I'm looking at joining a new group playing pathfinder but i've only played 3.5 before.
One of my favourite classes was the duskblade and while researching how to convert them to pathfinder i saw someone suggest magus instead.
The magus class looks pretty much the same as the duskblade except for their usage of wizard style prepared spells instead of duskblade/sorcerer style known spells.
I've seen the eldritch scion archetype but it means switching from int-based to charisma based which doesn't fit my "monster researcher" theme that i want to use (he tries to encounter as many different creatures as possible so that he can catalogue and research them). It also trades off a lot of spells (using the bard spell progression) in exchange for extra character features that i don't want to use.
Can anyone see any significant problems or exploits that would occur if i were to approach my GM about using sorcerer/duskblade spell mechanics instead of wizard?
I would need to adjust the magus spells per day in line with the wizard vs sorcerer spell progression (sorcerers get spells 1 level later than wizards, but more of them) or adjust the duskblade progression slightly but that shouldn't be too hard to tweak i think?
Thoughts?
