Re-summon Eidolon

[Trundell]

This is the first time I’ve had to GM for a PC running a Summoner. The PC was felled in battle (-2HP) and I told him his Eidolon was banished per APG page 55 last sentence of first paragraph, right hand column.

No argument there but we’re unsure of when the Eidolon could be re-summoned. If the Eidolon had died it would be 24 hours but there's no mention of a "cool down" for the it being banished by spell or Summoner death.

Assuming the battle is over, and the party is willing to wait for the revived Summoner to perform his minute long ritual can the Eidolon return?

There's no wait. As soon as the summoner is up again, he can take the time to summon the eidolon normally.

Thanks!

Also keep the 2nd level spell Summon Eidolon in mind -- that spell lets you bring the eidolon back in one round rather than one minute, but he is a bit more vulnerable to being banished by hostile spellcasters in that case. You definitely want to have that spell handy if you are a standard summoner whose eidolon is more powerful than any monster he could possibly summon.
