I've been considering trying to stat up a summoner and her eidolon for when I get the opportunity to use them, but a few things has me a bit confused.
First of all, I'm looking at making an eidolon that's essentially a big skeleton megaloceros (giant elk). So the quadruped base form is kind of a given, but I have no interest in the bite attack that comes with the package since I'd be going for a gore attack instead, so...
1. Can I get rid of the bite attack somehow, like when leveling or just dismissing it from the start? I don't really mind it being there I guess, but...
2. "Eidolon attacks add the eidolon’s Strength modifier to the damage roll, unless it is its only attack, in which case it adds 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier." Am I right in assuming that this means that I need to get rid of the bite to get the higher STR bonus on the gore?
3. Eidolons get multiattack eventually, does that mean that I lose the 1-1/2 bonus since it has more than one attack, even if it is of the same type?
4. A minor thing but if I can get rid of the bite, is it possible to get a refund on it? It's a 1 point evolution normally and gore costs 2 points, so it would be nice if I got to mitigate the cost of the weapon I prefer this way.
5. Do eidolons take their equipment with them when they're dismissed and re-appear with it when summoned again or does it just drop to the ground the instant they go poof?
