Eidolon Evolutions


Rules Questions


Thinking of making a summoner level 4

Level 4 Eidolon
Biped

i have 4 attacks so thats
2x claw with improved damage so 1d6 damage each
1x slam with improved damage so 1d10 damage

what 4th attack do I get with biped form?

So far with these evolutions its 3 points from the pool.

For the Slam evolution it says you can replace your claw attacks with slam does that mean you get 3 total slam attacks?


The claws you start with can be applied to either the arms or the legs, but since slam requires a set of arms you'll want to stick them on the legs. Now buy either a bite or a gore for the 4th attack (or another set of arms to get another slam).

I recommend just buying a second set of claws so you have them for the arms and legs and then just taking the improved damage (claws) - which increases all claws - so you can put more points in other things.


ahh good point

that way i can get weapon focus claws

1d6 is my favorite dice.

A cheap way to get 4 attacks is to add claws to the legs and drop the slam.

Then you can improve all 4 claws as a whole. Depending on how your GM interprets the "one natural attack form" term in the Improved Damage evolution, you can improve the damage for all 4 claws as a whole. You can stack the Improved Natural attack feat on top of this damage to further move the damage die one size category higher. So you can get up to a d8 damage die for each claw. You can also take Weapon Focus (claws) - that will improve your attack roll on all 4 attacks.

The great thing, of course, it gives you 4 attacks with minimal evolution point costs.

And if you are so inclined, you can add additional arms + claws as you level up. (Yes your eidolon will look weird). And all the improvements you've made so far will apply to the claw attacks as well.


Do you have to move the claws from your arms to your legs in order to take the slam evolution and keep the claws for attacks? You cant keep the claws and slam with the same arms?


I would spend one point of evolutions for second claws evolution, one point for improved damage (claws) and the remaining two points on +2 to Strength.


ya i was thinking about that i definitely want to buff strength.
