I have a question as I can't seem to be able to find any clarifying info on this, which might just be me being a dumb, but anyways: Does my Eidolon count as an ally for action/feat/spell requirements/targets? Specifically when the Summoner is targeting their own Eidolon.
For example Marshal's Back To Back feat (which would confer a benefit to an ally):
You excel at watching your allies' backs and helping them watch yours. As long as you and an ally are adjacent to each other, neither of you can become flat-footed due to flanking unless both of you are flanked. If you're adjacent to more than one ally, all eligible allies can benefit at a given time. The benefit is negated for everyone if at least you and any one eligible ally are flanked, but not if your allies are flanked and you aren't.
If so, how would this work in the case of the last sentence (if your Eidolon was flanked but you were not)?
And another example from Marshal in Topple Foe (a reaction that depends on an allies action):
Trigger - An ally succeeds at a melee Strike against an opponent you are both adjacent to.
You take advantage of the opening created by your ally to tip your foe off their feet. Attempt an Athletics check to Trip the target of the triggering attack.
Trying to find some interesting synergies with archetypes and Marshal seems like it could introduce some fun, useful options for a Summoner that would be fighting alongside their Eidolon.
