So we got to the point in the carrion crown campaign where we were suppose to go to the mansion right?
We decided to go in through the balcony, not knowing the developers planned ahead for anyone not going through the front door, monsters pop up and blah blah blah. Then suddenly i get possessed, the one with the weakest will save. (We had a paladin and an oracle with steadfast Personality)
Thankfully it was dispelled before any lasting damage was done, but it REALLY spooked me. So i considered swapping combat casting for iron will, and the dm approved of it if i chose to do as such, but one of my party member is saying i just got real unlucky.
So which is over all more useful? As i know i can boost my con saves in some way, but i NEED better will saves.
At some point you will want to re-train combat casting anyway because you cannot fail a concentration check for any spell you intend to cast in combat.
To be fair, Lady-J, a magus is a caster that expects to be casting in combat rather frequently. It's just that the need is gone by 12th level, likely much sooner with traits and/or racial abilities, since the magus is only a 6th level caster. A sword binder wizard may need it, but not a magus, not typically at least.
As far as iron will goes, do you really want a dominated magus running around slaughtering the rest of your party? Just sayin...
Likely. My last magus was an elf with focused mind (trait). I maxed INT (20 to start, DEX build). At 8th level (still 3rd level spells), with a +2 headband (a 24 INT, for +7), and improved spell combat (+2) that's a +21 check - I couldn't fail a defensive casting check ever again. My GM let me retrain CC.
