The Geist Channeler Archetype's Phantom, what damage modifier does its slam attack use?


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

So, the Geist Channeler Archetype for the spiritualist. Its Phantom is only able to manifest corporeally, and has no strength score, yet it still has a 1d8 slam attack. Presumably this is for fighting other incorporeal creatures, or for the brief moments where it can manifest in ectoplasm later on. However, since it has no strength score (as previously mentioned), What does it use to modify the damage on its slam attacks? Is it just treated as a flat 10 for the purposes of this? I can't find anything which specifies on this, and any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Here's a quote from the D20pfsrd: "A geist channeler's phantom can't manifest in ectoplasmic form, and is limited to manifesting in incorporeal form. As a result, the phantom has no Strength score, and has a starting Wisdom score of 12. Instead of gaining two slam attacks, it gains only a single slam attack that deals 1d8 points of damage."

I'd say it's treated as a flat 10, so phantom's slam damage would be just 1d8 with no modifiers.
