Magus Claws

[Milo33]

I'm playing a magus with a draconic sorcerer dip. Spellcombat says you need to keep one hand empty, so can I use spellcombat and attack with my claw?

[Milo33]

Bump.

Yes, I believe they even did an FAQ that you may spell combat & spell strike with natural weapons.

However you can't get a secondary natural attack in addition to the rest of an armed sequence IIRC.

Um, I think not cause a claw attack is not a spell. It's a natural attack, so the rules of that apply, so either attack with weapon or all your natural weapons. Or do you mean that you use the claw as a weapon while also casting? That I think works.

The latest FAQ about it. I think in April or may they took away spellcombat with natural attacks. If you look at the guide to builds they took down most magus builds because of it.

[Darth Grall]

Not true, the FAQ is still up.

My bad it took down my hair magus so I got it mixed.up with other natural attacks.

In spell combat, you can

• get your iterative attacks with a light or one-handed weapon in one hand (this can be a claw if you want, since your claw is a light weapon), and
  
• cast a spell with the other hand.

That's it. The FAQ confirms that spell combat is not a full attack, so you don't get any of the options you can add to a full attack, such as extra natural attacks.

I believe you could spellstrike with your off-hand claw, since spellstrike is a free action in addition to the spell combat full-round action.
