Puppeteer Summoner Advice and Ideas.

[Hyanda]

Hello fellow Pathfinders,

I'm trying to design a new character, and it will be under the guidelines of Pathfinder Society legal play. I want to make a summoner, with the idea that the eidelon will be as a puppet or marionette type of character. I'm familiar with the basics of the summoner class, but I was looking for any tips or cool ideas to bring this to life and give it some flavor. Any help or comments would be appreciated to help me get started on getting this on paper.

Thanks!

A standard Summoner with extended, reaching Marionette Possession could awesome. Better than a Synthesist, in my opinion. Similar effect, without giving up the extra feats and skills.

Permanent Reduce Person on your own body (works best for a gnome or halfling). Evolve a large or cast Enlarge on Eidolon. Cast MP, wear the eidolon body like a suit, stuff your own body into a backpack (so your body can't be targeted), have the eidolon wear the backpack, wreak havoc in his body, sacrifice your own hit points when his reach zero, etc, etc.

Since both souls are sharing the same body, and can communicate freely, get his advice on knowledges, appraisals, perception, sense motive and spellcraft (if he has the ranks)

Hmm....interesting. I'll have to read into some of these abilities.

My retired society character is a Summoner. He use to have a name, a proud name, a Gnomish name! That named, that person died when he became an adventurer. He called himself the pappa-teer because that his what his children called him. He worked as a puppeteer and travelled to the the capital of Cheliax to buy masterwork puppets when... When those... Those REBEL SCUM murdered his family because his family were LOYALISTS to the Empire!

Many loyal citizens of Cheliax lived in the Eastern lands if the great empire.

If this idea appeals to you, we could become the founding members of a New Woat Order making preparations to reestablish law and order in Ando... Eastern Cheliax. Or at least the lead(my PC is already a venture captain) and assistant of a subdivision of summoners already part if whatever committee is in charge of reestablishing the proper order if things in Eastern Cheliax.

The Gnomish pyromaniac alternate trait is great for invoking Cheliaxian themed Hellfire. Also great as an attack option for summoners as their spell list lacks attack magic spells.
