DESCRIPTION

Whenever a creature you can see that threatens you makes an attack against one of your allies, as an immediate action, you can compel that creature to attack you instead. When you compel a creature to attack you, you must first overcome that creature’s spell resistance, and the creature can attempt a Will saving throw to ignore the compulsion. A summoner casting this spell can choose his eidolon as the target of the spell.

I plan on using this on my hunter pet ankylosaurus, using share spells.

I assume a few things.
1) it's his immediate action used?
2) it's an enemy he is threatened by? (These 2 seem clear to me as yes)
3) how many attack is it compelling? If the guy has a full attack option and I compel him, does he just use the first? The one I use the immediate action on? Or all of them?

I figure it'll do very well vs low will creatures, using my will dc. As a dwarf that's pretty decent and should carry into many later levels.

1) yes
2) yes
3) only the attack you immediate action.

3) I am not 100% sure about, I could be persuaded by a compelling argument to the contrary, but as it's am immediate action to "an attack" it would have to be pretty compelling.

[Cavall]

Yeah that's exactly where I'm at. Yes yes and maybe (?)

[dragonhunterq]

I'm a little more certain than "maybe", I'm actually a little bit beyond "probably", still nowhere near "sure" though. :)

[Cavall]

Yes, again, agreed. However, taking the first (and therefore most likley to) hit away from a mob seems the best way to keep others alive. Enough that I can pass on paired opportunists to the rogue as a move action the same turn (feat) and let him and the pet get some great attacks in while keeping him alive.

I am pretty sure #1 uses your Immediate action, not your targets.
As in, you spend an immediate action to intercept one attack that was intended to hit an ally.
Demand Offering is very clear that your target must spend an immediate action in the text;
"A creature that fails its save uses an immediate action to hand you whatever object it’s currently wielding or holding. If the target doesn’t have an immediate action available, it uses a move action at the beginning of its next turn to hand you the object.

Whereas this one says;
"...as an immediate action, you can..."
Which is pretty clear indication that you spend the action.
(Unless this is exactly what you meant and I simply misunderstood you ^_^)

#3 could be interpeted either way, depending on where you put the emphasis. It is entirely possible to read it both ways.
I would lean more towards the 1 attack only based on the fact that it is only a first level spell and so makes sense for it to be more limited rather then scaling in power the more powerful your enemies get.
1 attack per immediate action.
(but it could be the other way around ^_^)

The "his" would be my pets. Not my targets.
