Could you evaluate my Elf Dragon Summoner level 5 build?


Summoner Class


Recently, my team has decided to playtest the new classes, in order to provide some feedback. I have built a Dragon Summoner but I have limited experience with Pathfinder 2e (and RPGs in general). As such, I would really appreciate your constructive criticism concerning both the direction I took with this class and the legality of the overall build, from the aspect of the game mechanics.
As a player, I am very fond of putting emphasis on developing my character based on their personal backstory I come up with. As a consequence, some choices might not be the “optimal” and certainly not on par with a “min-max” approach (for example, selecting the “Woodland Elf” heritage instead of, let’s say, “Cavern Elf” which grants darkvision).
If playtesting goes well, we plan to use my Summoner and a Magus that another player has created as NPCs in our campaign, so any advice concerning this potential role of the paricular character is also more than welcome and appreciated.

You can find my character sheet here but for convenience I describe the basic steps I took during the building process below. The Notes section contain information about my Dragon Eidolon.

Level 1:
Ancestry: Elf. Boosts in Dexterity, Intelligence and Charisma. Flaw in Constitution. Hit Points 6.

Due to my intelligence modifier’s boost, I become trained in Acrobatics and I learn Sylvan as an additional language.

Ancestry feat “Elven Lore”. Trained in Arcana and Nature, Elven Lore.
Heritage: Woodland.

Background: Cursed (from Adv. Player’s Guide, related to my backstory). Boosts in Intelligence and Charisma. Trained in Occultism and Curse Lore, gain the Warding Sign reaction.

Intelligence boost => trained in Athletics, I learn Abyssal (related to my backstory).

Additional boosts => Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Charisma.
Intelligence boost => trained in Diplomacy, additional language Necril (related to my backstory).

Class Dragon Summoner => boost in Charisma, additional hit points 10 + 0. Trained in Deception (instead of Arcana since I already have it) and Intimidation. Additional skils 3 + 3 (intelligence modifier) => Crafting, Performance, Religion, Stealth, Survival, Thievery. Learn draconic language due to my dragon eidolon.

lvl 1 summary:
Hit Points: 16

Ability scores: Strength 10, Dexterity 14, Constitution 10, Intelligence 16, Wisdom 10, Charisma 18.

Trained in: Acrobatics, Arcana, Athletics, Crafting, Deception, Diplomacy, Intimidation, Elven Lore, Curse Lore, Nature, Occultism, Performance, Religion, Stealth, Survival, Thievery.

Languages: Elven, Sylvan, Abyssal, Necril, Draconic.

Level 2:
Hit Points: 26

Skill Feat: Intimidating Glare

Summoner Feat: Synthesis

Level 3:
Hit Points: 36

General Feat: Deceptive Worship

Skill Increase: Intimidation to Expert

Level 4:
Hit Points: 46

Skill Feat: Lasting Coercion

Summoner Feat: Distracting Summon Spell

Level 5:
Abilitiy boosts => Strength 12, Dexterity 16, Constitution 12, Intelligence 16, Wisdom 10, Charisma 19.

Hit Points: 56 + 5 (due to constitution boost) = 61

Ancestry Feat: Fey Influence (Dryad) –related to backstory- => trained in primal DCs and spell attack rolls, gain fey trait and innate primal spell summon plants and fungi.

Skill Increase => Deception to Expert.

Final list of spells: Cantrips [Chill Touch, Acid Splash, Shield, Electric Arc, Tanglefoot], Innate Cantrips [Boost Eidolon], Innate Spell [Summon plants or fungi -1 per day-], Focus Spells [Evolution Surge], Spell Repertoire [True Strike, Unseen Servant, Agonizing Despair, Summon Construct] with 2 lvl2 and 2 lvl3 spell slots.

I already find difficult to understand what practically means that I am trained in both Arcana and Primal spell DC and attack rolls (due to my class and Fey Influence heritage feat). Can I also have access to primal spells?

I humbly apologize for every stupid mistake you may spot in my character sheet and I deeply hope that me and my team can contribute even the tiniest bit to making this awsome class an official reality!
