Hey guys, after reading the Magus Handbook I've decided that I definitely want to try a Magus out. For the race I was thinking either a Strix or Goblin, Strix have a Natural fly speed, medium size, +2 Dex, - 2 Cha, Goblins get to be small, and the +4 Dex is nice.
We're starting at level 1 so if I played a Goblin I'd have to slug through like 7 levels before even getting access to Fly, and even then would have to spend spell slots and ACTIONS on it. Plus if I can eventually permanently Reduce myself, as a Strix I'd have the same Dex bonus as a Goblin, but still threaten, whereas a Reduced Goblin would be tiny and have no threaten squares (right?).
So... what are people's opinions on the two? Goblin now would get me an overall +2 to hit (and +1 damage as I'll either go Dervish Dance or an Agile weapon eventually). Strix means flight!
