How do you loot the body of an Eidolon?

[HappyDaze]

Eidolons (and those mounts paladins use) can move back to their extraplanar homes taking whatever they are wearing/carrying with them. OK, but now a problem. If I kill an Eidolon that happens to have some nice magic items on it and it goes away taking those items with it, right? So my loot disappears and I get nothing?

I think whatever it carries drops to the ground unless it is bound with it. In that case, yes you get nada, zilch, zero.

What do you mean by 'bound' in this case? Do you mean worn?

It doesn't have to be that way. See here for some thoughts on this by James Jacobs.

So if the items are on the eidolon - you get nothing.
