You can hold off till 9th level when you get 2 spells for the arcana but I'm impatient. Though it does provide that extra bit of umph till you can get Spellbinding (Sense Vitals) at 7th. Fun note: the pool point only covers a single attack, so you can swap out Greensting for another archetype or even a vanilla magus. Assuming a point of arcane pool being spent, Sense Vitals and normal sneak attack dice are in play she can do 9d6 sneak attack in a single attack or 8d6 per attack during a full round of sneak attacking (assuming flanking). With sneak attack damage and even more courtesy of her arcane pool and/or sense vitals, sneak attack makes up for not using as many spells to keep up the damage. The whole plan is to give the magus a bit more utility than outright 'touch attack with weapon attack', rinse, and repeat. Granted its only +1d6 with a swift action in the levels you get out of it but it's another 1d6. Greensting Slayer Magus is another source of sneak attack damage. I like the UC rogue a lot and if you decide to do a few levels dip instead of taking Accomplished Sneak Attacker, it has some nice benefits to 2 more levels of UC. Add in the reddish glowing eyes you have while it's in effect for the creepy factor.Ĭlass Selection: Unchained Rogue and Greensting Slayer Magus. Sense Vitals: A spell that lets adds +1d6 sneak attack/3 levels (5d6 cap) to any manufactured weapon you attack with. Accomplished Sneak Attacker: Dirty Tactics Toolkit This way you get the 1 level you need to make certain skills class skills (cause anyone who wants to disable locks is going to want to be able to do it +3 skill better)įor me there are two important things in this build:

Why is this important you ask? Because it's the difference between 1 and 3 levels of rogue.

Specifically one feat, Accomplished Sneak Attacker, which gives an additional 1d6 to sneak attack. you're truly awesome at this) brought up some excellent tricks with the Dirty Tactics Toolkit that make up a good way to save a few caster levels. The folks at Iconic Design (darn ya Alex.
