Eidolon (Level 4 summoner, quadraped):
evolutions: arms, simple weapons, hooves, mount, and pounce
feats: two-weapon fighting and defense
Weapons: masterwork large and small mace

Throw a Halfing summoner on him:
Weapon: Masterwork lance
Feats: Mounted Combat, Ride-By attack

So if the halfling mounts a charge and the pair pounce... What are the attacks I'm making?

Does the eidolon get both weapons, plus hooves? Then the rider gets a lance attack? Does the primary bite figure into this? Or is it just weapons only from both?

Also, can mage armor apply to the eidolon? They can't wear armor as per rules. Does the spells force defense count?

In the campaign I am currently running one of my players is a Gnomish Paladin. I love his concept of taking evil out at the knees, but I'm running into a few issues around lawful good. The party is currently up against a goblin and hobgoblin based bad. They are a threat to the local villages and cities. They set off the detect evil alarm. And gnomish society hates goblins and has a rather deadly view of how they should be dealt with. So there's a clean slate to go off and protect the realm, bisect some goblins and that should be the end of it.

But what if a goblin asks for quarter and the Paladin ignores the goblinoid and kills him? Is he headed for a fall?

If he's following the laws of his society, they are sworn enemies of the goblins. That leaves me a little confused on obeying laws, dealing with the threat, and where mercy would fit in to this picture.

I'm running a campaign following the Red Hand of Doom, and I have some players showing interest in firearms. I'd love to run with it.

But that brings me to the retooling aspect. Obviously lines of goblins with exploding fire javelins would be good for humor, but I want some real gun toting threats.

The easiest adaptation flavor wise seems to be making Wrymlord Saarvith into some mix of Gunslinger or Ranger (Trophy Hunter.) But I worry about lowering his threat with the lack of Manyshot, no companion, and needing time to reload.

Any build or tactics suggestions? How about for likewise arming the rest of the horde?
