Summoner, Eidolon Evolution Reach Question


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

Heya all,

I'm wondering if the reach evolution could be taken multiple times for the same attack (say giving the eidolon a 15' slam), a PFS GM told me that was wrong and before I play this character in a game tomorrow I would like the correct information.

From what I've found

Reach wrote:
Reach (Ex): One of an eidolon’s attacks is capable of striking at foes at a distance. Pick one attack. The eidolon’s reach with that attack increases by 5 feet

It doesn't say only pick this power once per attack like "Improved Damage."

Improved Damage wrote:
Improved Damage (Ex): One of the eidolon’s natural attacks is particularly deadly. Select one natural attack form and increase the damage die type by one step. This evolution can be selected more than once. Its effects do not stack. Each time an eidolon selects this evolution, it applies to a different natural attack.

However, Improved Damage does say it can be taken more then once.

I'm actually trying to complete a theme for my PFS Characters I have a Fire Sorcerer (human torch), Invisibility Wizard (Invisible woman), an Oread monk (the Thing), and this was my attempt at a Mr. Fantastic.

Thanks in advance for the help.


Nothing will have more table variation than an eidolon.

Technically you can only take that evolution once. At all. Not even for multiple attacks. Because it doesn't state the ability to take it multiple times like other evolutions.

That's what I thought (my Herolabs is bugged then.) I guess Stretch is going to be limited to 10' reach on his slam until he becomes large.


For Mr Fantastic you could try the aberrant sorcerer. I'm not well studied on those but they have some sort of reach.
