Viable caster Eidolon

[Verzen]

We should have the option for a viable caster Eidolon. I love the idea of me being the physical fighter type and my Eidolon is the one casting offensive spells and there should be more support for this idea. It would help make the Eidolon more unique if some Eidolons have low str, high cha, and uses my spell slots instead of me.

Class specific archetype, perhaps? Assuming they ever make something like that.

I could see that being a thing quite easily, especially in the chassis that already exists. It actually seems almost inevitable that it will happen if not in SoM, but in future content.

I was tossing around an idea like that for a wile but my eidolon build was "complicated" enough

I was thinking three options:
brute - the fighter/barbarian - version that is the playtest
trickster - rouge/investigator
sage - spellcasting based on type (spell casting dedication feats added to the class list for the eidolon to use)

feat trees could work...

That would be pretty cool if we could select which one we want and it would effect stats and 1 starting evolution given for free. Like brute would be given a +damage evolution like power attack plus it would give me a boost eidolon.

Trickster would give sneak attack or something like that in that realm and the focus power would be something else dealing with sneaking.

And sage would give our Eidolons the ability to cast cantrips and level 1 spells.
