Hi,
Quick question here: Can an Unchained Eidolon exceed the maximum allowed attack per level if it uses feats or magic to do so.
For example, at 7th level, an Eidolon with two sets of arms, using a bow, has a "to hit" of +6/+1 per set of arms, or 4 attacks. The maximum allowable attack for a Eidolon of that level is 4 attacks. However, if the Eidolon has the Rapid Shot feat, can it shoot an extra shot per round per set of arms, or 6 shots per round. Also, if it is Hasted, can it then shoot 7 times a round.
Thank you very much for any input.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
This must be about the unchained eidolon, because the regular eidolon doesn't have weapon based limitations.
Technically, the max attacks only limits natural attacks. Weapon attacks merely count against this limit, but aren't themselves limited.
Max. Attacks: This indicates the maximum number of natural attacks that the eidolon is allowed to possess at the given level. If the eidolon is at its maximum, it cannot take evolutions that grant additional attacks. Attacks made with weapons, including those granted by a high base attack bonus, are counted against this maximum.

Thank you for your response.
Of course the intent may be different. I wouldn't be surprised if someday we got errata saying weapon attacks are limited too, but that's not what the current text implies.
