[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5988594, member: 35909"] I'm in a game w/ a now-18th level Magus, and he's been just fine. Of course, it's a gestalt game w/ 3E content (he's mixed with Warblade), so my experiences might now be too helpful. But the core of his power is based in PF, mostly. I provide him with a badass mount (Phantom Stag; 300 ft perfect fly speed and ability to turn self and rider ethereal at will), he has Mounted Skirmisher feat to move and full attack to use spell combat and spellstrike with, and has an arcana to make his blade ghost touch. Of course, later on we noticed the Bladed Dash and Force Hook Charge spells, making the mounted stuff not necessary to move + spell combat, though he's still happy to not need to waste spells to reach melee (he keeps bladed dash as a backup now for when he can't use the steed). If you are going to high levels, you sould definitely get Crane Wing feat, though. Without a dip, it'll cost you 4 feats, but...you're high level. Also as a side note: Tiefling always had the [b]ideal[//b] stats for a Magus; now w/ advanced race guide, they can also get a prehensile tail. Why is this good? RAW, in PF apparently you need to hold a metamagic rod to use it. Your class features require having a hand free at the time of casting, the same time you need the rod, so free action dropping it isn't an answer. Cue the tail, which can hold it for you...[/b] [/QUOTE]
