Ok so first off I know I got skewed results because I rolled so well this encounter unlike normal. Usually I cant roll to save my life.
So I played a lvl 2 Magus with 18 Str 16 Int 12 Con 12 Dex 10 Wis and 10 Cha. Had 26 Hp and a 19 Armor Class using a Breastplate. I was +9 to hit using a +1 Dogslicer and was +7 to Hit with Spells and DC 17. My Party consists of a Barbarian, Monk, Fire Oracle, Sorcerer, Tempest Druid, Precision Ranger, and Myself.
Our party was shipwrecked on an island where were chasing after lost pirate treasure. We make it to a temple of cursed Undead and traverse our way to where a skeleton was sittin in a chair. Then 11 of em stood up and started to attack. Here is how my combat went
Severe Encounter- 10 -3 Creatures and 1 +/- 0
Round 1- Moved and cast Burning Hands. Got 3 and did minor damage.
Round 2- Electric Arc Killing 2 and Strike killing 1. Same 3 I hit with Burning Hands
Combat Over- or so we thought as 3 rounds later they rose up and attacked again
Here is where my unusual rolls happened. I never Crit, so naturally as I am testing out the class I crit 4 times in a row... way to skew results.
Round 1- Slide Casting Step. Crit SpellStrike Strike and Crit Electric Arc killing Zombie
Round 2- Crit Spellstrike Strike and Crit TkP killing Skeleton
Combat Over.
For the time between combats I was busy loading up coins and loot into my backpack. Then we ran out of the Temple with just a few undead able to respawn and the GM didnt really bother with em after the second round.
All in all I felt like a Magus the whole time I played. I mean yes my first 2 rounds were no different than what a Multiclass could of done at lvl 4, I did it at lvl 2. I was chomping at the bit to Spellstrike though LOL. So thats why I did it the second combat because I wanted to test it even though it wasnt the most optimal because I was fighting 3 opponents. I should of Electric Arc'd and then did a Strike like I did in round 1. But it worked out just fine. 1 dead opponent is better than 3 hurt opponents. I did 22 Damage with the first Crit round and 26 the second. The Barbarian did 24 with 2 normal Greataxe strikes for comparison.
So yea I will continue to play this character and see how my normal rolls play out.
edit- Also to add. My two Crits did NOT happen from the crit mechanic. I nat 20d the TkP and the Zombie crit failed the Reflex save of Electric Arc.
