reason why its confusing is in my opionion if your spell has only verbal components who cares if i'm grappled i'm still able to "yell, shout, whisper, and say" any spell phrase out there i just can't do the somatic components and reach for material components. that alone makes me feel that the 10+(cmd of other grappler)+spell level is redundant for casting it but the gm i'm with states its the rules. i can understand being a little bit removed from being able to cast like a defensive cast check being reasonable but not the cmb rules.
question for spellcasting with verbal only spells (dimension door, metamagic spelled spells (still spell / quickened still spell). would the players have to make the concentration check or not due to rules from grappling or would the feat allow the player to cast the spells while grappeled or would they still have to make a concentration check to cast the spells. if possible any response would be great. *pokes paizo*
well i think my DM wants to be evil after reading about the summoner to show why he thinks its way to powerful >.< our party (6 level 7's) vs a level 11 summoner 8 for energy(all elements immune) , 3 for DR, 2 for armor, and 2 for weapon so his eidalon will have 30 ac and 27 flatfooted AC >.< and our magic users will not be able to hurt it >.< *glares at evil DM* lol but meh its gonna be fun (going to convince the party to kill the summoner only and ignore the eidolon)
well another thing my DM noticed that could be potentially Overpowered is the fact that the eidolon could be immune to all the basic energy types at level 7 making it godly vs spellcasters and dragons. one way to be balanced could be to make that one limited to 2 immunities max or each time you take it doubles the point cost to get it ie (1 immune = 2 points, 2nd immune = 4 points (total 6)3rd could be 6 points (12 points)) |
