Critique my Spherewalker build (Magus, Swashbuckler)


Advice


Hi everybody. I want to show you my last build for a Spherewalker. I know that vanilla Magus or Swashbuvkler work well but I really want to try the PrC. If anybody have some ideas or critique I'd like to discute.
Sorry for my english but I'm Italian :P

Alexander Maximillian - CG Male Human
25 points
Str 8
Dex 20 (level 4-16-20)
Con 14 (level 8-12)
Int 14
Wis 10
Cha 18 (Human +2)

Traits: Magical Knack (Magus), Fate's Favourite

1 Swashbuckler(ispired blade)-Inspired Panache,Inspired Finesse (Bonus Weapon focus (rapier) and Weapon finesse)feats:fencing grace,endurance
2 Magus (Eldritch scion) - Eldritch pool, spell combat, Bloodline: destined
3 Magus - Spellstrike - Lightning Reflexes
4 Magus - Magus arcana: Flamboyant Arcana
5 Magus - Fated (from bloodline, +1 ac and saving trows, +1 for the trait) Deific Obedience
6 Evangelist of Desna - Obedience, skilled
7 Evangelist - Aligned Class (Magus) Protective grace +1 AC, ,combat reflexes, Combat Expertise
8 Spherewalker - Landmark, Longstrider
9 Spherewalker - Efficient Sleep, Star Slinger, Quick draw
10Spherewalker - Dream Link
11Spherewalker - Divine Luck (with an high cha and the trait bonus could be awesome), Improved critical
12Spherewalker - Swarm Form
13Evangelist - Divine boon 1 (Phantom steed 1/d), Arcane deed: precise strike, Butterfly sting
14Evangelist - Gift of tongues, Medium Armor (for a celestial armor)
15Evangelist - Multitude of talents,Certain strike (bloodline) Riving strike
16Evangelist - Accurate strike, divine boon 2: starlite caster (2d6 plus on touch spells :))
17Evangelist - Protective grace (another +1) Fighter training, Intensified Spell
18Evangelist - Gifts of Tongue, Weapon Specialization
19Evangelist - Spontaneous metafocus, divine boon 3 (Starry eyes)Arcane deed: elusive, Defy death (bloodline) Extra arcana: arcane deed: inspired strike
20Evangelist - Spiritual form, Heavy armor (I think useless)

With this build dex based, attacks with rapier are 1d6 + 5 dex, +2 weapon specialization, +2 magic bonus (I really want a puncturing rapier), + 13 (maybe 14) precise strike plus intensified Shocking grasp)
Plus we have a very high AC (and obviously opportune parry and reposte) and saving trows. What do you think about it?

It isn't ideal but it is very cool. I say go for it and have fun.

How I can idealize it?


That 8 str is going to be a problem for you off the start. It will get better around 6th level or so. Basically once you can get mitheral armor and stat boosting item. I just played a Magus with low strength, it's a real pain at the low levels.


Why? For the first levels you can use a leather armor (some magical specific leather armor could be your definitive stuff) For attack rolls and damage is quite useless. We don't need strenght when we can have fencing grace.


Great!
Italian's build are better :D

I'really like this concept... but you can't add real panache point to magus arcana/panache for flamboyant...
Otherwise it's a real fun and versatile build, also it only loose 2 caster level


Thank you Forcy.
I've played it and it was awesome.
Great action economy. Strongly recommend.
:D


Very nice Build !
You played it all the way from Zero to Hero or directly at 20 ?

P.S. Ma a parte Divine Luck lo Spherewalker lo hai messo per figaggine tipo Sciame di Farfalle Folgoranti xD ?


Dal livello due.
Dato che con te posso parlare, assolutamente per figaggine :D

Ma bella! Tutti italiani XD! Oh ma se facessimo un PbP qui dite che non ci lasciano usare l'italiano?


Quasi quasi...


Ciao! Siamo in tanti, eh? ^_^


Your going to be agonizing over how to spend your swift actions...
A lot of your class features (especially from Eldritch Scion) will require use of a swift, or (from swashbuckler) an immediate that burns the swift for the next round.
Could get frustrating.
But if you have it all worked out ahead of time, should be pretty neat.
