[Pathfinder] Advice for Magus/Oracle?

[KnightOfCalc]

Hello, everyone!

I am a long time 3.5 player, new pathfinder player. We decided to create new characters and I rolled pretty well for my stats. Here are my stats right now rolled up with 4d6 (reroll of 1d6 per roll):
15
17
14
16
17
17
Without any bonuses, of course. I was wondering, with these modifiers, is it possible to go Magus/Oracle/Mystic Theurge? I know that my stats are going to be all over, so I wanted to check with you guys. My build so far is 6 Magus/4 Oracle/10 Mystic Theurge.

Thanks for the advice!

So, you're expecting to get third level spells at character level 11-12? You don't have a problem with being getting said spells when any full casters in your party are getting sixth level spells?

Even with a laser-tight focus on buff spells and fighting you're going to have a tough time making this work. Ability scores are only the start.

Mystic Theurge

I...I'm not in the right frame of mind for a proper reply right now...
Someone else will be along shortly...

EDIT: ^ There they are! ^

Just play an Oracle Battle Mystery to get all the fun you need in being a warrior who can cast spells.

ST 17 DX 14 CO 17 IN 15 WI 16 CH 17 before racial modifiers.

I will admit that I'm hardly an expert, but I've played Pathfinder long enough to notice that unless a prestige class is geared toward a specific class, (i.e. Dragon Disciple and Sorceror or Alchemist and Master Chymist) mutliclassing and then tying everything up with a prestige class usually isn't worth it. I think this is mostly because Pathfinder have a lot of abilities that scale with level. As such, unless you can find a prestige class that helps certain key abilities of a base class continue to improve with level, it's going to take some work to get it to...well...work.

Alright, guys, sounds great. I noticed those problems before, but I wanted to get some more feedback before I changed. Looks like I'll be going full Magus.

Thanks for the advice!:smallbiggrin:

One of the few Multiclass prestiges that work is the Rage Prophet. Not as good as straight oracle but this combo nets you Rage cycling by 5th level so it's moderately strong throughout. Gives you reasonable amounts of both smashy and casty.

An Aasimar or Teifling can get into MT at 4th level. 2 Sorc/1 Cleric or 2 Cleric/1 Sorc depending on what you want to focus on. Grab the Fate Inquisition on the Cleric for a Augury as a spell-like ability. Empyreal Sorcerer uses Wisdom to cast.

Of course, you won't be doing melee.

(And yes, it has been ruled that Spell-likes qualify you for prestige class casting requirements in Pathfinder).

Full Magus is ok too. :smallsmile:

Can you show us a link?

Sure. (http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fm#v5748eaic9qow)

Personally I think this is rather insane. Why not fix the PrCs instead of allowing certain race/class combos early access? Bah!

Why must my group play pathfinder?

[NamelessNPC]

Wow. I'm drawing blanks right now, but I'm absolutely sure this has awesome/awful implications.

Thanks!

If you took a 2 level dip into Unbreakable Fighter and a 1 level dip into Cleric (Travel Domain and 1 of your choice), you'll have 2 feat taxes paid off and an extra 10' on your movement speed. Combine this with a Dancing Dervish Magus and you're set

Things have just got interesting/stupid all of a sudden... :smallfrown:

Most pathfinder PrCs have skill or BAB requirements also. I guess it does make arcane trickster easier to enter as rogue 3 / wizard 1 / arcane trickster X. That sounds just fine. Mystic theurge as cleric 3 / wizard 1 / mystic theurge X probably still isn't going to be a problem.

Hmmm. An aasimar sorcerer 3 (as 2 feats prereq) / bloodmage X ? Nice I guess.

You can do it as an Aasimar or Tiefling Cleric 2/Sorcerer 1.
