[QUOTE="Darkghost316, post: 5901808, member: 6693624"] Hi all, I am in a pathfinder campaign currently playing a Human Magus and the build is Str based. Here are my stats, I rolled d12+6 and got lucky with two 12s. Human Hexcrafter Magus Lvl 2 Str: 18 Dex: 14 Con: 18 Int: 16 Wis: 11 Cha: 10 Feats: Improved Initiative, Toughness So what feats are good for a Str based Magus? I have read Walter's guide but I'm still not sure, I think Preferred spell is good but is it really? When you get to lvl 15 you wouldn't need it anymore because if you are using magical lineage it pushes the spell to lvl 0. Also weapon focus is good for the 5th bonus feat a magus gets but then it lose effectiveness in higher level, and power attack is nice but not until higher levels when you have better To-Hit ratio.
