Personally, I would be inclined to take another monk archetype besides the Weapon Master - especially since Quarterstaff Master is already giving you access to Weapon Specialization. I'm quite partial to the Maneuver Master myself, but it would be criminal of me not to mention Master of Many Styles -> Crane Style, which works well with a magus.
I will look into them.
I'm confused by a few things.
How are your stats generated (point buy or roll)? why did chose specific stats over others (I would have wisdom over dex and int myself)?
Why do you have Two-weapon fighting? Flurry of blows covers that.
How do you envision your character? are you trying to get in, hit the target and get out? or do you want to sit there and exchange blows?

I rolled them. honestly I do not remember. I had made this as an NPC for a campaign that I was setting up. At the time I had not rolled him as a gestalt at the time. I converted him into a gestalt as a test run.

lol That is way I am asking for advice I mist that one.

Truly If it is a open combat he would be a mobile fighter. I was looking for the Not a fighter at all look. I also was trying to make the best Quarterstaff character I could as fun for the most part.
Idea craft custom magical Item a Shillelagh Quarterstaff. :)
How much for a quarterstaff like this :hum +3 or +4 equivalent.
Why do you have Two-weapon fighting? Flurry of blows covers that.
Wait Don't I need two weapon fighting as a Prerequisite for feats like two - weapon defiance??
Yes if you wanted two weapon defence, you would need two weapon fighting. I don't think 1 ac is worth wasting 2 feat slots for.

The Shield spell gives better AC and I think the AC bonus from Staff Magus is also a Shield Bonus so it would't stack.
Also, Shillegah doesn't work on magic staves so it would me outclassed quickly by raw bonuses for to hit and damage and/or apropiate elemental damage.
Remember, you can have a defensive end, with the defensive property and an offensive end, wich you actually use to attack.

True if it was all about Two weapon Defense. The question was why I wanted two weapon fighting if Flurry of blows does it all anyway. Flurry does not meet the Prerequisites of any of the two weapon feats. Double Slice, Two-Weapon Rend, Two-Weapon Feint, all require TWF.

This is what I would do I think. Though I probably wouldn't take magus if this was my character. Magus's spell strike and monk's flurry just seem to be in contention with each other to me.

Double slice is already taken care of with flurry too. I would not be planning on feint in any build not using precision damage.
Not having rend is a loss though. But you need to be 15th level to even think about it. I think there are better options.
As I said first attempt at a gestalt and this is a modified NPC. After readding throw the comments (thanks by the way to every one) I thing I need to rebiuld Stick from the ground up.
character name Stick
Age 60 +
little to now magic
no armor
"walking" stick is the only weapon
I am looking at free handed fighter and magus
or Moblin Fighter and ????
If you want little to no magic, I wouldn't run him as a magus. Both of those archtypes (mobile or free hand) look really cool for one of the classes. I'll throw out some ideas in a little while when I have more time to post.
mobile fighter monk seems the best maybe
Flowing monk has stood out to me as a strong archtype that may fit what you are looking for. Still looking for what to combine it with. Maybe paladin.

This character is going to be the best friend of any rogue in the group granting attacks of opportunity and flat footed foes for them to tear up.
Thank you greatly Rylar.
so the flurry of blows makes two weapon fighting not needed? I will need to look up most of the suggestions on the SRD.
