Because a summoner’s eidolon can take many forms, you can use the class to represent a wide range of character types. If the eidolon takes the form of an incubus or succubus, the summoner becomes a diabolist. If it takes the form of a dragon, the summoner becomes a dragon rider. If it takes the form of a primal nature spirit, the summoner is a shaman. If the eidolon is a formless mass of horrific, shapeless flesh, the summoner becomes an alienist working with powers beyond his comprehension.
The Advanced Player’s Guide lacks room to present more than the most basic eidolon abilities, and Ultimate Magic logically must focus on the most popular magic-using classes. The summoner and his eidolon benefit greatly from additional options, each expanding the kinds of characters that can be created from one class, but such options are of necessity interesting only to players of that single class, and they take up a lot of room.
To help in that regard, Advanced Options: Extra Evolutions presents two new base forms (the hut and the ooze) and thirty-eight new evolutions. The evolutions focus on 1- and 2-point evolutions, and many provide additional color that adds to an eidolon’s build. With these new options, an eidolon can become a brass elephant with a built-in howdah, a horrific mass of shifting flesh, or a legendary animal spirit that can draw on any of nature’s natural defenses.
The product includes:
Two new base forms: the hut, and the ooze.
15 New 1-Point Evolutions: Air Mastery, Centipede, Earth Mastery, Guise, Hidden Compartment, Hyboreal, Ink Cloud, Luminescence, Metal Skin, Mimicry, Quills, Scintillate, Shell, Sprint, and Water Mastery
14 New 2-Point Evolutions: Bloody Spray, Camouflage, Corrode Metal, Death Roll, Deafening Roar, Drench, Formless, Hiss, Howdah, Metamorph, Mucus Cloud, Puff Up, Stench Musk, and Suction
6 New 3-Point Evolutions: Adhesive Lash, Darts, Dolorous Wounds, Offensive Digestion, Self-Destruct, and Suffocating Slime.
3 New 4-Point Evolutions: Gaze Attack, Lava Puddle, and Spores.
Is "hut" like Jabba the Hutt, or "small wooden structure related to the dire gazebo"?
It's not downloading.
Is "hut" like Jabba the Hutt, or "small wooden structure related to the dire gazebo"?The later. As in "Babba Yaga's Tiny"
So what you're saying is that not only can my Summoner feud with his Witch neighbour, but both their houses can get in on the action? Sweet! ;)
Just grabbed it and really enjoying it. Nice addition to the Advanced Options line.

Thanks! Feel free to write a review. :)

I have a question about one of the evolutions, but first of all I would like to mention how much I like this product. One of my players wanted to make an acidic snake eidolon, and this provided him with a lot more options to accomplish that goal. Keep up the good work!
Back to my question: the same player took the Darts evolution, and I wasn't sure whether or not his acid energy damage would apply to them. I assume that the darts count as natural attacks, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you taking the time. :D
Yes, darts count as natural attacks for that purpose. It's a little weird because they're natural ranged attacks, so when you're making rulings about darts in the future make sure it makes sense for a ranged attack, but in this case I think it's clearly fine.

Sounds good. Thanks again Owen. I'll be sure to pick up more of your products in the future.
