I'm a changeling hexblade (4 levels)/warshaper (2 levels)/magus (next session we level up, and I'm taking a level of magus). I use a lot of natural attacks from Warshaper, and my levels are kind of filled up, because Magus is too good to pass up. But is there any way to gain a pounce attack without taking levels in Barbarian?

Sphinx Claws from Magic of Incarnum can give you pounce, IIRC.

I'm not too savvy on pathfinder, but is it at all possible to have a wand chamber in your weapon, and put a wand of lion's charge in it?

The Ways to get pounce or free movement (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103358) list will probably have something for you.

If we're talking strictly Pathfinder there isn't away of doing it. If we're talking PF+ any D20 books there are dozens of ways, mostly through feats and a few through magic.

Natural attacks. Unless I were to shapeshift myself a hole in my arm, that would be impossible.

Well, you've got 3.5+PF, so as others have said... there's a great thread for it, and a bunch of options. In PF only... it's take a lot of barbarian levels, take one level of synthesist summoner (quadraped, arms, pounce, for example), I think there's a feat at the end of a longish chain which gives you something *like* pounce (iirc), and... not sure about anything else. PF isn't very pounce friendly, basically.

Grab the Experimental Spellcaster (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/words-of-power) feat and pick Accelerate (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/words-of-power/effect-words/accelerate) as your effect word chosen. You now have an extra move action, allowing you to move, full attack, and cast a spell with Spell Combat.

..Explain to me how this works? I'm not familiar with words of power.

Words of Power is extremely simple. You have two parts to a spell, the effect word, and the target word. The target word simply dictates who is going to be affected by the spell (ex. personal, area of effect, etc.), while the effect word is the actual spell. That is it.

Oh, okay. Thanks.
