   Intermediate Polars (IPs; asynchronous magnetic cataclysmic variables)
   usually show only a hard X-ray component; however, several IPs have
   recently been discovered which show a soft, blackbody like component in
   addition to the hard component. Our targets, V405 Aur and PQ Gem, are
   the two brightest examples of these 'soft IPs', and have relatively
   high magnetic field and show complex and energy-dependent X-ray pulse
   shapes. Recent XTE data show that the hard X-ray pulse shape of PQ Gem
   has changed. We propose second ASCA observations of V405 Aur and PQ Gem
   to monitor P-dot, the hard X-ray luminosity, and to compare the spin
   light curves of the soft and hard components with those seen during
   their first ASCA observations.
