How does the Evolve Base form Rule Work?


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

I'm building a Story Summoner from the Harrow Handbook, and at level 8 you get an ability called "Evolve Base Form"
This ability allows you to change your eidolon's base form every time you level up, but how exactly does that work?
Does it change which evolution you have, because you're getting a different base form and therefore different starting evolution? Do your stats change? How in the world does this ability work?


every level you get to assign your evolution points however you want. But normally you have to have the same base form. If you change the base form you are creating a completely new eidolon, so everything is based off of it's form and what evolutions you can take for that form. Does that make sense?

If you look at the Harrow cards, you will notice that quite a few of them have subjects of different basic forms. As the 'Storykin' Eidolon is as much an Avatar of the Harrow as it is a normal Eidlon, the ability to shift between forms which reflect the different cards makes a degree of sense. In some ways more so than the Evolutionist's Eidolon's ability to change their base form at later levels.
