So I was in the shower this morning thinking about my least favorite class (the Summoner) and what someone could do to make it a little less ridiculous. My mind started wandering and I thought of an old TV show used to watch as a kid.
And then, slowly at first, the parallels started to add up.
The summoner is an arcane spellcasting class that relies on one (or more) minions to battle for them. Using their 'spells,' a summoner is able to beef up their eidolon. As the eidolon grows in power, they earn 'evolution' points to 'grow' in power. The summoner's key ability score is Charisma, which is widely known as the strength of your mind or personality.
Charisma could also be tied to the strength of your virtue.
You're summoning a weird monster that no one knows existed, making it fight for you and as you and it grow stronger it evolves into new forms. You increase its powers via a well-defined mean and if it dies, it will simply re-materialize later.
Why yes, I'm calling it.
Eidolons are actually Digimon.
Summoner Spells are like the cards from Digimon Tamers.
The Summoner is either a Digidestined or a Digimon Tamer (your preference).
Mind = Blown
