Hi all. I'm currently about to join in on a carrion crown game at the beginning of book 4 (all they've done so far in the fight against the assassin/ghouls in the barn). I was considering trying a magus but i wanted the character to feel a little more interesting. So i was considering trying a Magus7/cleric2 (so i can get medium armor from the magus) to start as they are 9th level, taking cleric 3rd level for 10th then going straight into mystic theurge. The goal is for him to be 3/5 caster 2/5 melee with a more offense tone.
So basically I was wondering if anyone had any advice on a good race, feat build, god, gear setup....or even if the idea was worth trying at all. So far all i was thinking was Samsaran for race for the +2 int/wis but i have anything paizo published at my disposal. Anyway any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

I don't think it's a good idea.
1) You get the MT ½ BAB and 1d6 HD's - bad for any melee type. You lose favorit class (1 extra HP/lvl) - another minus.
2) You loose stall the magus spell casting and more importantly higher level power - imp spell recall (!), heavy armor casting.
3) You only gain a few low level cleric spell. You don't get the lvl 8 cleric domain power - and the channeling will be a joke.
Since you are way behind i cleric casting you just get acces to a few low level spells that you don't really have time to cast anyway - bull str? Divine favor - Defending bone is nice - if you start as a cleric - but not this late in the campagin.
Carrion Crown stops at around lvl 15 - so you end up with lvl 4 cleric spells - and since you just made a MAD char your DC's isn't going to be worth a damn.
4) If you just go magnus all the way (with the almost mandatory sorc dip - if you want him optimized) you get more haste/day and you continue to add bonus to your weapon with your arcane pool.
5) Magus is 75% melee and 25% caster - if you want more caster - go for a full caster - even a sorc/cleric/MT would be better than mixing Magus and cleric IMHO.
6) maybe a oracle dip with wind mystery - Votex spells revalation would be worth it with the magus spellstrike ability - even undeads can be staggered...
