Eidolons: The Constrictor


Advice

Silver Crusade

So, I was fooling around with the Summoner and came up with this Snake Form build for an Eidolon. I'm looking for suggestions or advice on how to fine tune it or shore up weaknesses I may not have thought about. You know, the usual feedback.

This was built at Level 16, without Evolution feats.

Evolution:

Evolution - Points: 18 (3 remaining)
Bite 1d6 - Base
Reach(Bite) - Base
Tail - Base
Tail Slap 1d6 - Base
Flight(20) - 2
Flight(Perfect) - 2
Grab(Bite) - 2
Constrict - 2
Bite(Adv) - 1
Flight(+20) - 1
Imp Dmg(Bite) - 1
Sting(1d4) - 1
Poison(Sting) - 2
Large - 4

Feats:

Feats 6
Improved Grapple
Final Embrace
Improved Unarmed Strike
Greater Grapple
Rapid Grappler
Hamatula Strike

I put the ability increase into Con for +2 DC to Poison Saves over a net +1dmg/Atk/CMB form adding it into Str, which gives me the stat block:

Stat Block:

Stats
Str 26
Dex 20
Con 20
Int 7
Wis 10
Cha 11

HD 12

Ref +8
Fort +4
Will +8

Speed 20
Climb 20
Fly 40

BAB: +12
Size: Large
Armor: +12 Natural Armor

It gets a +34 to grapple checks and upon each successful grapple does Constrict damage (2d6+12) as a bonus. After the first successful attempt the check becomes +39. Grapple feats provide for three checks a turn, and a modest penalty allows for recurring Sting attacks which apply a DC23 poison (1d4 Str dmg, 4 rds, 1 save to cure) which also trigger Constrict via Hamatula Strike.

Did I miss anything? Could I do it better?


Have the Summoner get a Ring of Spell Knowledge II to learn True Strike; that'll ensure your grapple hits against anything.
