Pounce vs Pounce


Rules Questions


Is an Eidolon's Pounce evolution the same as the Universal Monster Rules Pounce?

Can it use Rake on a pounce? (If it has that evolution)

(Barbarian Beast Totem pounce references UMR Pounce on the SRD, from the APG which is where the Summoner class is from. Thus if you can get Rake on a Barbarian it could use that ability on a Pounce.)

No. Eidolon abilities function as eidolon abilities not what they close resemble.

*Edit= That comes from the playtest, but I am pretty sure its been answered again since then but my search fu is lacking a bit.

Yes, so you can take the Rake evolution and pounce but rake will only activate when you are grappling an opponent. Wont work after a charge even if you are pouncing.

"An eidolon grows dangerous claws on its feet, allowing it to make 2 rake attacks on foes it is grappling."


Thank you. I tried searching myself as well, but could not find if it was intentionally left out or accidently omitted.
