Magus questions involving improvised weapons


Rules Questions


I have three questions I'd like to ask due to curiosity and potential for fun characters.
-Can a magus use improvised weapons with spell combat? (shocking chair ftw)
-Can a magus wield a creature 2 size categories lower as an improvised weapon?
-If the above are all yes, then what would happen if you channeled a spell through a creature?
Thanks in advance, I bet this has already been asked too, or it's some simple wording I missed somewhere...

Yes if the weapon is one-handed or light.

Unless they had been turned to stone, no I don't believe that is possible, maybe if they were willing to be used as a weapon, otherwise I think they'd just be considered as grappled and you'd just be resolving a touch attack as per normal.

Spell is dispersed when it makes contact with an object other than a weapon it is being channeled through. Assuming the individual "counts as a weapon" then the spell would have not adverse affects per raw, just like channeling a shocking grasp through a longsword does no damage to the sword itself. That said you're probably going to have to do some finagling to make a creature counts as a weapon other than something obvious like a raktavarna.
