I'm making an Eidolon build that involves hitting a lot and dealing elemental damage and I noticed that the 2 point evolution Energy Attack seems like it can be taken multiple times. Is this correct?
"An eidolon’s attacks become charged with energy.
Pick one energy type: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. All of the eidolon’s natural attacks deal 1d6 points of energy damage of the chosen type on a successful hit. The summoner must be at least 5th level before selecting this evolution."
It says pick one energy type, but that is for when you take the evolution. Can't you pick it multiple times and pick up multiple energy damage dice?
You can choose this evolution multiple times, but not the same energy type. In other words, you cannot choose Acid twice in order to spam or stack Acid damage dice. One die of damage per energy type per evolution.
You can choose this evolution multiple times,
I see nothing to suggest that.
Here's the full wording:
Energy Attacks (Su): An eidolon's attacks become charged with energy. Pick one energy type: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. All of the eidolon's natural attacks deal 1d6 points of energy damage of the chosen type on a successful hit. The summoner must be at least 5th level before selecting this evolution.
Do you have a citation to override the general "each evolution can only be selected once" rule?
Ugh. Not at all. Nothing to counter that "only selected once" bit. In all the times I read the Summoner, that one sentence sure is easily over-looked!
