Hi guys, I was wondering if you can help me with a ruling. I was looking through FAQs and I couldn't find what I was looking for. So if someone has the link or could help me find it I would appreciate it.
Anyways heres what I am looking for. I had my PFS GM deem that my level 5 Magus could not use Spellstrike and Spell combat together to deliver a frostbite spell, because I did not have a BAB of 6 and thus unable to make a second attack. It should work as I would get a free melee again to deliver the spell through spellstrike, much like two weapon fighting.
In a normal around I would get 1 attack. I would also get one attack if I chose to move and spell strike. However I would get 2 attacks if I were to cast a spell and and attack. Why should I not be allowed to cast a spell into my whip and get two attacks with it.
You should have been allowed one attack with your whip and then a second attack that would deliver frostbite through your whip. Here's the text on spellstrike:
"At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell"

You are correct. It might help to point out that it isn't a "free" extra attack; you take the -2 penalty on both attacks, just like you would with two-weapon fighting.
Note that you can do this even if the touch spell itself does not do any damage. A common tactic for maguses is use Arcane Mark or Light with spell combat, just so they can use spellstrike to deliver the touch spell through their weapon and get the extra attack.
