Hello All!
Me and my group of trusty roleplay companions are looking to start a fairly high level 3.5 game pretty soon (level 14 with a view to hitting epic levels). Its predominantly a 3.5 game but we allow PF stuff on a case by case basis and I have been wanting to take the magus for a spin for ages.
Anyway the overall build is for a Str magus, wearing heavy armour, with the inevitable keen scimitar.
My main query is that while the Magus spell list is very solid, it would seem remiss of me not to take advantage of the wealth of opportunities that are available to me from the 3.5 sorc/wiz list via the Spell Blending Arcana. However its been a while since I have played anything other than PF, so I thought I would throw it open to the wiser heads here in the playground to suggest some interesting picks. Predominantly looking for powerful touch spells I suppose, but I am considering taking the Arcana that allows you to turn ranged touch attacks into ordinary touch attacks, so recommendations of Ray spells are also good. Good round per level/minute long buffs are also in demand as I find these synergise really well with Spell Combat.
Any other good tips or tricks for playing a Magus at this level, with access to 3.5 material as well is also welcome. (unfortunately my group has already cracked down hard on metamagic reducers, sigh the things I could do combining Arcane Thesis and Spell Perfection).
Thanks for your time!
