I'm wondering whether I should invest in a headband to take that farther, or invest in other items first. Here's hoping my DM will allow me to make my sword's hilt out of it and have that count.Īre there any better gloves out there for a magus than Gloves of Elvenkind? There aren't many options listed at the PFOGC, but then I don't think it has Ultimate Equipment included yet.Īlso, how do the rest of you feel about buffing int? I'll be bumping it to 20 at 8th-level.

Even 1 point means another full round of touch attacks at mid- to high-levels. Although it costs a swift action (which are in high demand as a magus), the ability to recover a couple points of arcane pool in a combat, even without the coup de grace cheese, is invaluable. I'm really thinking that wyroot is a must-have for magi going forward. What wands did your magus favor? How did he store/wield them? I'm human, so no prehensile tails or hair. How does Power Attack play out at 15th+ level? Do critter ACs rise too high for a 3/4 BAB class to afford it? Would still be much later in his progression, but he has the 13 str to qualify for the feat. I don't have Power Attack in my build at the moment, though that may change if my DM approves a custom spell I'm working on. *nod* I'm dex-based because I really wanted that image of a lightly armored swashbuckler, especially on an airship, and this seemed like a rare opportunity to do that and not be penalized for it mechanically, but I did play around with str-based at first. Then again, if I wind up almost continually being under the effects of Overland Flight, that might not be such an issue.ĭo any other items mesh particularly well with the magus? Another post made me consider Celestial Full Plate, but I'm thinking the +1 AC you gain isn't worth the penalty to movement for wearing Medium Armor. : Of course the go-to armor for a dervish magus is Celestial Armor.
I'm definitely thinking Gloves of Elvenkind for the bonus to Concentration checks for pretty cheap, as well as level 1 Pearls of Power and a Wand of Shield, so I don't have to prep it anymore. I'm wondering what sorts of magic items other magi have prioritized (other than the general stat belt, resistance cloak, ring of protection, etc.)? I just liked the idea of him being lightly armored, which fits in well with the airship theme the campaign will have.Īt level 1 he's got a rapier and carries Shield and Color Spray prepared, though at level 3 he'll swap to a gunblade (scimitar reskinned with a couple extras) and really start cooking. So after taking in the advice from this thread, I wound up rolling up a dex-based magus for our upcoming game.
