New weapon design for Magus


Advice


So I'm thinking about trying to create a cestus-like weapon with 18-20 crit range so that at higher levels I can use metamagic rods in THAT hand and keep the off-hand free to cast in spell combat.

Clawed Guantlet
Exotic(6DP)+1-Handed(2DP)+2x Additional Points(2DP)
Design costs
Imp Crit range...(3DP)
Imp Crit range...(7DP)
Attached..............(1DP)
Fragile...............(-1DP)

Result:
1d3 Slashing 18-20/x2 (Attached, Fragile) 38gp

With the goal being to crit as many spellstrikes as possible (and with Quicken Spell rod I can get up 2 spells per turn 3x/day) I want to be using a base 18-20 crit range weapon. 15-20/x2 after keen (maybe Imp Crit feat at higher levels) is applied

Otherwise I might see how well I can do at just using Spellstrikes and forgoing normal attacks when I want to use a rod.

Your thoughts?
