Hello and thanks a lot for even reading this far!
So I have a quick question about the Summoner VMC and I was hoping someone could give me a clear answer since I can't find one on the internet. So a Summoner VMC gets this at 7th level:
Eidolon: At 7th level, he gains the ability to summon an eidolon, using the statistics of an eidolon for a summoner of his character level – 4, except with half as many evolution points. This eidolon can only be summoned using his summon monster spell-like ability.
Does that mean the Eidolon also stays for an X-amount of minutes? Because that would seem a rather weak ability, and the Eidolon got nerfed quite a lot already. Or does it mean you just have to give up a use of the SLA to summon the Eidolon for the whole day? Help would be greatly appreciated!
