So using the evolution on myself, I could give my self more limbs, and go into multiweapon fighting correct? Asking because I don't see anything saying no I can't and I would like my summoner to not be totally hosed if my summoned beastie got dismissed.
This is an idea I'm running with now. Big E to ride around on with swallow whole, and me slicing up baddies.
Yep, that's perfectly legal. There's a few restrictions on the Aspect ability, but limbs are allowed.

The ability called aspect and greater aspect allow a summoner to do this, yes.
"Aspect (Su): At 10th level, a summoner can divert
up to 2 points from his eidolon’s evolution pool to add
evolutions to himself. He cannot select any evolution
that the eidolon could not possess, and he must be able
to meet the requirements as well..."

Ahh ok I might not have read that since I am only lvl 7 and stopped reading anything that doesn't pertain to me. Thank you for the response.

Not a problem, its definately a cool option for higher level summoners, and its a great boost if you have a summoner that doesnt shy away from direct combat, though there are lots of useful non-combat evolutions
Yeah, as soon as I hit that level I will be taking Acid Resistance or Water Breathing.
Maybe Greater Aspect will be a breath weapon if you get that many points lol.
Seriously, Aspect is probably one of the coolest of the summoner abilities. I'm rather hoping for a feat that allows them to increase the number of points they can divert from the eidolon to themselves. (It'd make for an awesome encounter for sure....A drow priestess with a male summoner at her command. The summoner has used aspect to become a drow/spider hybrid, while his quadruped base form eidolon looks like a drider....)
I'd also like to see it move to an earlier level...Perhaps get it earlier and have it scale more often.
The extra set of limbs is the way to go...
It does seem like a bit much though having the capability to dual-wield two-handed weapons. Also with ten levels of arcane archer and 10 levels of summoner and you can shoot 2 bows at the same time with heavily boosted arrows. Now granted it would take a lot of feats and you would have the standard penalties for Two-Weapon fighting.
Personally I like the idea of wielding one Two-hander, a shield, and still having the extra limb to cast spells and drink potions with.
Extra arms, lol. As if having some sort of dragon or tentaclebeast pet wasn't enough to freak out the townsfolk. Then again, this isn't that different from becoming a dragon disciple, you just have to go around using alter self spells.
Just think: a summoner with greater aspect could use 6 points to have a total of *8* arms. Quad bows! Eight shortswords at once! Thank goodness that by that point you don't have to worry about the summoner multiclassing very deeply into rogue unless you're doing an epic game. Sneak attack + 8 limbs = blender.

The balancer being the feat eating and the fact that neither of those two-handers are light. And the fact that the summoner is 3/4 progressive.
The second option seems very likely. That and arcane strike can make some slick bonuses to damage for the little four thumbed guy.
not sure that 2 legs can balance 8 arms much less 8 arms wielding swords, shields, ect I propose that you might have a decreased movement rate, balance problems perhaps even a dex penalty, might want to reconfigure that option especially if you ever plan on walking...
The Hecatonchires didn't seem to have that problem.
