I was putting together a Construct Caller Unchained Summoner for the Curse of the Riven Sky Module. That archetype wasn't working due to evolution limitations imposed by the Inevitable subtype, instead I am now making a Soulbound Summoner
I want my Eidolon to be inspired by the Linnorm Kingdoms Wicker Men
The Wicker Man is a huge horrifying construction. It is an elaborated prison of wood, soaked in pitch and built in the shape of a huge humanoid. Its interior is actually a wooden cage containing a number of victims, usually bound. The wicker man stands amid a pyre of flammable material, and when the time is right, the entire structure is set aflame. Sometimes the wicker man stands for days or even weeks before it is burnt. The wicker man is one of the effigies used in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings.
How would you mechanically make this work? What Evolutions? I was thinking of trying to make Swallow Whole work but for a 3pt evolution, it seems very weak.
What about the characters theme? What can be added to create a more well rounded character? At the moment I am leaning towards Goblin and the Favored Class towards Flame related Evolutions
Using the Soulbound archetype, 2 Extra Evolution Feats, and the Goblin Favored Class Bonus. This is what I have come up with:
Base Form: Bidep
Subtype: Devil
- Biped (claws, limbs [arms], limbs [legs]).
14 Points of Evolutions (+2 Fire-Related Evolutions)
- Large (4)
- Pounce (3)
- Energy Attacks (2)
- Claws (1) - Legs
- Bite (1)
- Grab (2)
- Swallow Whole (3)
Feats - I haven't looked at those yet, but I know I will have 4 in total
