summoner eidolons question

[neferphras]

so the summoner right up says it can take any feat it qualifies for.

can they take the 'Additional Traits' feat which has no qualifications? I would think yes but thought i would ask.

[Artanthos]

By RAW, yes.

[Starglim]

Yes. It still has to meet any prerequisite for each trait and the limit on traits of each type.

[neferphras]

ok so this is where prerequisite gets to be an odd term. Most traits dont officially list a pre requisite
so lets say Heirloom Weapon
Is that legal with an Eidolon?
I can , in theory, see an angel/devil based Eidolon having a weapon passed on, Is that good to go.

same conversation on Iron Liver

RAW??

RAW = Rules As Written

Also technically means 'letter of the rule' but not always spirit of the rule.

For example. additional traits doesn't have a 1st level prereq, but a lot of those traits make more sense as history based. Others could do it, since they're more like extra snippets of training or quirks. A spellcaster could technically use this to gain one or two magic traits that adjust metamagic or other features later on versus early

whether or not that was intended though...

[neferphras]

ok cool, that will effect my jump to second level redo.
