magus 9th level feat suggestions

[Lobolusk]

A buddy just leveled up. he was wondering what 9th level feat would work he is looking at lunge. I am going to get a complete feat list today. I have no experience with the Magus what so ever so I am not knowledgable on what feats to take?

[Lobolusk]

feat list is as follows

Armor Proficiency (Light)
Armor Proficiency (Medium)
Extra Arcane Pool
Improved Initiative
Intensified Spell

Martial Weapon Proficiency - All
Simple Weapon Proficiency - All
Spell Penetration
Toughness +9
Weapon Focus: Scimitar

[StreamOfTheSky]

Improved Familiar (you HAVE one, right? Please tell me you have one..) or Lunge are both good choices. Since you have the Scimitar, consider Weapon Finesse + Dervish Dance if you have a higher dex than str, though if you're level 9 already and not doing that, probably doesn't apply to you.

[Lobolusk]

thats all? bump

[Drothmal]

Lunge is arguably the best choice for a magus at lvl 9, since it gives you the possibility of using spell combat and spell strike outside of the enemy's reach, avoiding AoOs or concentration checks.

Another option (though considerably less useful) is extra arcana, since most arcanas are better than feats and there are 2-3 good arcanas that come online at level 9

If he does not have Intensified Spell, he needs it. Now.

[Lobolusk]

he does he never shuts up about intensified shocking grasp

[Ninjaxenomorph]

Ah, you put that on the list of possible feats. Lunge is pretty good, but you could instead use Enlarge Person, but that is less versatile. Extra Arcana (Empower or some other metamagic) or Extra Arcane pool is fun. Never enough arcane pool.

[Scalwith]

Yes... you have to love the intensified shocking grasp... Especially when you do the instant empower. What about greater spell penetration. Our DM loves him some SR.
