A summoner and his eidolon share a mental link that allows for communication across any distance (as long as they are on the same plane). This communication is a free action, allowing the summoner to give orders to his eidolon at any time. In addition, magic items interfere with the summoner’s connection to his eidolon. As a result, the summoner and his eidolon share magic item slots. For example, if the summoner is wearing a ring, his eidolon can wear no more than one ring. In case of a conflict, the items worn by the summoner remain active, and those used by the eidolon become dormant. The eidolon must possess the appropriate appendages to use a magic item.

Our group is pretty good with initiative rules, including the RAW way to break tied initiative scores above, but we almost never use the RAW trigger for being flat-footed due to not having acted yet as RAW above.

I think this is just down to the way we play. Most of our combats takes place either in a generally hostile location where the party is already on-guard, and we don't have many...

It can be quite important if you have rogues with good initiative, because then they can an easy sneak attack.

If I am understanding it correctly, the question isn't about items that require a specific caster level and bypassing that requirement, it's about making an item that doesn't need a specific CL, then setting its CL to a level higher than wizard's level by raising Spellcraft's DC by 5.

I believe the wizard can scribe the scroll and have the sorcerer cast the spell for him to make the scroll, then learn the spell from the scroll.
