![]() ![]() (You can also use the Extra Arcana feat on the odd levels to pick another Hex Arcana). In place you get a HEX and the ability to pick hexes in place of Magus Arcana. Pearls of power are affordable by the time you get spell recall. Really, all spell recall does is let you burn your (limited) arcane pool to recall a spell. Hex Magus/Hex Arcana : Seeing a lot of blue aren't we? You give up spell recall for this. I'll list my best hexcrafter arcanas later. Being able to pick from a list of pseudo magical powers is awesome but some are stinkers. Magus Arcana : Varies from good to awesome. Fighting a White Dragon? Hello Flaming weapon. In addition to eliminating the fighter/cav/barb attack advantage you can tailor a bunch of enchants on the fly. This ability should be called 'You have Full BAB whenever you want'. Let's you enchant your weapon over and above it's enhancement bonus. Yay!Īrcane Pool****: One of your defining abilities. It can be combined with spell combat to make up for your -2 to attack and piling on spell damage or conditions. Spellstrike let's you layer touch spells onto Standard actions, whacking the bad dude with your scimitar instead of touching him. Spellstrike *** : The staple ability of Magi everywhere. For when you don't need a buff/control spell you can cast a touch spell, getting a free touch attack and delivering via your blade thanks to your next power: This allows you to break action economy by casting a meaningful spell (eg haste, slow or some other game changer) while still doing ok 1 handed full attack damage. Take a -2 to your full attack and cast any spell in your arsenal. Spell combat: One of your signature abilities. ![]() So lets move into the Hexcrafter skills and abilities that will help you become a total Bad ass Warlock. ORANGE This option is good, but not great RED This is a choice I don't recommend – Because they suck. Therefore, in order to provide my advice on these choices, I'll be Color-coating and rating them. The Guide to the Guide: In this Guide we will be discussing a lot of options, because Hexcrafters have many choices. So now you know why you wanna be a Hexcrafter. It's usually best to focus on one aspect but a Hexcrafter doesn't suffer much if he wants all 3. ![]() A standard Magus doesn't really do the Defiler role very well. 3 dominant roles stick out Defiler, Miss chance/Transformed Meleer, Uber blaster. More than most classes I have seen so far Hexcrafters can excel at many things. This REALLY makes them last longer and let's you still have something powerful to do when your spells are finally exhausted.ĥ. Every time you use a hex you saved a spell. Brand on the other hand is a damaging spell that is supposed to be used on enemies. Everyone knows spamming arcane mark is legal but a little cheesy. Plus you can auto spell combat with them AND a lot of the curses are touch spells, so they work with spell strike.ģ. FREE SPELLS, this includes ones to be published in future books. By becoming a Hexcrafter you just added every spell with the curse descriptor to your list. You now have unlimited use Supernatural Abilities (which DO NOT provoke AOO's and ignore Spell Resistance) with save DC's that target Fort or Will and with DC's that scale higher than your spells! The Magus list is FULL of reflex blasts that can hit allies if you're not careful, where hexes don't hit buddies, target other saves and carry save or lose effects.Ģ. So WHY Hexcrafter over normal Magus? I'll tell you why.ġ. You r saves top out at level 6 while the wizard keeps chugging to level 9. ALSO at higher levels doing damage often isn't the best answer to beating a foe. Plus Magi get a lot less spells than a Wizard or Sorcerer and Magi burn through spell slots like crazy to keep up with a fighter's damage. There is a real lack of save or suck on that list. Look at a typical Magus and what does it do well. Ultimate power: Why the Hexcrafter is the BEST magus! Note I have copied his Guide style and borrowed some text to make this a style we are familiar with * Before we begin- I’d like to thank Treantmonk for his own guides that inspired me to write this one.
