Recognize Eidolan & Eidolon's Summoner?

[Sigurd]

I'm thinking it often might be a better tactic to kill the summoner rather than the Eidolon.

What are the general steps for one force to recognize:

A) This is an Eidolon

- Knowledge Planes? Arcana?

B) His summoner is that guy!

In general, the Identical Runes that show up on both summoner and eidolon is a hint

[Snowlilly]

Unless the summoner is wearing a hat or helmet.

[VRMH]

If the Summoner is Humanoid, Knowledge (local) will do the trick.

[Cavall]

Look for the guy wearing a helmet. No one else would be. Just saying.

This doesn't bode well for my questions on Occult Skill Unlocks...

What if the eidolon has no proper summoner in question?

You know... a rogue eidolon.

[Cavall]

You'll recognize them because they flank. Damn rogues.
