[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7740051, member: 23"] So I have to find these guides, read them (because there are probably more than one) and then evaluate if they are good, match our playing style, and if they are current/legal - some of the combos have been nerfed, or are based on incorrect interpretation of the rules. Then I have to consider which one I want to take, and if it has pitfalls I want to avoid. For example, I was working on a magus a while back (level 7 - this was a ridiculous amount of work) and one of the build is centered around the use of rime spell, frostbite, the trait Magical lineage (to lower the level cost of the megatmagic), the feat enforcer, and the trait bruising intellect. So whenever the PC hits a foe, they get a tripple debuf - from frostbite itself, from rime spell, and from enforcer (because frostbite does non-lethal damage). But that would mean that for almost every attack, the target would have to make a check vs intimidate. That's great mechanics wise (triple debuff woooot) but it's annoying and it slows the game down. So I didn't go with that. So yeah, I do have to "look forward". Reading those guides and making decisions is not trivial. [/QUOTE]
