Making an eidolon's natural attacks count as silver for overcoming DR


Rules Questions


I'm currently playing an unchained summoner, and our party has gotten a heads up that we'll be fighting werewolves soon. My eidolon is a biped with two claw attacks and three tentacle attacks, and is one of the main damage dealers in the party, along with our inquisitor and rouge. We recently fought a flesh golem, and the eidolon couldn't do enough damage to bypass the adamantine DR, and I'm worried that the same will happen when we fight werewolves. Does anyone know of any spells or magic items that will allow my eidolon's natural attacks to count as silver for the purpose of overcoming DR? I've googled and flipped through a bunch of books and can't find anything. Thanks!


Eldritch claws feat... Not exactly what you're looking for but it's something.

Silversheen...can be applied to weapons and acts like alchemical silver but isn't restricted to "metal" like alchemical silver, so maybe ?


I know very little about Summoners and Eidolons, but if the latter can wear items, a Golembane Scarab is a great investment for the modest cost.

As far as DR/cold iron or silver, I don't know your level, but an Amulet of Mighty Fists +3 would allow your attacks to bypass those. Might be too expensive, I don't know.

Silversheen...that might be a DM call, but it would be far cheaper than the AoMF.

Good luck.


First you give your eidolon fire resistance, then you apply weapon blanches. Perfectly reasonable! This will only work for your first attack with each appendage, though.

We just got done with a "dungeon crawl" so I might have the gold depending on how much we get. Thanks for the suggestion!


amulet of might fists or eldritch claws, cold iron takes an aasimar feat tho so you wont be able to have your edolon take it


Versatile Weapon

As a wand, a scroll, an oil, or known by someone in the party.

All your dr bypassing needs, that arnt alignment or adamantine or /- or epic.

So SOME of your dr bypassing needs...

(Type 3 ring of spell knowledge and a bard ...)
