Equipment for fifth level magus?


Advice


Starting a level 5 module, and I'm playing a black blade magus using a katana, so I won't have to spend the money (10,500gp) on weapons.

So I'd love some ideas on cool magic items to buy!
Thanks! :D


You want some armor, right? +1 spell storing would be nice. Maybe a mithral chain shirt.

A 1st level pearl of power or two, or maybe some consumables, would be seriously useful for your maguses' endurance.

A handy haversack is always useful, especially if you dumped strength or if you got a lot of different consumable items.

A ring of sustenance is good if your GM likes attacking your party at night.

A cloak of resistance and/or a belt/headband which boosts your favorite stat are as good for you as for anyone.

If you want cool, but not necessarily the most practical items, you might look at a gray bag of tricks, or a wayfinder and an ioun stone, or gloves of reconnaisance.


Depends if you use aid another a lot like I did, otherwise do consider Gloves of Arcane Strike. But arcane strike works best with bloodrager with mythic vital strike, not as much for magus.


What's your arcana situation? Are you going for straight up shocking grasp damage or do you do a lot of debuffing?

avr hit the staples. There's also the ever-popular jingasa of the fortunate soldier. On the economy side of things a masterwork skill kit and cracked ioun stone can give you a +3 bonus (2 circumstance, 1 competence) to the skill of your choice for 250 GP total. I believe the PFS standard is no more than 9 skill kits.

If you're using static resonance rules for ioun stones then a clear spindle stone in your wayfinder is a nice security blanket.

If you really want to be Batman you could splash out for fogcutting lenses or a goz mask and go nuts with obscuring mist. The rest of your party might not like it so much, though.

+1 mithral shirt 2100
Necklace of natural armor 2000

Spend the rest on consumables like scrolls, potions,and possibly a wand.

How about Feather Step Slippers (to ignore all that pesky difficult terrain)?

Consider a Pendant of the Blood Scarab (autoconfirm a crit once per day, for example with Shocking Grasp)

And for 10,000 gp you can have a Bane Baldric, which gives you a huge damage boost a couple rounds per day.
