Could someone point me to a possible adaptation of the pathfinder magus to a DW base class?
To sum up the features of the class, the magus is a fighter/wizard, that has limited spells, but has a pool of magical power that can be used to power up the weapons and to have spell-like powers.
I’ve been working on a battle mage, but I keep scrapping it. I’ll post a link when I get closer.
Wouldn’t multiclassing accomplish the same thing?
I was just about to mention you, Matt Smith, when I saw this post. His class is exactly all of this.
David Benson multi-classing could do some of what we’re looking for but that’s like telling a ranger that they should multi class as a rouge/Druid/fighter.
It’s an identity thing. I’m a battlemage sounds ten times better than I’m a wizard/fighter.
The balefire of rage and telepathic warrior might help as inspirations

David Benson no, the magus is not a multiclass fighter/wizard, it has a pool of mana that can be used to give the weapon special powers, or give the magus superior mobility or other self improvements in combat. I have a definite mystic warrior with magic powers from anime, like Saint Seya, for example.
Tim Franzke I am not very excited of psi in fantasy, but the moves could be reskinned to be sorcerer-like magic, right?
for sure. Psi is nothing other then “mind magic” right? Could be whatever.
Tim Franzke mind magic is ok, but usually fiction behind psi is that it’s not magic but sonething else. And for some reason that bothers me a lot 🙂
You could reskin the Gladiator playbook so that arsenal is mana. I feel like my efforts to reskin it for Coffin Bearer have been somewhat successful.

Matt Miller I don’t like the Gladiator, mechanically and fictionally.
Here is the Magus from PF. The Arcane Pool is the self empowerment mechanic.
