Does eidolon gain benefits from Divine ally (blade) of champion's archetype?

[Nekronar]

I wonder if effects of runes, which you can gain from that feat would also affect my eidolon, for example if Im using handwraps of mighty blows

[breithauptclan]

It is debatable.

I would say no.

The Eidolon rule being invoked is as follows:

Quote:

Your eidolon's Strikes benefit from the fundamental and property runes on your handwraps of mighty blows. Alternatively, you can Invest a magic weapon (even though magic weapons can't normally be Invested) to share its fundamental and property runes with your eidolon.

The Blade Ally feature says:

Quote:

In your hands, the item gains the effect of a property rune

So first, the rune effect only happens to the weapon in your hands.

Second, the weapon does not actually have a property rune on it. Only a property rune effect. The Eidolon ability only copies over the fundamental and property runes that the weapon has.

I agree with breith based on a strict reading of the rules. That said, I see no balance concern with it, and thematically an eidolon is basically "your hands." I'd probably allow it.

[breithauptclan]

Yeah, on balance considerations I don't think it is any different than a Magus picking up Champion archetype and Divine Ally. At a Magus would use the Blade Ally to use the weapon rune effects directly.
