I have some question regarding the summoner's eidolon.
the shadow meld feat says your eidolon gains 20% concealment in any condition other than bright light .
under the vision and light rules it says that torches and continual flame spells act as bright light from ranges of 0 to 20 ft and 20 to 40 feet as dim light .
But anyone in dim light gains 20% concealment already .
It seems the eidolon feat dose not work in torch light and has you pay 2 evolution points to get the same benefit you already receive by standing in dim light . is this how it really works ?
Also under shadow form it says the eidolon's melee attacks only deal half damage to corporeal beings is this natural attacks or includes all melee weapons you equip your eidolon with and dose it also apply to ranged weapons ?
One last one if you have shadow meld and shadow form dose the ability to turn off shadow meld also apply to shadow form ( can you turn both off as a free action or just shadow meld ) ?
and thanks for any answers
See that is what I was thinking ( the way you have said it works ) but .
The printing of pathfinder I have says that normal light functions just like bright light.
therefor your eidolons shadow meld would not work.
unless the wording is wrong and only day light and the daylight spell function as bright light and other forms of light function as normal light.
and thanks for the answers

"In an area of bright light, all characters can see clearly. Some creatures, such as those with light sensitivity and light blindness, take penalties while in areas of bright light. A creature can't use Stealth in an area of bright light unless it is invisible or has cover. Areas of bright light include outside in direct sunshine and inside the area of a daylight spell.
Normal light functions just like bright light, but characters with light sensitivity and light blindness do not take penalties. Areas of normal light include underneath a forest canopy during the day, within 20 feet of a torch, and inside the area of a light spell."
Normal light and bright light are separate. Normal light FUNCTIONS as bright light but is separate and has none of the penalties for light sensitive creatures that bright light confers. It also allows the eidolons to gain concealment.
Another advantage to the evolution Shadow Form (I think that is what you are referring to) is that it applies even if the creature you are fighting has low light vision or dark vision.
ah yep that is where i was getting throwed off and thanks for the help .
