[QUOTE="WanderingMystic, post: 8955940, member: 69157"] So looking at the Magus things that I would change or modify. 1: Do away with arcana points , first the number they have feels like to much compared to what other classes can do. Second that is another resource to track. (Ep already is used for mystical effects by the adept so there is no reason to have a second resource.) 2: Instead of treating them like the herald with no exertion just start them off with exertion points at 2nd level. Just like an adept let them use there exertion points to fuel anything you had them spending ap for. Still allow them to trade spell slots for ep at a 1-2 ratio. (Using ep for what you were wanting AP for in addition to maneuvers removes the worry you had over them being able to double dip by getting ep form other sources.) 3: Like the Adept give them bonus ep at higher levels but try to make sure that they don't get more than the adept remember you can already sacrifice spell slots for them. (You should be looking for at most 20 by level 20 so an extra 8 above what you would normally get.
