<p>Rejuvenate Eidolon, Lesser
<br />
School conjuration (healing); Level summoner/unchained summoner 1</p>
<p>CASTING
<br />
Casting Time 1 standard action
<br />
Components V, S, M (a drop of your blood)</p>
<p>EFFECT
<br />
Range touch
<br />
Targets eidolon touched
<br />
Duration instantaneous
<br />
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no</p>
<p>DESCRIPTION
<br />
By laying your hand upon an eidolon, you cause its wounds to close and its form to solidify. This spell cures 1d10 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +5).</p>
<p>Note that this specifies Eidolon touched and the descriptive text is different to normal healing spells.</p>
<p>I answer this because I'm happy with the figment familiars heal naturally so the thread can be derailed.</p>PCScipio wrote:Kimera757 wrote:Do figment familiars keep their Con scores?

</p>
Starting at 1st level, a summoner forms a close bond with his eidolon. Whenever the eidolon takes enough damage to send it back to its home plane, the summoner can sacrifice any number of hit points. Each hit point sacrificed in this way prevents 1 point of damage done to the eidolon. This can prevent the eidolon from being sent back to its home plane.</blockquote><p>Do figment familiars keep their Con scores?

<p>Figments are born from their masters’ imaginations rather than being ordinary creatures that are awakened.</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>If a figment ever strays more than 100 feet from its master or enters an antimagic field, or if a figment’s master is unconscious or asleep, the figment disappears until the next time its master prepares spells or regains her spells per day. Because it is a being of its master’s mind, a figment can never serve as a witch’s familiar, a shaman’s spirit animal, or any other spell-granting familiar, and it can’t use any divination spells or spell-like abilities the base creature has.</p>
<p>Then at higher levels they get a small pool of points to allow some Eidolon evolutions. So they're sort of a mental projection the question is how real they are when projected and whether they'd be under as responses here indicate normal healing rules or if they'd be under Eidolon healing rules, they wouldn't at least be under construct or undead healing rules.</p>
