My gm ruled that casting spells while merged with the Eidolon with the level 16 summoner ability Merge Forms uses the Eidolon's standard action. Was this intended to be the case?

I do need a ruling on the Level 16 Merge Forms ability. My GM has decided that casting spells while merged uses the Eidolon's standard action. I'm also disappointed in the class as a whole. I was hoping for more of a DR Moreau style (Transmutation), or a DR Frankenstein (Necromancy, or Transmutation for animated objects). The only part about the summoner I liked much was the fact that they get the bards ability to wear light armor. But no decent weapons to go with it to pair up with that better base attack bonus. Both the witch and summoner are limited list casters. The summoner is more of a partial caster fulfilling a support role like the bard does. Unfortunately it looses a good deal of effectiveness if you banish or kill the Eidolon. As for the Witch? The only problem I can see off hand is the Familiar spell book. Since the familiar holds your spells for you like a spell book for a wizard, if the familiar gets killed (I have a sadistic GM some days) you loose your spell book equivalent and have to start over from scratch. A wizard can make a second copy before hand, a witch is prety much boned. |
