I dont know how to make a Dervish dancer Kensai magus!

[Artorias Ketsueki]

Im going to be playing in a level 20 game, and I've been trying to figure out how to create a Kensai magus. I have had many attempts but it just gets so confusing. Would some one be able to just make one for me? sorry if this is the wrong place for this, new to forums.

[GM Arkwright]

Allowed races? Allowed sourcebooks? What stat generation method, 20 point buy? Standard wealth-per-level? 2 traits? Any houserules?

Well I made one... So here's a start.

Goblin Black Blade Kensei 10/Crossblooded Sorc 1/More kensei

Feats: lvl 1 weapon finesse) Bonus (weapon focus:BB) lvl 3 (dervish dance), Alertness (BB) lvl 5 (Arcane Strike) Bonus (Intensify spell) lvl 7 (weapon specialization) lvl 9 (imp Crit) Bonus (eshew matrials) lvl 11 (extra Arcane points) Bonus: Extra Arcane point
Traits: magical linerage (shocking grasp + intencified spell)
Magus Arcana: Arcane Accuracy.

I picked Goblin for flavor. Other races will do as well.

Wild blooded Crossblooded Sorc - do they stack+ Ask your GM if they do - take draconic and elemental to get and extra 20 dam on your shocking grasp.

get weapon finesse
get dervish dance
use a magical scimitar
put your points into Intelligence and Dexterity.

I'd probably go Elf as well. Get Int/Dex stat boost items.

Then you are on the path to redemption, my son. Go, and sin no more.

going elf, all books, 25 point buy, standered starting wealth, starts at level 20. no traits.

Also just straight kensai.

so an epic/mythic campaign then? best of luck, you'll find that long hauls tend to grind down magi quicker than you'd think if you're not careful with your nova.

also for race, while elf is an obvious choice, samsaran can be great for those spells not on the magus list that you simply MUST have.

Elf Kensai Magus 20 (if your GM allows you to fighty defensively with Spell combat you should seriously consider a two lvl dip in MoMS monk for the Crane Style feats)

Alternate racial trait: Arcane Focus

Favored class bonus every lvl

1 Weapon Focus (Scimitar), Weapon finesse
2
3 Dervish Dance, Arcana: Arcane Accuracy
4
5 Combat Expertise, Blind Fight
6 Arcana: Spell Shield, Arcana: Empowered Magic
7 Moonlight Stalker
