Can 'eye for talent' boost an eidolon?


Rules Questions


Eye for Talent: Humans have great intuition for hidden potential. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Sense Motive checks. In addition, when they acquire an animal companion, bonded mount, cohort, or familiar, that creature gains a +2 bonus to one ability score of the character's choice. This racial trait replaces the bonus feat trait.


By a strict reading of the rules I would say no, since the trait specifically lists what is eligible and an eidolon is none of those things.

However if I was GMing and a player asked that I would allow it. So I guess ask your GM?


An eidolon is not an animal companion, familiar, or mount. So no.
