 I know about the Concentration part of it but reading up on Ranged spells in melee is where it screws you.  Even if you make your concentration check to cast, say your Orb of Acid, you still provoke because its a ranged spell in melee.

Ahh so I thought the Spellstrike was all one attack (As full round you stike once with weapon to deliver the spell).  Didn't know it actually counts as a second swing of the Scimitar!  NICE!!  I like the Zorro idea ha ha

Vicerious Thanks!  That makes much more sense to me now! 

Ya I meant spell combat not spell strike on the other post sorry...

I have tried to do a couple of searches and can not find anything on these questions.

I was reading the Magus build for the Dervish Dance feat build and noticed that he used a Scimitar with Weapon Finesse at 1st level to get the Dex bonus to att.  Looking at Scimitar, I see its a one handed weapon with no RAW giving it the finesse ability like a rapier.  Am I missing something?

The second question I have is in regard to Magus Spell Combat ability at 1st level.  So if I am reading this correctly, you make 2 attacks with your weapon (Each at -2).  The first is standard weapon attack and adds Str dmg and the second is also with weapon but no str bonus but spell is delivered with weapon?

So lets say its a a 1st lvl Magus with Str of 14 (No weapon Finesse) making full attack with a scimitar (using orb of acid as his spell combat) makes two attacks with his scimitar (first attack at +0/1d6+2 and another attack with scimitar for +0/1d6+2 +1d3)

Thanks for any input guys
