Bladebound Hexcrafter level 5 feat question.


Advice


Fairly simple question. I'm going to be playing a Bladebound/Hexcrafter Magus, and level 5 is hitting an interesting gray area. I don't techincally get my first arcana until 6th, and I get my first Hex at 4th. If I understand correctly I don't actually qualify for Extra Hex, and I can't seem to take Extra Arcana because I don't get said Arcana class feature until 6th. So do I have any relevant options at 5th for getting another Hex at 5th level?


Bump.

The Exchange

Whether or not the Hexcrafter's Hex Magus class ability qualifies for the Extra Hex Feat is probably debatable (it's not the 'Hex Class Feature' the Feat needs as a prerequisite, but the Hexcrafter gains 'the benefits' of having a Hex... and qualifying for Feats could be considered a benefit) so it's probably worth checking with your GM on that one before you do anything else.

Other than that it's generally difficult to gain class features without a dip into the actual related class... but thanks to the Broad Study arcana a dip into a different spellcasting class isn't as terrible for a Magus as it might otherwise be. If you're set on playing Bladebound (instead of just spending a Feat on Craft Magic Arms and Armour) then maybe drop the Hexcrafter and just take a dip into Witch (assuming it's the Hexes part of Hexcrafter you're after)? You'll need to find some Witch archetype without a familiar (like 'Gravewalker'), of course, 'cos Bladebound uses the usual 'one familiar per customer' slot for the singing sword instead.
