@@Argol228 I would rate expansive spellstrike at like 2.5/5 for more magi, 4/5 for starlit span. Assuming you're using conflux spells, expansive spellstrike works like a heavily limited Quicken Spell (since spellstrike is two actions, and strike+cast a spell is typically 3). Not bad, but not great given that it's only an advantaged actuon economy if you use conflux spells. It's better with starlit span because it gets all of the above benefits while also acting as a janky reach spell. Things like puff of poison, chill touch, etc which are kinda meh due to their touch range get a solid boost, and things like electric arc, scatter scree, and such get their max range increased.

To each their own. My personal preference is the traditional bladesinger/spellblade/swordmage setup, aka High Elf with a proper High elf longsword (a double edged straight spined blade with a leaf shaped profile).

A small correction. Metamagic doesn't work with Spellstrike because it's a combined Activity. Spellstrike is Cast a Spell. So it seems it would also trigger attacks of opportunity if the spell being used has the manipulate trait.

@jacobwalsh1888

2 жыл бұрын

I must disagree. The exact quote is thus. "You typically can't use metamagic with Spellstrike because metamagic requires the next action you take to be Cast a Spell, and Spellstrike is a combined activity that doesn't qualify." If you interpret English properly, that sentence means that spellstrike is NOT considered the same as Casting a Spell as normal, but rather as its OWN combined activity, and therefore does not allow it to interact with things that require a spell cast action, nor therefore would it trigger anything triggered by a cast a spell action unless they specifically mention it." So not a correction.

If we're going by the Latin, your pronunciation is more correct than "Maygus." The Latin would be akin to Ma (as in "grandma") but with the "a" syllable lengthened to twice its normal length and "gus" being closer to "goose". So: Maagoos. But we speak English not Latin and the pronunciations of these terms are pretty much up to local variance. Unless Paizo has some official pronunciation for their Magus, it's whatever you like. And even if they do it's not like there's a law determining how to say words.

For spell strike. If your spellcasting mod is higher than you melee atk mod can you use it instead?

I think it does, but I'd like to confirm. Would a Kisune's Foxfire heritage attack apply with starlit span and it's conflux spell? Provided it's in the first range increment, would foxfire work with spellstrike?

The spell slots remind me a lot of 5e Warlocks. Not quite the same, but I guess its the obvious transition for anyone who's a fan of Hexblades.

I do have a question on armor. You say the medium with dex is awesome, but medium armor has dex cap, as a dex person, I would think you would want light or no for better AC

One of the characters I would like to make is a slyph magus.

It's bin sometime sinds I last commented here. As too my favored Hybrid Study though all look pretty solid it has too be the Sparkling Targe. I liked the concept of a shield only build when we just only had the core rule book too look at but as 2e farther development paizo has spoiled me for choice with this concept and this magus subclass is a fine addition. It's also nice that Raise a Tome feat has a usable subclass unlike the playtest (although having said that it still has some problems because the base form doesn't mesh well with other magus shield feats until Shielded Tome but I still take it even for just the flavor). But all in all I can really see how the magus has bin refined sinds the playtest.

It is a free action to change the grip on a weapon from one to two hands? In my group it is always an action to take a one handed weapon in both hands. i know it is hard action economy but we thought that is the purpose of feats like "two-handed assault". Are we doing it wrong?

It costs one action to shift from 1 handed grip to two-handed grip. It is a free action to release one of your hands (Release is a free action). Dual-Handed Assault specifically lets you switch to two hands for free, as part of a Strike and then switch back - and all without breaking stances that require one hand to be free. And now Twisted Tree also lets you switch for free, with staves, at specfic time triggers.

Nothing in the Spellstrike description requires it to be a spell slot or cantrip you gained from the Magus class. Multiclassing in Pathfinder 2e is done by using your class feats which you gain on even numbered levels on "archetype" feats to gain abilities of another class. So, a Magus who spent his second level class feat on, say, "Druid Dedication" would have access to a couple of cantrips from the Primal spell list and could use them to Spellstrike.
