Myrrh, Frankincense, and Steel: Kurald Galain's Guide to the Magus

[Kurald Galain]

All spells are up.

Awesome guide! My DM allows back-porting of PF material into his 3.5 games (as do I when I run games) but I've never really explored the Magus. This guide has helped immensely.

Thanks

I am not that familiars with Pathfinder PrCs, but for 3.P games:

I'll have to check those, but I'm not sure whether I want to include a lot of 3.5 material here. Besides, as you say, a high-level build that is mostly EK and SC levels isn't really much of a Magus build.

Scarab lets you automatically confirm a critical, not threaten.

Correct. But if you want to crit something, then rolling to hit normally and automatically confirming will give you pretty much the same chance of success as automatically threatening if you hit and rolling to confirm normally.

I'll have to check out that helmet, I hadn't heard of it.

IIRC, their big problem is most don't allow weapon usage, obviating spellstrike, and the innate spellstrike of natural attacks is delayed.
Monstrous Physique does, as well as undead anatomy. Those are great. The others don't see much combat use other than backups when your scimitar is gone.

Thanks. Can you give an example of a good form or two? I assume that anything with multiple natural attacks and pounce is the primary goal, but perhaps there are some cool abilities out there.
