So I was looking at the Paths for a Magus and realized that none of the Paths really took Hybreds in mind (The exception being the Marshal Class synergies well with a bard).
When I look at the Archmage or Champion, both of these are geared toward what you would think. Archmage for full caster and the Champion for a full BAB character. What if i'm playing a hybred like the Magus? Or an Alchemist? Things like the Champion's Precision would take effect until much later. Same applies with the Archmage path. I would like to see a few more path abilities that take Hybreds in mind.
I do like the Universal Path of Mythic spells. We need more like this.
EDIT: Looking back at what i wrote I dont think i gave a setting for the reasons. Yes, there are alot of cool stuff in both the archmage and champion path that magus could take full use of. "Critical Master" and "Endless Power" both come to mind. But, I was looking at stuff lower in the tiers. Home games cap out between level 10 and 14 most of the time (PFS cap at 12). So I would assuming the tiers would probably cap out around 5. When you take the level restriction and the Tier restriction (self imposed) Its hard for Hybred to get some abilities that synergize well. Looking for a Magus I'm tempted to go Guardian and just keep taking extra Mythic power to full my "Sudden Block"
Though it would take one of your mythic feats, I think Dual Pathing can be rather accommodating for a hybrid.
Grab the path that you prefer to have, whether it be for more hitpoints, or for some scaling feature, like Mythic Spells (if you really want to look ahead, you can also contemplate the tier 10 ability).
Then take Dual Path. It's not a bad investment regardless, as it gives you one of the main first tier abilities from the path you're opening up, so you'll have another nice option available to you right from the start. And you can then select path abilities from either which, as far as I can tell, all the abilities should scale as if you were the same tier in either path (Though, I haven't really checked.)
I admit, some more path diversity would definitely be cool, but Dual Path is a pretty nice start for doing so, at least in my opinion. YMMV though.
Or a witch healer/buffer half of what you need is archmage the other half is over in heriophant
Yeah. And if you don't want to dump a feat on Dual Path, go with the Trickster Path and just pick from any of them.
You can't take path dabbling more than once
|
I really don't think that the Magus is the perfect example here. Yes, taking dual path is certainly a very good idea, but at the lower mystic tiers Archmage will do just fine.
Just a little example, we don't have a mystic version of shocking grasp and shield yet, but the increased caster level is certainly a factor.

That took time^^
Anyway, the Magus is fine, but other classes might have problems. Could someone familiar with the Alchemist and Inquisitor try them ?

Dual path certainly would not be my first mythic feat, but it might be my second. Fleet charge alone is better than any mythic feat.
I agree with arcane strike. The mythic version is a beast.
As for other champion abilities, Fleet warrior allows movement + a full round action. That means being able to use spell combat even when not starting within 5' of your opponent.
For some Bards (Arcane Duelist), dual path Champion and Archmage makes more sense than Marshal. Part of the problem is few of us play a class exactly the same.
Sabastian - Tim the powerful is a beast. I created a similar magus only using a rapier with weapon finese and mythic weapon finese and I would not want to meet him in a dark alley. Using MWF, M arcane stike, black blade strike, and M power attack,my magus can generate 30+ damage bonus before criticals and spell strike.

At 10/5 the black-blade kenasi magus I posted is doing 3d6+25/15-20/x2 using dervish dance, marcane strike, mpower attack, arcane pool.
In the test game I am running, she had to use her unenchanted dagger to prevent an ooze from splitting. Her attacks dropped to 1d4+2d6+16/15-20/x2. That was without dex to damage. Marcane strike & mpower attack are providing significant boosts to damage. Adding the bane property is just overkill.
I would recommend that marcane strike be restricted to a set list of properties. If not, bane will be the property chosen for nearly every encounter.
I'm more interested in what to do about stuff like vampires or werewolves since they advance by class level not monster hit dice. Especially with Blood of the Night having new rules for vampire PCs...
Particular to the Trickster Mythic Path, I am finding the three starting Trickster Attacks minimally impressive. For example, My Rogue with archetypes in Knife Master and Scout can easily accomplish the Trickster Attack - Deadly Throw - through class features and feats,except that he can't gain an additional attack roll with some boost to hit based on tier. What if I added a monk level to my character and he had the feat perfect strike, which similarly allows for the extra attack roll addition, I guess I would get three rolls?
This particular can be seen as a mounting problem with several other types of pre-existing archetypes and class functions as well as feats. In general compared to other Mythic Path's and their Specific Attacks, some are well worth it and quite"epic," whereas others are already able to be accomplished and only give a slight inclination towards taking them.
An example that occurs with a Racial Trait and a Feat may be that having Ferocity as an Orc makes taking the Feat, Diehard, difficult, because you may only want to take the feat in order to achieve access to prerequisited feats such as Deathless Initiate. That being said, these type of incongruities already existed prior to this Mythic introduction and it would be appreciated if they were to be eradicated, by means of careful observations.
My hopes are that there will be more details added to each feature, just in case there is a problem similar to the one that I have found.
So imagine this party, a bunch of characters that are a plant race, created as per the Advance Race Guide. Okay, they all become mythic and take the Hierophant Mythic Path, and then decide that the fist path ability they will take is Plantbringer. Uh-oh!
You have upon you a party with fast healing and preferable environment, provided they are already in a plant filled place. What if they're Druids? Ultimate power may be at hand!
Plantbringer, among other Paths provide extreme power, with little drawbacks. I mean, I like "epic" or "mythic" powers to be powerful but this may be too much power.
