[PF] Synth Summoner + Magus

[Karoht]

In before Gundolon.

We all know Synth Summoner is pretty badass on it's own right?
I got myself to thinking, what if it could cast spells and melee as efficiently (on paper) as a Magus can?

I was thinking of doing Synth Summoner with a 2 level dip in Magus, said dip taking place probably at levels 7/8.
I like the sound of being able to use Maker's Jump right after a full attack using spell combat. Which then I realized wouldn't work with a 2 level dip.

But then I got to thinking about Broad Study, the Magus arcana that allows the Magus to use cross class spells as part of Spell Strike and Spell Combat.
Full Attack->Cast Spell. And this way take full advantage of the Summoner's spells rather than being confined to the Magus list. However it may not be worth it for a 6 level dip in Magus.

Bad news, no Split Forms.
Good news? Monster truck that full attacks and casts spells and other shenanigans.

If not, Synth Summoner with Mysterious Stranger Gunslinger. Magus sounds more fun though.

Thoughts? Problems? Concerns? Suggestions?

It could work in gestalt, not worth it otherwise.

Basically what he said.
It's similar to the "Mystic Theurge" problem.
By the time you get where you want to be, you are already way behind.

I'd go the Mysterious Stranger Gundolon-ish route.
But then again, I may be just a _tiny_ bit biased towards Gundolons....

If we were going to make it work, what would anyone recommend?
