Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ixis" data-source="post: 5710434" data-attributes="member: 82429">On the Paizo boards someone started working on an Oracle class guide and he made frequent mention to using an Oracle like a melee fighter. This is interesting as I'm a fan of gish-types and healing spells on top of that seems fun.A friend will be running a game soon, which is exciting because I've been hurting to play the Magus class for months and months, but the lack of out of combat utility and skills has me iffy. The Oracle, on the other hand, seems to have enough fun fluff and combat versatility to make it a stronger choice (on the other hand, the Magus' insane amount of critical hits is just as good.)So, three-ish questions:- Do melee Oracles work out well?- Do Magus' have options outside of combat?- Would a Magus multiclassing into Oracle (three levels, double-curse, fortune and maybe the Time mystery) taking tongues and maybe haunted on the Oracle archetype side, and Black Blade on the Magus side work out, or is this now waaaay too MAD? I'm thinking Dervish Dance so I only need to worry about Dex and a little Con, with Int as the highest and Cha around Dex/Con (Wis 10-ish maybe and Str 7.) I'm going to assume my friend will be running a 20-pt buy game.</blockquote>
