I know that Eidolons can not use armor of any sort, but can they use magic items such as rings, amulets, belts, etc? I'd like to protect my Eidolon with a Ring of Protection, and when I have the $ a Ring of Freedom of Movement. I'd also like to eventually get a Belt of Giant Strength for the Eidolon. If I invest in these kinds of magic items, can my Eidolon use them?

Hi everyone.

I'm here because in the last few sessions that i'm mastering, i've encountered some trouble with the eidolon of one of our party member.

The problem is that they're at lvl.6 and the Eidolon is just too powerful, meaning the other party members usually just wait for him to get rid of enemies (getting tired and nervous).

It is a quadruped Eidolon:

HP: 39
AC: 22
TS: 6/8/1

BAB: 5

STR: 20
DEX: 18
CON: 14
WIS: 10

Feats:

Improved Initiative
Power Attack
Cleave

Evolution (with 2 extra evolution):

Claw (1p)
Improved N.Armor (1p)
Pounce (1p)
Tail (1p)
Sting (1p)
Ability Increase STR (2p)
Ability Increase DEX (2p)
Energy Attacks (2p)

Items:
Belt of STR +2

Attacks:

Bite: 5 (BAB) + 5 (STR) + 2 (Charge) - 2 (P.Atck): +10
Claws (x2): 5 + 5 + 2 - 2: +10
Sting: 5 + 5 + 2 - 2: +10

Damage:

Bite: 1d6 + 5 (STR) + 4 (P.Atck) + 1d6 (Energy Atck): 16
Claws (x2): 1d4 + 5 + 4 + 1d6: 30
Sting: 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 1d6: 16

Tot: 62 Damage when charging.

What should i do to conciliate the power thirst of our Summoner with the Balance desire of the others party members (Wizard, Cleric, Fighter)?

Thx in advance, and sorry for my english :)

I suggest you focus your attention not on the Eidolon, but on the Summoner. It seems the problem you describe is that you are on the defensive, and the Eidolon is the aggressor. At 6th level, your bad guys are intelligent enough to discern the Summoner is in charge of the Eidolon, which is kicking the rest of your bad guys' backsides. Let the Eidolon charge/pounce on the apparent bad guy threat then you strike at the Summoner cowering in the rear of the party. If, as you say the Wizard and Fighter, are unhappy that the Eidolon is stealing all the fun, they won't rush to aid the Summoner--that'll be left to the Eidolon to charge back through its own party members to rescue the Summoner. Before it arrives, put the Summoner to sleep or dominate the Summoner as has already been suggested. This approach will work time and time again for you. It will be very difficult for the Eidolon to wipe out your bad guys if he has to spend all his time pulling the Summoner's fat out of the fire.
