Hi James, first off, awesome of you to answer all these questions...
and now for 2 of my own.

1)any chance that there will be a PF (official) version of the "Improved caster level" feat or something that has a similar effect it? i love multi classed characters and spellcasters are pretty brutal to do it with.

2)Urgotha is one of my favorite, and one of the most interesting gods to ever appear in an RPG. will we be seeing anymore specific information about her/her followers etc...?

^^^^ kyrt, i agree 100%. perhaps we should let the summoner sit and chill for a few, and not powergame our selves out of a really cool class; maybe then we can figure out why the starting witch hexes are so terrible : )

in my opinion if you only allow the summoner to have one SM in effect at once, why not allow the duration to be 1 min/level? the other changes are great, and make sense but this might kill the flavor of the class.

ok, not what i was hoppen to see, but thanks all.

maybe im missing something, so if anyone can help it would be greatly welcomed. can a summoner change the base form of there eidolon at a new level? ( i.e. if at first level my eidolon is a quadraped, could at second level, i remake it as a biped? )thanks.

some thoughts on the summoner. ( and im biased, right off i love em )

first: SM spells have a tendency to loose there combat effectiveness at the higher levels ( they do remain the most utilitarian ones however ).

second: at mid levels ( 7th + ) a druid will be about 6 summons a day ( the highest level SM available at the level in question )behind the summoner, with all the other spells the druid has available to them i don't believe this makes the summoner OP.

third: i do not see why the summoner has a d8 HD and a 3/4 BAB. this seems a little out of concept even though there not "full" casters.

fourth: as for the eidolon. i love the idea, but there are people out there ( as we can see from these forums ) that will build them for pure power and not care what they look like or how they fit into the game, or even the theme of their characters. i hate to say it, but for this reason they should probably be changed.

i haven't run for one yet, and mine is only 3rd level, so i will reserve judgment on them for now. they are however the first "true" pet class we have seen, as i think there freaken cool : )

was the party's fighter ok with given a pet a +1 great sword and a str belt +2?
