Broodmaster and favored class bonus for Eidolon HP


Rules Questions


For the various racial favored class bonuses where it grants +1 HP to your Eidolon's HP score. What if you have the Broodmaster archetype for the summoner class? Do you get the +1 HP to all your Eidolons or just 1 HP to eidolon of your choosing?


Considering that just as in case of certain Druids (Like Pack Lord) essentially the ability replaces the original but still acts like a single companion in regards to favored bonus, and that Pack Lord animal companions also benefit from the +1 for all animals, I would say that in this case too all the eidolons get the +1.

I disagree, I would say you have to pick a companion each time you gain a level, giving the extra HP to that companion. You could do a different one at each level, but each of the companions shouldn't benefit from it at every level.


I agree with carmanbeck. You add +1 HP to your eidolons' pool of hit points. This pool for a normal summoner just goes to one eidolon, but it goes to a collection of eidolons. You split up those hit points between them the same as you split the hit dice between them.

You would do the same for bonus skill points.


would make the archetype slightly better than its sad state if it did, but I am inclined to agree that even the bonus hp would be shared.
