Maker's Call


Rules Questions


Can Maker's Call be used to bring others along with the Eidolon?

The specific example I'm working with is this. There is someone trapped in a sinking ship, alone with an Eidolon. It's unknown if that person is conscious but assumed to be unconscious. Can Maker's Call be used to transport the Eidolon and the assumed unconscious person safely off the sinking, presently underwater, ship?


Not one response?
I realize this seems straight forward, but I have thought that about other abilities only to be proven otherwise.
It functions as Dimension Door using the Summoner's CL. Dimension Door provides rules for bringing others based on CL.


When I played a Summoner the DM allowed it to bring others along as Dimension Door. Specifically, Makers call says "This functions as dimension door, using the summoner’s caster level" and says nothing about restricting it to the Eidolon only. YMMV as there may be FAQ or errata involved that I don't know.


At 6th level, as a standard action, a summoner can call his eidolon to his side. This functions as dimension door, using the summoner’s caster level. When used, the eidolon appears adjacent to the summoner (or as close as possible if all adjacent spaces are occupied). If the eidolon is out of range, the ability is wasted. The summoner can use this ability once per day at 6th level, plus one additional time per day for every four levels beyond 6th.

It says they can call their eidolon. After that, it says it functions as dimension door.

So as per dimension door, but working on their eidolon.

Probably ONLY the eidolon, but could be read either way... unclear as written, up to GM. I would restrict it to just the eidolon.

I seem to recall looking on the boards at the time and coming to the same conclusion.


Thank you. I'm not up in all the errata and to me it read as you could bring others but had to use up travel space with the Eidolon first and are restricted to the set location of the caster/Eidolon.
