Eidolon Improved Damage


Rules Questions


If I give an Eidolon with Claws Improved Damage does it apply to all Claws including multiple Claw Evolutions, One Evolution of Claws (Clawsx2), or One Claw?
The wording of the Evolution references Natural Attacks and Natural Attack Forms (Hence the confusion)
Thank you in advance.


It says select one natural attack form. Because you're not selecting a specific attack, but rather a type of natural attack, it affects all attacks of that type.

I am making an synthesist summoner for myself.

It is 5th level, 1/2 elf and max evolution points, 11. Extra Evolution twice, FCB 4 times to gain another evo point.

The claw eidolon has flight and I bought claws for its legs so it has, and can make, 4 claw attacks with a full attack.

Is buying 1 instance of Improved damage (claws) enough to raise the damage dice for ALL claw attacks from 1d4 to 1d6?

Yes it applies to a form of natural attack not a single attack. At 7 level when you ll choose large evolution they will become 1d8 and with the improved natural attack: claws feat you can pump it to 2d6 per attack. Not too shabby.

I like flight evolution early too but when you get overland flight spell its vetter to replace it with other evolutions. Energy attacks and rend for damage or spell resistance and improved natural armor for defense for example.

yeah, the write up is a little unclear. It does say "form" but it also mentions "attack". I have searched and I have seen folk talk about about it ruled both ways.

Rend will come as will pounce. Already have Energy attacks.

Flight is perfect and speed 40 already, and have a +19 Fly skill. I don't see how getting a 4th level spell instead is better. I would probably choose Teleport for long distance travel instead.
