A “Redeemer of Souls” Summoner – Eidolon Help!

[LibraryRPGamer]

Hi Everyone,

I’m working on a few ideas for my 2nd PFS character. One of the characters I have in mind is a Summoner that is a “redeemer of souls”. By that, I mean he is sort of a supernatural parole officer – one who guides a spirit of a once murder/fallen-hero/evil-doer through the martial plane so they can do good works to obtain a better afterlife.

The intent is to have a good character and a good undead/shadow companion – something similar to the Undead Lord cleric, but, allowable in PFS.

Summoner:

This summoner is weak and close to death. His final act in life (so he believes) is to travel the world to help redeem the soul of his supernatural companion.

FEATS: Extra Evolution
TRAITS: Reactionary, +1

SPELLS: Enlarge Person, Mage Armor(?)

That’s the easy part…I’m not sure what to do about my eidolon.

I picture this eidolon as a type of ghost or other shadow creature with a mix of the flavor/personality of the Risen Martyr from Exalted Deeds.

Basically, I want it to eventually have all of the undead/shadow eidolon abilities. But, I’m worried about how effective it will be in combat – especially once the eidolon becomes incorporeal via Shadow Form. I’m thinking of having the Eidolon focus more on stealth/skills than damage, but I don’t know how good of an option that is. I'm not out to make a combat brute, but, I do want something that can contribute to the party.

Eidolon at 1st level:

Biped, 4 Evolution points

Skills: Bluff, Craft, Disable Device, Heal, Intimidate, Know Planes, Perception, Sense Motive, Stealth, UMD

Feat: ??????

Evolutions: Claws (B), Legs (B), Arms (B), Shadow Form (2), Skilled: Stealth (1), Unnatural Aura (1)

Thanks for the help!

It's a very neat idea. Sorry I can't offer any advice, but know that you've inspired me to actually look at playing a summoner myself :)
