Staff Master Hexcrafter, or Bladed Scarf Hexcrafter?

[PapaZorro]

I realized both of these Magus Archetypes can work together.

Benefit of the Bladed Scarf Dancer Hexcrafter is mainly that you can get your Int to AC. You can focus on Int almost exclusively and apply it to Hexes, AC, and Attack/Damage with the Prehensile Hair hex. You would actually end up with a very good AC.

Downside: lost crit-ness. You can compensate by maybe taking 2 levels of Alchemist to get an extra hand, hold a Bladed Scarf in one hand, and a scimitar/kukri/something in your other hand for when you want maximum crit-age.

Staff Master - again, poor critting. But you can pull the same Alchemist-dip if you want. You can a good AC bump and a high level weapon is pretty cheap eventually when you have a CL20 level 1 spell staff.

Hm.... can you actually hold a weapon in your hair and still attack with it? Can you hold a weapon in your hair at all?

And finally, if you went Tiefling with the tail, can it hold, but not *wield* one of the weapons to still gain the defensive benefit?

Thoughts anyone?

You could hold a weapon, but not wield it.

"At 1st level, when a bladed scarf dancer is wielding a bladed scarf, he gains the canny defense ability."

Wielding a weapon implies that you can use it as a weapon. Tiefling tails and Prehensile Hair cannot wield weapons, therefore you cannot gain the benefit if the weapon is in either of those limbs.

My advice: Play what sounds like fun. Fun characters are infinitely better than min-maxed characters. Losing a bit of crit is not a big deal.
