so having seen multiple pfs summoners at my local game stores, i decided i wanted to make a summoner with a different flavor, whose eidolon wasn't some combat monster but something similar to a pixie-ish skill monkey. basically see him as a primarily a support character, few offensive spells but mostly buffs.
has anyone attempted to do this? if so what decisions did you make with your eidolon? i'm not sure if you can choose bipedal and lose the claws option because that really isn't fitting, but i would like to. also some evolution to make it tiny would be nice (i'm not sure why they didn't include smaller evolution choices while they included large/huge).
maybe a small eidolon who focuses on tripping with a reach weapon to help out the other melee classes in combat?
i would think a half elf (for the favored class bonus) would be nice. plus you can more easily qualify for getting eldrith heritage + improved familiar for a lyrakie familiar, who could be similar to your eidolon at later levels. also the ability to summon fey creatures with good skills and the ability to cast spells is nice.
the nymph in particular seems like a powerful support character, since she is a 7th level druid.
does anyone know if there is a rule for summoning a nymph with a different spell list than the bestiary lists? one of those spells is useless when summoned, she gets summon nature's ally 4 as default on her spell list which she cannot cast if she is summoned.
thanks in advance :)
I realized being a melee/trip build for eidolon wouldn't be that good, since the first worlder eidolon only has half the bab of a normal one.
Summon Pugwampi. most. annoying. creature. EVER.
