Round one of the Ultimate Magic playtest has begun as of today. You can download a copy of the Magus base class at http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/v5748btpy8gte. I will also post the link on my website.
The current round will run for the next few weeks. Additional materials will be made available as we go.
I did a quick scan of the character class. It seems pretty cool. One of the major benefits is the ability to cast spells and make melee attacks during the same round. It is an alternate take on two weapon fighting. There are penalties for doing this but I could see it as being fairly powerful.
Spells are limited and only go to 6th level. HP are between fighter and wizard. Skills, armor and weapons are somewhere in the middle.
It appears to be an interesting blend of fighter and wizard. It is not as strong as either. I would be interested to see how it stacks up against a dual class or the prestige class Eldritch Knight.

ReplyDeleteIf you want to change your Carrion Hill character to a Magnus, you can. You may want to keep both versions of your character in case you do not like it.
