I keep thinking I had seen a spell that can be used to allow a weapon or such to strike like adamantine....but now I can't find it anywhere...???
Also, any other methods of allowing an eidolon's strikes to bypass hardness would be appreciated ;)
Heart of the Metal in the ACG, there was another thread about hardness I'll see if I can find it.
Yes give him hooves, and then give the magical horseshoes that act like the amulet of mighty fists. Have the horseshoes be made of adamantine.

As long as hid eidolon can wear a necklace he can just buy a normal amulet of mighty fists. This is how most people get around DR for their eidolon.
Should have explained better....I'm doing synthesist...so hooves are out :P Amulet of mighty fists is a possibility....
Heart of the metal would be great...but it targets a weapon (not sure that would include natural weapons) and like SOOOooo many spells I want, is not on the Summoner spell list :(
It also looks like what I need is to bypass "hardness" in many cases...
I could certainly just train to use an adamantine weapon...but it kind of defeats the character concept.
Build your Evo suit on a bipedal basis and equip yourself with adamantine weapons.
This legitimately sounds like a fun idea for the Iron Gods campaign I'm running. You drink the fluids seeping from wreckage and find you suddenly have this weird space suit on that protects you.
Now...if I didin't consider synthesist summoners to be such a rules mess and annoyingly broken with stat choices it would be better. I'm also running the game so it doesn't matter much, I couldn't play it anyways.
If you are doing a synthesist, you can just carry an adamantine weapon as backup when needed.
Heart of the Metal isn't on your list, but UMD is one of your skills. Buy a wand or a few scrolls of Heart of the Metal. Use when necessary.
Just a big enough plus gets past DR, but I don't remember if it gets past hardness.
Increase general damage until a fair amount still gets through even if reduced by hardness. As I recall most of the things that have hardness or DR don't actually have a lot of hitpoints.
Trip, grapple, pin it until someone with a weapon can kill it.
Create pit is on your list. I think most of the things with hardness don't climb worth squat.

+4 Amulet of Mighty Fists will bypass DR/adamantine. AoMF is one of the best ways to go for a natural attack build since switching to a manufactured weapon can take a pretty big chunk out of your total to-hit and damage.
The enhancement bonuses from AoMF overcome DR in the following steps:
+1 - magic
+3 - cold iron/silver
+4 - adamantine*
+5 - alignment-based
* Note that this does not give the ability to ignore hardness, like an actual adamantine weapon does
So that'll get you more or less where you need to go.
