I saw this in the summoner guide and was unable to parse how this eidolon was put together. It looks like his eidolon has 3 evo points at level 1 to spend on claws, pounce, and improved damage. How does this person go about achieving this kind of level 1 eidolon?
Half-elf Quadruped
Level 1:
Evos:
Claws, pounce, Improved damage (claws)
Feats:
Power Attack
Level 5:
Evos:
Claws, pounce, Improved damage (claws), Energy attacks, 4 extras
Feats:
Power Attack, Improved Overrun
The base chart gives an eidolon 3 evolution pool points at 1st level
so I'm not sure I understand your question
Also not sure I understand your question.
If you want an Eidolon, play a Summoner .
A Level-1 Summoner’s Eidolon has 3 EP to spend on Evolution Points and 1 Feat, according to the table on the PRD referenced above.
Each of the 3 abilities is a 1-pt evolution for the quadruped form eidolon and the Eidolon starts with a +1 BAB.
A base Summoner-5’s Eidolon has 8 EP to spend. If they chose the Half Elf Favored Class bonus for 4 levels for the +1/4 EP, that bumps it to 9.
Abilities above plus the 2-point Energy Attack leaves 4 EP remaining for the Half Elf with the Favored Class bonus.
Does that answer your question?

Woops. Didn't see the 3 evo points at level one, deleting thread.
