well kind of simple answer here:

your paladin willingly does all the evil to become a graveknight, as such stops being a paladin and becomes an evil undead. no problem so far.

but once you are a graveknight why on earth would you want to have atonement cast on you? you are an utterly evil creature with no reason to feel sorry for what you have done. It would take some very convincing roleplay and a damn good reason why you would ever get an atonement. likely when you go asking for it you'll get killed on the spot before you can even explain what you want.

important line from atonement : "This spell removes the burden of misdeeds from the subject. The creature seeking atonement must be truly repentant and desirous of setting right its misdeeds."

so while you can become a graveknight, going back to paladin is very unlikely, since you won't want to go back. going anti-paladin would be so much more logical

First off, i haven't read all the posts, since well, too much of them but:

The removal of the armor use is logic, it's the one thing that could push the eidolon over the top (mine had ac 35 with this at lvl 7), it's a 2 point evolution that potentially can give 25 or so ac. bit much. Removing that is ok imho, it makes the Eidolon more in range of the druid companion. (while still being advantaged by being more flexible in powers)

The changes to the summoning: not a good idea. The duration i could care less about, but only 1 summon spell up at a time combined with the limited spell-list of the summoner makes this class inferior in it's main purpose compared to similar classes (conjuration wizards and summonging druids).

The way i see the class (when first reading it) is that almost every ability of the summoner is to support the Eidolon. The spells you choose are to make the creature better (enlarge, haste, invisibility etc etc), the summons are there for when it's needed, and if you're doing it right you'll probably not be using this very soon in a combat unless you have a non-combat orientated Eidolon.

So i'd say yes to the first part about the armor and magic stuff, but no to the changes of the summons.
