player character not by a race.

Or in short, you can choose any base or core class to be a favored class for any character, regardless of race.

If you're thinking of alternative favored class bonuses, none. Because those bonuses were set in the Advanced Players Guide, and haven't been updated for anything that came out afterwards.


and in the case you were thinking in terms of do any races get alternate favored class benefits for magus, such as half orcs being able to select an extra rage round when they choose barbarian as favored, i dont beleive any do.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I think he's asking about specific FC bonuses... (that replace the 1 hp/skill choice)
I'm not sure any have been printed yet.

I think the race book that is coming out have them.

I asked Mr. Bulmahn this question at Gen Con last year and he said they'll be in the Advanced Race Guide.

I would imagine that Elves would be among that list.

This.

Magus came out after the APG (the only book to have alternate FC bonuses thus far), so there are none at the moment.

But the Advanced Races Guide will have such options for every main race for every class, so wait till then and you're good.

I found the answer I was looking for:

Favored Class

Each character begins play with a single favored class of his choosing—typically, this is the same class as the one he chooses at 1st level. Whenever a character gains a level in his favored class, he receives either + 1 hit point or + 1 skill rank. The choice of favored class cannot be changed once the character is created, and the choice of gaining a hit point or a skill rank each time a character gains a level (including his first level) cannot be changed once made for a particular level. Prestige classes (see Prestige Classes) can never be a favored class.
