dedications and archetype

[Verzen]

since the Eidolon is 90% of the class, multiclassing will just be worthless. The idea of making an evolution to provide the Eidolon with a dedication. But instead what eould make the most sense is a built in option that, "Whenever a dedication is taken, this dedication applies only to your Eidolon and not to you. It counts as an evolution and all abilities granted by that dedication (or archetype) are considered evolutions.

I think this would, overall be better. Otherwise the issue that would come up is that multiclassing as a summoner is significantly worse than other classes.

Uh, you mean some other hypothetical build of the class right?

A concern I've seen repeated by others is that Archetypes, including multiclass archetypes, are significantly more attractive than class feats at this point because it makes the Summoner themself significantly more potent to pick up actions via multiclassing.

For example, I've seen people other than myself confirming Medic is exceptionally strong. Bard almost certainly is very strong, and I've been hypothesizing a multiclass Champion build that stands next to the Eidolon and gives foes the wonderful choice of swinging either into a Champion Reaction or Sturdy Shield, with DPS that exceeds a Champions due to Champions lacking an offensive boost as valuable as Boost Eidolon.

Multiclassing looks to be Amazing for Summoners.

I agree with Krispy, but I also see the point in the Eidolon probably deserving Multiclassing as an option. If there was just a Specialized Evolution at 2 that enabled an archetype to apply to the Eidolon, I think that would be good for summoners looking to shore up the Eidolon's options.
