Is Inspired blade/ bladebound kensai a good idea?

[ShiningCrusader]

Hello everyone.
so i have recently started a campaign as a inspired blade swashbuckler, my stats str 12, dex 16, con 16, int 18,
wis 11, cha 16. i was going to go 19 lvs in investigator, but we have a ranger and a rogue to fill the skill role, so i thought i'd go 19 lvs of bladebound kensai magus. would this be a good idea? i'm not sure how well swashbuckler stacks with magus. so far i have weapon finesse& focus and fencing grace for rapiers.

Yes, that works well.

Note that kensai is mostly good at levels 10 and up; if you're unlikely to get that high then plain Bladebound would be better.

Here, have a Magus guide (www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?423754-Myrrh-Frankincense-and-Steel-Kurald-Galain-s-Guide-to-the-Magus).
