An Eidolon's Skill Point Totals


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

The descriptive text and the chart give different information regarding the totals of an Eidolon's skill points.

The description of the Eidolons Skills on page 33 of the Final Advanced player's guide playtest states

"Skills: This lists the eidolon’s total skill ranks. An eidolon can assign skill ranks to any skill, but it must possess the appropriate appendages to use some skills. Eidolons with Intelligence scores above the base value modify these totals as normal (an eidolon receives a number of skill ranks equal to 6 + its Intelligence modifier per HD). An eidolon cannot have more ranks in a skill than it has Hit Dice. Eidolon skill ranks are set once chosen, even if the creature changes when the summoner gains a new level."

But Table 3-3 in the Final Advanced player's guide playtest has them not gaining skill points every fourth level.

Which is correct? It would seem more appropiate that a creature get less skill points per level rather than not get skill points to spend at all when they gain a HD?

Because they don't gain a hit die at levels 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20. So no new skill points, either.
