Starting at 2nd level, a summoner can, as a standard action, share the senses of his eidolon, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and touching everything the eidolon does. He can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to his summoner level. There is no range to this effect, but the eidolon and the summoner must be on the same plane. The summoner can end this effect as a free action.
OK, So I tried looking up in past threads but I could not find an answer to my question. Bound senses say that the summoner shares for a number of rounds the senses of his eidolon. However, the way that perception is written it feels like it is how you use your senses and knowing what to sense. For instance knowing what to look for or hear for makes a big part of the perception skill. Although I am sure the physical ability does have some part in the role as well because you also train your senses an thus they are sharper.
So when using this ability, who's perception skill do you use for noticing what the summoner is looking for? Do you use the Eidolon's perception, the summoner's or can you use the highest skill and gain the benefit of aid other from the other?
I am open to any answer but I would like to go with the most unanimous answer.
I would go for the summoner skill+stat bonus+feats without any racial special quality for the summoner race.
The "racial" bonuses would be those of the eidolon if he get any.
OK, So racial bonus from the eidolon but not from the summoner. So technically I could use my summoner's perception score minus racial bonuses and if my Eidolon has the skilled evolution for perception I would gain a +8 the total score before the roll sense the skill evolution is a racial bonus. Is that correct?
Starting at 2nd level, a summoner can, as a standard action, share the senses of his eidolon , hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and touching everything the eidolon does.I would use the skill of your eidolon. You see everything what the eidolon is seeing/hearing/smelling, nothing more or less. You can use the senses of the eidolon over distance, that is the benefit of bound senses. It is not for boosting your own skill ..
