How's Beast's Fury Work?


Rules Questions


Hey folks,

I'm running a mythic game for some friends and have gotten a little confused on how the Hierophant's Beast's Fury ability is suppose to function (whether by RAW or by Intention).

Beast's Fury:

As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to imbue your animal companion, cohort, eidolon, familiar, or bonded mount with some of your mythic power. As an immediate action, that creature can move up to its speed and make an attack with one of its natural weapons. When making this attack, the creature rolls twice and takes the higher result. Any damage dealt by this attack bypasses all damage reduction. A creature affected by this ability can take these actions in addition to any other actions it takes during its turn.

The most specific questions that have come from my summoner/eidolon player has been something like this:

When does the eidolon take the immediate action? At the beginning of the day can the summoner expended one use of mythic power and then the Eidolon can take the immediate action any time during the day?

I thought it sounded like it worked similar to the Marshal's Decisive Strike ability, but the Marshal's ability says nothing about immediate actions. If it does work like that then is it just a worse form of that ability since it cost both the summoner and the eidolon their swift/immediate action? Or is it a crazy good anti-spell caster as the eidolon just jumps on anything attempting to cast by using its immediate action?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!


You expend the swift action. As a result, the eidolon then expends an immediate action to do its thing. That's pretty much it. It's like casting magic missile--you expend the action, and then missiles happen. They don't happen some time later that day.
