Math question on Eidolon


Rules Questions


So basically I'm trying to maximize my Eidolon's strength.
20th Level Eidolon

Biped 16 Str Base
+8 Str/Dex Bonus
+3 Str from Increase Ability Score from Eidolon HD
+8 Str from taking Ability Increase at 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th
+16 from being Huge Evolution
-----
51 Str Total

Now my question is if I can bump it further by giving it a Belt of Physical Perfection +6 and possibly giving it a Manual of Bodily Exercise +5.

Im fairly certain the belt works, but can I give it the manual?


I don't see why not. None of the other bonuses are inherent. I assume your eidolon can read?


As long as the form has the appropriate magic item slots. Please refer to the Animal Archive book for more details.


Note that increased strenght cost double with huge evolution.


You made an eidolon that spent all 26 of its evolution points on maximum str?
Seems silly to me, but sure it works. I would skip the 8 str for 16 evolution points though, unless you are just trying to get the flat out strongest pet ever. It will be much more effective with those 16 points spent on things like extra attacks, grab, armor, flight and so on


I know I know it seems kinda silly, but with a 62 strength, it literally is stronger than every monster I can think of by about 20 points. I was gonna have it pick up Awesome Blow and use only slam attacks.

Im going for a cool build not necessarily optimal.

I am probably going to pick up Extra evolution so I can grab flight however.

Scarab Sages

Sounds cool.

Look out for 5' wide corridors and low ceilings.


Hes just gonna have to rip open building and squeeze through 10ft wide places.
