Hey guys, so I'm attempting to make a Bleach based bladebound magus after Hisagi Shuuhei. He wields a Katana that turns into a double ended kasuri-gama. I want to play a full blood elf/drow magus would be preferred. I'm looking for anything under a lvl 10 build. All pathfinder books available. So thoughts suggestions on feats, skills, weapon enchantments, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Well the race is more because i enjoy both Elves, and Drow elves, not because it favors the character more. Im just looking to make a character with a class, feats, skills that would match up with the character from that anime better.
Bladebound and Kensai look to be best with the free magic weapon, and the exotic weapon pro/focus. The reduced spell casting is fine because hes not a great spell caster, not a great swordsman, but hes decent at both. The main concern i have is the changing from a Katana to a double ended Kasari-gama.

If 3.5 is available there was a magic property called morphing, or morphic, something like that, that let you change the weapon to any weapon you wanted at will. I'm not sure if pathfinder has anything like that.
It is under intelligent items, which kinda fits for a soul reaper weapon anmyways.
Regarding Hisagi Shuuhei, I think that he could use some sneak attack, maybe dip a bit into Slayer. Monk you allow him to keep his armor class up.

You cannot enchant black blades, and the list of temporary enchantments you can give them via arcane pool is very small.

yes 3.5 and some pathfinder compatible books are available as long as I can show source in a pdf/printed book. After looking into the possible weapon enchants idea, i was also looking into possible Magus Arcana and came across Eldritch Athame (Su), for changing the weapon into another form and having weapon pro in it.
Does anyone think a few levels in Samurai and taking the sword saint archetype is actually worth it, or is it a case of looks better then it feels?
I was debating also putting 10-12 levels into Magus, picking up Dimension Door, and doing the Dimensional Agility feat chain for at least a little bit to get the feeling of the Flash step thats the reapers have. Is Dimensional Agility worth it if i take 3-4 of the feats?

Where exactly can I find slayer? is it an archetype of some sort?

Slayer is one of the classes from the advanced class guide, which won't be released until august 14th.
Ah, i was able to find a link to it in the forums here, looks like a fun idea of a class, seems a little unfinished, so ill have to wait until the release to get the best idea of it.
So im curious if a jump in Samurai would be worth the levels, and if Dimensional Agility is worth the feats to get, and how many of them should i pick up?
Dimensional agility not really worth it. Just use Bladed Dash and later use Greater Bladed Dash.
I never thought of Eldritch Knight, looks not bad, keeping p a great BAB, and spell crit is awesome.
Sad to hear that Dimensional Agility isnt worth the feats, it sounds really cool.
Not a bad idea Shfish, but Magus with Bladebound type gets a intelligent sword. You can also take Magus Arcana Eldritch Athame (Su)to alt the shape of your weapon completely, and have weapon pro in the new weapon regardless of what you make. Kensai allows for no armor pro, but Int to armor. Dimension door and the dervish feats would allow for the Flashstep abilities that many have. To many things from Magus to ignore it as a great start to this character concept.
He turns his katana into a double ended Kasari-gama
Actually after looking into further, thats not to bad Shfish. Seems decent as a build, but with my character already started in the game with my current GM i dont think its going to fly as a re-write, so im trying to stay with Bladebound Kensai and see what i can do to make it into a soul reaper
I have access to well over a dozen different books, if you can tell me the book its from ill be able to find it no doubt. if i cant from my books, a friend has even more books, so Im sure we have access to whichever book you may have in mind
Great ideas, i was looking into all of that, I couldn't find Hold the Line in Miniatures, but i found it in Complete warrior, if thats the same one your referring to?
Yes book of nine swords is awesome, i also have the first Path to War book from Dreamscarred press which is also amazing. Right now i think Magus/Rogue, or Magus/Slayer would be a good mix up, Im debating a dip into Samurai for a few levels to pick up some class skills from the sword saint archetype.
Ive looked into Iuijutsu focus, but my DM isnt sure he likes the concept of having a starting hit do so much. Which is why im thinking a dip into Samurai would help with the sword saint archetype. It allows for 1d6 every odd level to be added to the hit as long as you had to draw the blade first
