So, I'm in the process of finishing up the Summoner's Handbook (thread is here) and I was wondering if anyone had any answers from the developers on the following questions.

1. Does the Augment Summoning feat boost creatures summoned with a Summoner's summon monster spell-like ability?

2. Can a Biped eidolon take the Bite evolution once, and then take it again to add 1 1/2 its Strength modifier to damage? The wording's unclear and there was a long debate on this one in the Summoner's Handbook thread.

3. The Eidolon's Share Spells ability says "A summoner may cast spells on his eidolon even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the eidolon’s type (outsider). Spells cast in this way must come from the summoner spell list." Does this apply to spells from scrolls or wands, eg can a Summoner cast a scroll of Shield on his Eidolon?

4. The description of the feat Summoner's Call says "You have the power to call your eidolon one additional time per day". The benefit says "Whenever you summon your eidolon, you may give it a +2 enhancement bonus to its Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. This bonus lasts 10 minutes after the summoning ritual is complete". Which is correct?

5. Is the Eidolon intended to get full HP from its first Hit Dice, or does it get half like other monsters?

Hey all - After noticing that there doesn't seem to be a handbook for the Pathfinder Summoner, I've started one. It's currently hosted on the Giant in the Playground forums, at this address:

The Summoner's Handbook

Any feedback, advice, comments etc. would be very welcome. The handbook's still under construction and is currently about half done (there's a lot of material to cover!) I'll post updates from time to time and might cross-post it over here if enough people find it helpful.
