Magus and Two-Weapon Feint


Rules Questions


Since the spell combat ability says that it functions like two-weapon fighting, does that mean you can take this feet and sac your first melee weapon attack for a feint check?


No. If Spell Combat only says it "functions as" TWF, then it does not count as TWF for the purposes of prerequisites.

Not talking pre-reqs. I'm talking about the fact that if you took all the prereqs (combat expertise, two-weapon fighting, etc.) could you use spell combat with two-weapon feint?


Yep just ask the monk all about the words "funtions as"

On a side note if your magus actually took TWF for some reason then yes i believe you could in fact sacrifice the first attack to make the second attack be against flat-footed AC.

No.

Two-Weapon Feint functions while using Two-Weapon Fighting.

Two-Weapon Fighting requires the Full Attack full-round action.

Spell Combat is also a full-round action.

Since you cannot take two full-round actions at the same time, you can't use Spell Combat and Two-Weapon fighting at the same time, which means you can't use Two-Weapon Feint while using Spell Combat.
