I was looking over the Eldritch Scion, and saw it doesn't have Eschew Materials. Both Sorceror and Bloodrager - the classes it gets the bloodlines/inspiration from - grant this feat, so it would seem that thematically Eldritch Scion should, too.
Granted, having a spell component pouch pretty much covers it, and is an easy fix, plus a lot of GMs don't even bother with material components rules unless it's the big stuff, but it still seems an odd omission.
Why was it omitted, or is that just an oversight?
When making archetypes Paizo is usually careful to ensure that for each thing swapped in there's another swapped out. I guess they didn't think they had an extra feat to swap out in order to put Eschew Materials in.
It was probably just a page space issue, much like how the eldritch scoundrel archetype for rogue specifically does not mention them getting a spellbook for free. Outside of PFS, I wouldn't see why eldritch scion wouldn't just get EM for free.
