I had a player ask if his Eidolon contracted a disease if it would stick or fall off on the resummoning (after sleeping). I do realize that it is treated like a summoned creature. Therefore it should fall off.
At the same time, it is the same creature summoned over and over again. This gave me pause. *I was also curious how poison and other ability draining/damaging things would work.
Anyone wanna weigh in on this?
*EDIT = I was referring to how they would work should it stick.
Eilodons do not heal naturally, so therefore a disease it has contracted is still in effect. I would say however, the disease does not progress while it is unsummoned.
In order for a disease to be cured, magic would need to be used, or the eilodon must throw off the effects by making its Fort saves.

I must have missed that part. Where is it stated?

Can you quote it for me please? I have a lot of homework and can't afford to read the entire summoner class looking for the one sentence that clarifies it for me.
"A summoner can summon his eidolon in a ritual that takes 1 minute to perform. When summoned in this way, the eidolon hit points are unchanged from the last time it was summoned. The only exception to this is if the eidolon was slain, in which case it returns with half its normal hit points. The eidolon does not heal naturally."

Thanks for the perspective. I had a friend on another forum say nearly the same thing. The only real deterrent from this is the summoner has no spells to restore this. Thus either 'heal' only applies to curing HP and resting OR the Eidolon gets cleaned up each time it's resummoned.
The way it says the creature is a powerful outsider and is unaffected by Pro from Align feels like calling to me. Perhaps like how back in the day random adventurers could be summoned to into combat? :) Hmmmm indeed...
