Eidolon Unchained Share spells


Rules Questions


Hi!
I was wondering how to interpret the Share Spells of the Unchained Summoner's Eidolon.

Quote:


The summoner can cast a spell with a target of "you" on his eidolon (as a spell with a range of touch) instead of on himself. A summoner can cast spells on his eidolon even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the eidolon's type (outsider). Spells cast in this way must come from the summoner spell list. This ability does not allow the eidolon to share abilities that are not spells, even if they function like spells.

We're discussing if this text is only talking about spells with the target of "you" or is the text mentioning that, aside from other spells from the summoner list, you can use target "you" spells on your eidolon?

Because we're in a disagreement. One side thinks that you can only cast target "you" spells on your eidolon and they ignore any humanoid spell requirements. The other says that the text mentioned target "you" to make it clear that ALL summoner spells (Target "you" and others) work on your eidolon regardless of humanoid spell requirements.

So the question is, can all spells of the summoner list be used on eidolons or just target "you" spells of the summoner list.

Thanks :D


I don't think there has been an agreement/FAQ on this. Happens the same with familiars.

It's DM territory...


Yeah before that decision would be made, I wanted to see what the opinion of the forum would be


Is there a single spell with target "you" that only effects humanoids? I don't think there is, so in one interpratation the second part is wasted wordcount. This swings my opinion.


That is a good point you make there. I actually can't say for sure that there are.
