Hello all, my group is going to start an Iron Gods game soon and I've decided to play an android summoner. I know it's not really an optimized choice and that's fine. There are four other players so I'm not overly concerned at being the best of the best. That being said, I'm looking at making the eidolon a quad, probably start with the single attack at first and add more attacks as I level up. I don't have much more planned mechanically for him otherwise. Cosmetically while I haven't decided on a final look for him, the eidolon will appear to be at least partially mechanical, and unfinished. Patches of skin missing here and there exposing gears or whatnot underneath. As I level up the eidolon will look more and more 'finished'.
As for the summoner himself, I don't plan on taking Cha over 16. I'm thinking Str as secondary then assigning the remaining stats depending on how I roll. Non pfs game in case any were wondering. Looking at using a longspear and after casting my buff spells, unless other magic is called for following up behind my eidolon and attaching from reach. I'm not that familiar with the summoner spell list so I'll take all suggestions I can get.
One last bit of flavor I'm considering, when summoning my eidolon or using the SM SLA they would appear from a small nanite swarm that eminates from me to where they appear, as they Rex into our plane. Not sure if the rules frown upon making up your own special effects.
I'm not looking for an uber optimized build, just something that can be at least somewhat effective and fun.
