Hey everyone, I'm playing a summoner for the first time in a campaign, I'm taking the Blood summoner archetype (for the planar binding freebies) and will likely be taking 1-3 levels in diabolist PrC. The Idea is a LE devil binder, his eidolon being a pact of sorts.
We used Focus Foible for stats, and I received the following (pre racials)
Str: 15
Dex: 15
Con: 13
Int: 17
Wis: 08
Cha: 18
Since I rolled pretty good-decent physical stats, I figured I'd try to make a melee/reach summoner who battles alongside his eidolon.
I was considering going half-elf for the +1/4 evolution points, and taking the kindred raised alternate racial (+2 cha, +2 another stat) and dropping that into Strength for level 1 stats of-
Str: 17
Dex: 15
Con: 13
Int: 17
Wis: 08
Cha: 20
with +1 going into str at 4th, Int or dex at 8, and the rest into Charisma. (or, the rest into evening out the stats)
For feats, we are using the feat-tax rules, and this was a rough plan I had for the following-
1- Extra evolution or combat reflexes
3- Combat reflexes or extra evolution
5- Resilient eidolon
7- Augment Summoning(prc class), Extra evolution
9- Fiend-skin
11- Maleficium
13- Mask of Virtue
15- Augment Calling
17-??
Other thoughts for feats-
Toughness, for more HP
Sacred Summons- standard action summon spell (though with only 6th level casting, this is less enticing)
Evolved Summon monster- give a 1pt evolution to any monsters I summon.
Any other advice/thoughts to help out? At later levels, I may decide to give the fighting duty entirely over to the eidolon and any planar beings I bind.
Do you think the damnation feats are worth the investment? What would you take in their place?
I also want their eidolon to resemble a devil themselves, so obviously I'll be taking the wings+fiendish Apperance evolutions eventually, what would be some other thematic, and strong, evolutions for them to take?
There isn't really a limit on how a devil can look like, so there aren't many evolutions that you can't fit in thematically. There's at least one quadruped devil (Nemesis Devil), so you can the pounce route (which is easily and by far the most powerful eidolon build path). From there one, the best evolutions are the usual stuff - maxed out primary natural attacks (cheaper evo point cost is better than damage dice), Energy Attacks, Rend, Improved Natural Armor, Immunity.
