Advice


Ok so I haven't looked threw all the archetypes but the desire is a duel wielding magus.

Duel wields twin scimitars, Technically I could get the mechanical outcome perfectly with 1 scimitar and dervish dance but I want the look of the duel wielding, don't even care about the extra damage/attacks it is a NPC. 3.5 there was a large number of ways to do it I forget how I had the NPC set up but since we no longer use 3.5 only what can be found on the SRD.

is there perhaps a duel wielding archetype for the magus that I didn't read or possibly a feat chain that would allow this?

Nope, and any attempt to dual wield as a straight magus will prevent you from using your defining class ability, spell combat.


then is there similar builds with other classes, The NPC duel wields scimitars and uses the blade dancer style while using mild magic, perhaps I could toss on a few lvls of a different caster with still spell but I would prefer to find a single class that will allow the design decently


The problem is that you need a free hand to cast spells. Does your character need to use spells during combat?

One possibility would be a bard. Bardic Performance doesn't require hands free if you use Perform(oratory), and you can have the particular type of oration be "magical language" or whatever suits the character concept. It can have a variety of magical effects with the right archetype. (Use Sound Striker or Thundercaller if you want direct damage.)


Still spell meta magic would remove the need for a free hand with many spells, least for sorce. Will prob just have to settle on this or just house rule the magus to allow two weapons but not gain any additional attacks thus giving the theme/feel without altering any mechanics

thanks for the help anyhows was just hoping I had missed a archetype or something
