I'm planning on making a Summoner for a possible upcoming campaign based on a World of Warcraft Warlock. With the ability to describe Eidolons however you want, I can describe my pet as a different demon each time I summon it- however, because you can't change its base form (ever), I'm a bit at a loss of which I should choose.
If I choose the quadrupedal form, I could either make it into a Felhunter or Dreadsteed (and I could even allow myself to ride it if I wanted), which would be cool. However, if I made it a biped, I could describe it as any of the other demons (imp, succubus, voidwalker, or felguard), and it could even wield weapons if I wanted it to. Which should I choose? I know both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Let me know what you think!
Go with the bipedal form. You'll have a lot of trouble emulating the effects of the Felhunter, so I'd just go ahead and pretend it doesn't exist. Or, you know, summon something with your Summon Monster ability & pretend it's a Felhunter.
Why not just use the WOW D20 rules?
Hmm, I didn't know there were WoW d20 rules. Are they Pathfinder-friendly? I may need to check that out.
And to Sean FitzSimon- yeah, I wasn't necessarily expecting to emulate all of the demons' abilities (though I'm sure I'd find a way to work something out, with magic items and whatnot). The thing is, the Felhunter is my favorite of the demons (with Felguard being my second favorite), so if they were perfectly equal I'd probably go with that. Like you said, though, it would probably be a lot easier to just summon something with Summon Monster for the Felhunter.

The WOW D20 rules are 3.5-based. So, yeah, it can convert to Pathfinder. No sure how well- especially if no one else is using it.
World Of Warcraft D20 rules are nice application of 3.5, but Pathfinder is better. Also, WoW D20 is discontinued for a long-long time (pre-TBC, I think).
It ws published by Sword & Sorcery (subdivision of White Wolf) and there is great possibility that they might have pdf still in sale but printed version might be hard to find.
Conversion shouldn't be much a problem, maybe except for Healer/Arcanist paths.
