Thrower Myrmidarch viable?


Advice


Myrmidarchs gains the ability to use spellstrike at range,unfortunately they can not use spell combat with bows cause spell combat can only be used with onehanded or light weapons.

So maybe a Thrower build could do the trick. What do you think, is this idea somehow viable?


Well, I know I've always wanted to use the Deadly Dealer feat that way... XD

But yeah, sounds like it would be viable.

Spell Combat (Ex): At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.

Unfortunately, the bolded part makes it questionable whether you can Spell Combat with a thrown weapon. If it's considered a melee weapon (like a dagger) it's arguable, but things like chakrams are considered "Ranged Weapons" so it would need GM approval.

Personally, I wouldn't find a problem with it, but that's just me.
