There are two parts to the eidolon section.

1. If it dies it has 1/2 HP when next summoned.
2. You can't use the ritual to summon it until the next day.

The spell bypasses the second condition only. A slain eidolon will come back with 1/2 hp when summoned by the spell.

Ah, that makes perfect sense. Thank you for spelling it out for me; I didn't see that connection before.

can we get an official confirmation on this? I have a GM that doesn't accept forum answers as a ruling, but if its got a Paizo Official responding, that should be official enough for him I would think.

under rest, it shows the benefits and penalties. There are many more rules than "armored or unarmored." It also notes the following:

"For most creatures resting means sleeping. In some worlds some races can gain the benefits of rest simply by sitting quietly maintaining an awareness of their surroundings, while in other worlds those races must sleep, which leaves them vulnerable to attack."

Therefor I believe it not only depends on the module, but the DM. Which in the end, will always be the final say.

just my 2 cents, hope it helps.
