Summoner Eidolon Base form


Rules Questions


I know there are a ton of threads asking about the Eidolons base form. I propose a slight change in the Summoners Eidolon base form description for clarification and to allow the Summoner a bit more flexibility in being what he is. A Summoner.

Presently, the Summoner can only summon one base form of Eidolon. This I feel is restrictive to the Summoners purpose. By allowing the Summoner to choose any of the forms when he summons would allow him greater flexibility without changing his balance.

The Summoner cannot summon another Eidolon while one is active. So the Summoner would have to dismiss his present Eidolon and then spend the 1 minute and one of his summons abilities to bring forth a different base form. Additionally, if his present form dies, it returns whence it came and cannot be summoned until the next day. This could be modified to say, " If the Eidolons present form dies, the Summoner cannot summon that form until the next day." or just leave it at not being able to summon his eidolon at all.

Any skills / feats the Eidolon has is transferred to any of the forms. No changes can occur.

Evolution points spent can be spent on any combination of forms as long as no points remain. So, at 1st level you get 3 evolution points. You could spend all 3 on the biped form or between 2 forms or divide between all 3.
