hey all, i just leveled up in the ROTRL campagin ( now level 7) and am an assortment of classes ( each level basically a different class) and i went down the bodyguard feat tree. now, with the way my party is set up ( tank, rogue, healer, ranger, and mage) i want to be right next to the person i want so i can aid another them to make sure either the attack misses them or i get hit instead. but because of this, our rogue cannot get her Sneak attack off, but while browsing through the classes, i saw the summoners eidolon.
now, the way i see it, the eidolon, to me, is just a way around for me to be in 2 places at once, so the rouge can flank, and i can tank. now, because its gonna be a single level dip, i need to optimise this eidolon to be the best darn hardest thing to hit, which, i would love to hear some suggestions from you.
what i have so far is:
a small eidolon, -4 str -2 con +2 dex +1 size ac
aquatic: Str 12, Dex 16, Con 13, Int 7, Wis 10, Cha 11
evolutions:
Improved natural armor
Ability score increase (dex+2)
Feat:
leaning towards dodge but willing to take antagonize
here is how its gonna work flank, full defense or fight defensively, and that's it. if he does get hit, life link ability kicks in and i take the damage, so the -2 con from small size wont affect me at all since it will only have a max of 10 hp anyways.
so 20, 24 with mage armor, 28 from shield, 30 from fighting defensivly
10(dex+5 size+1 Nat Armor +4 mage armor+4 shield+4)
his damage is gonna be crap though, 1d3-1 but meh, worth it to help the rouge get off her +426 sneak attack.
anything you want to add in? or another class i should level in instead of this to help it out?
