Serpentine Eidolon and belt slot


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

Is there any reason why a serpentine eidolon could not use a belt slot? Could the summoner wrap the belt tightly enough in place in the middle of the Eidolon to be effective? And/or, could the summoner indicate that the shape of his serpentine eidolon is such that it has bumps in his midsection to allow for an obvious belt slot spot?

Is there anything stating that they can't use the belt slot? I must have missed this.

serpentine creatures according to the magic item section have the following slots:

Belt, eyes, headband

so i don't really know where this came from as eidolons aren't really stuck on only equipping those as they can gain legs and such.


According to this Serpentine-shaped animals do have a belt slot. The problem with eidolons is their shape is determined by the player, meaning they could be valid for more than a serpentine animal.

For example, if the summoner takes arms/legs evolutions, should the eidolon not have feet/hands/wrists? There should probably be something around that dictates what item slots, if any, an eidolon gets. Using the slot table for animals puts serpentine eidolons at a clear disadvantage compared to bipedal or quadruped.

Silver Crusade

Where in the PRD does it mention the slots available to serpentine creatures?

Okay...I'm searching...I'm not familiar with "animal magic item slots" anywhere (I also never had an animal companion before). Could you be more specific as to where that text is? Thanks.


The source of the magic item slots for animals is the book Player Companion "Animal Archive" on the front inside cover. Player Companion books are not included on the PRD but you can find them here on the d20pfsrd.

Thank you. I don't own Animal Archive, but I do see the reference in D20PFSRD. So, I would take that as an "official" answer.
