Share spells and teleportation spells


Rules Questions

So if a summoner has dim door, can I use the clause in share spells that says I can cast a spell with a target of "you" as a touch spell on my eidolon and thereby making him the focus of the dim door instead of me?
Basic scenario is I have 5 players who need to be moved. Round 1 I cast using share spells and have the eidolon grab two while I touch him and bamph. Round 2 I cast again grabbing two more and bamph. Now all 5 of us are where we need.
Legitimate reading of the rules?


No. You have to travel with them. The eidolon is not the caster. The reason the ability exist is do you can target them with spells they could not normally benefit from such as enlarge person or a spell that only works on you.


There's a clarification somewhere (possibly not in FAQ, but clear intent) that it means a spell with "Target: you", not a spell which can target one or more creatures one of which may or even must be you. It's only for personal spells.

Do you have a link to that? There are hundreds of posts to pour through depending on how you word the search...and it's not an FAQ item (I had checked there)


I don't have a link, and it may actually have been from 3.5. Which would actually be even more compelling, in a way, since Pathfinder hugely nerfed that ability. (In 3.5, the basic "share spells" was slightly better than what Pathfinder gives you if you take the improved share spells feat.)
