I’m playing a starlit span magus in Kingmaker, and I’m considering getting a staff in order to augment my spell list. But I’m having trouble deciding which staff I should go for. I have Trick Magic Item, so I could go after staves of other traditions if it makes sense.

I’m also looking at Fused Staff to manage my bulk, but I’m not sure the action economy around it is sound when put with Spellstrike action economy. Anyone have experience with this feat?

    That does make the Fused Staff feat look pretty appealing then! But for true strike I don’t know if that’s action efficient, since you can’t Spellstrike with that spell. The actions needed for that go like this:

    • Change bow to staff
    • Cast true strike
    • Change staff to bow
    • Spellstrike

    And I’m not sure how you fit a Spellstrike into the same turn without taking an action the previous turn to set up for it. But having a Staff of Evocation or another evocation-based staff sounds like a great idea!

      Oh crud, you’re correct. True Strike only last until the end of your turn, so you can’t set it up for your next turn. My bad on the suggestion, as it works great (and is highly recommended) for a Twisting Tree Magus (which my PC is).
