Muscle Wizard - yay or nay

[Dunmuir]

A player of mine has brought this class to my attention.

The Muscle Wizard

In all honesty, as it would compare to other classes, what are your thoughts? I'm genuinely curious.

[Dunmuir]

Yeah, it's funky, but it reminds me of All Might, so it reluctantly hits a cord.

[Claxon]

That's a horrifically broken 3.5 homebrew class.

[Dunmuir]

How might one scale it down for proper play?

[Fuzzy-Wuzzy]

I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously.

Play an Unchained Monk or other class focused on using its fists.

Convince your GM to do a gestalt Campaign. Play an unchained monk/magus. Cast spells with your fist. Even better make your character an unchained perfect scholar monk of the mantis / kensai magus.

Failing Gestalt...?

Ascetic Oracle (with 1 level dip in unchained monk for flurry of blows)
- cast cleric spells with your fist

Unarmed Kensai Magus
- cast wizard spells with your fist

Noted.

And I am the GM. Thank you for the help guys. As could be assumed, I'm a newish gm, and I appreciate your help.

A wizard that mostly buffs the party or otherwise doesn't need absurdly high DCs for spells , and can afford a strength or dex high enough to be a fairly effective beat stick. BAB doesn't matter much if you have a bunch of natural attacks, or if you hit and move.

Reminds me of Meatbag the Wizard

[Dunmuir]

Ok. You got me curious. Meatbag the Wizard?
