The big spell that I get as a 1 st-level spell that wizards wouldn’t normally have is hideous laughter. The first thing that I noticed is that getting bard spellcasting REALLY expanded my enchantment pool. I really, really liked the look of this base mechanic, so I decided to dig deeper and see what I could come up with. Instead of spellstrike, it gets the ability to “charmstrike,” which allows it to cast a 1 st-level spell as a swift action whenever a foe fails a saving throw that the puppetmaster casts. Among other things, it loses the ability to enhance its weapon, gains bard AND magus spells, and doesn’t have spellstrike. This archetype focuses rather heavily on trading out the high-damage output of the magus for more subtle magics. With this in mind, I found an archetype that REALLY intrigued me-the puppetmaster magus from Pathfinder Player Companion: Arcane Anthology. The first thing that I knew about this build was that I wanted to be a magus, and more specifically, I wanted to be a magus that played drastically differently from the stereotypical “shocking grasp gatling gun” magus that you always see.
