Summoner / Eidolon and Bardic Lore (or similar lores)

[User6263]

If a summoner gains a feature like Bardic Lore, is their eidolon also capable of using that lore? I don't believe that eidolon's benefit from a summoner's skill feats, but the language for the eidolon reads:

[Your eidolon] shares your skill proficiencies.
[Your eidolon] shares your proficiency rank for Perception, saving throws, and skill checks.

the language for Bardic Lore reads:

You are trained in Bardic Lore, a special Lore skill that can be used only to Recall Knowledge, but on any topic.

It seems to check out: you have a proficiency, eidolon shares proficiency, but not any skill feats that could apply to said skill.

I only wonder because it's an unconventional skill, which gives me some pause, but I can't find any specific prohibitions to such a thing. Thoughts?

The Eidolon doesn't exactly get all your skill proficiencies as otherwise a feat like Dual Studies would not work.
It's very much up to the GM, in my opinion. The fact that it's a "special" lore skill would put it appart from the "normal" skills to me. But I can see a GM allowing it.

Dual Studies has this wording in to actually function: "These skill proficiencies are not shared between you and your eidolon."

Otherwise, RAW, your Eidolon indeed shares all of your Skill proficiencies, including those gained via feats/features.
