Eidolon Slam

[Erich L]

If a summoner had a biped eidolon, it starts out with 2 claws each doing d4+3 due to its 16 strength. If it had the slam evolution, does the slam replace its base 2 claw attacks with 1 slam attack at d8+5 damage since now it would only have 1 attack or does the slam replace each claw so it would have 2 attacks each dealing d8+3 damage? It only seems worth taking under the latter interpretation...

Quote:
The eidolon must have the limbs (arms) evolution to take this
evolution. Alternatively, the eidolon can replace the claws
from its base form with this slam attack (this still costs
1 evolution point).

Replace, being the operative word here. Getting a slam attack replaces the claw attacks. You lose two claws and gain one slam.

i read it to be 2x claws replaced by 1x slam otherwise it would be too powerful
on average claws would do 5-6 pts each while slam would do 9-10 based on your model so reasonably even to me
