Summoner (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Variant Unchained Eidolons

The following additional subtypes of unchained eidolons exist, tough some are restricted to certain summoner archetypes. The descriptions of these new subtypes of eidolon follow those in Pathfinder Unchained, except as noted. There is a new entry, forbidden evolutions, that supplants any subtype requirements listed for eidolons. Other prerequisites, such as base form, still apply. Each subtype has a set of base evolutions that they start with, these replace the attacks an eidolon normally has because of its subtype.

Alien Eidolon

(Alienist)

These eidolons are twisted in body and soul, creatures from realms beyond sane comprehension. All have the extraplanar subtype, but some have the aberration type and others have the outsider type. The only effect of type is that certain spells and abilities work differently against different creature types.

Alignment: Any, but most are both chaotic and evil.

Forbidden Evolutions: Weapon training.

Base Form: Biped (bite or claws, limbs [arms], limbs [legs]), quadruped (bite or claws, limbs [legs, 2]), or serpentine (bite, tentacles [2]).

Base Evolutions: the alien eidolon becomes unsettling to its foes, gaining a limited frightful presence evolution, with a duration of 1d6 rounds and which cannot cause the frightened condition. The alien eidolon also gains one additional evolution point.

At 4th level, the alien eidolon's frightful presence lasts 3d6 rounds. The alien eidolon also gains one additional evolution point.

At 8th level, the alien eidolon gains the full frightful presence evolution; it lasts the full 3d6 rounds and can cause the frightened condition. The alien eidolon also gains one additional evolution point.

At 12th level, the alien eidolon can give targets of its frightful presence the confused condition instead of the shaken condition. The alien eidolon also gains one additional evolution point.

At 16th level, the alien eidolon gains the power of an amulet of the planes and a necklace of adaptation, and is protected against the cold and radiation of outer space. A creature carried by the eidolon shares these effects.

At 20th level, the alien eidolon's frightful presence causes both confusion and a random permanent insanity when it would normally cause the frightened condition. See madness in the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide. The alien eidolon also gains one additional evolution point.

Aeon Eidolon

Aeons are mysterious creatures maintaining the balance between opposing concepts. They are often able to to manipulate the very stuff of reality to achieve their ends. They have a particular balance that they have been sent to watch over. They accept the distraction that daily service to the summoner entails, but expect complete focus on their goal once it becomes possible to achieve. Luckily, they usually seek out summoners sympathetic to their cause.

Alignment: Neutral.

Base Form: Biped (limbs [arms], limbs [legs]) or serpentine (bite, tail).

Forbidden Evolutions: Mount.

Base Evolutions: An aeon eidolon gains a number of abilities at first level. Focus question, extension of all, and destructive touch improve over levels. Envisaging is more of a limitation and does not improve with levels.

Focus Question (Sp): At first level, each aeon eidolon selects a question to focus on, and gains spell-like abilities centered on this focus at level 1, 4, 12, and 20. When first gained, a these spell-like abilities can be used once per day each. 4 levels later, they can be used 3 times per day each. They are cast a cleric of a level equal to the eidolon's hit dice and have a save DC of 10 + half the eidolon's hit dice + the eidolon's Wisdom modifier.

Feel or think?

Level 1: Detect chaos and detect law.
Level 4: Calm emotions and bestow insight.

Level 20: Euphoric tranquility^APG.

Time or space?

Level 1: Augury and lesser confusion.

To be or not to be?

Level 1: Mending and spark.
Level 4: Make whole and shatter.
Level 12: Disintegrate, fabricate.
Level 20: Mage's disjunction.

Envisaging (Su) and Extension of All (Ex). These effects are detailed in the aeon type description. An aeon eidolon is in communion with all other aeons, but the usefulness of this ability to the summoner is limited by the limited communication of the envisaging ability.

Destructive Touch (Su) The aeon eidolon can make a melee attack that inflicts 1d8 points of damage (1d6 for Small eidolons, 2d6 for Large eidolons, 3d6 for Huge eidolons). This damage increases by +1 at level 4 and every 4 levels thereafter, to a maximum of 1d8+5 at level 20. This is a primary natural attack, but gains no damage bonus from Strength.

At 8th level, aeon eidolons gain Resistance to cold 10, electricity 10, and fire 10 as well as a +4 bonus on saves against poison.

At 16th level, aeon eidolons gain immunity to cold, critical hits, and poison.

Augmented Animal Eidolon

(naturalist, spirit summoner, wild caller, wild caller racial)

Some summoners have bonded with a spirit of the wild, a spirit-animal or avatar of nature. These eidolons are of the animal type and the augmented and extradimensional subtypes. Hailing from wild places on other planes, these creatures often start out looking like a terrestrial animal, but as they progress they often grow to be fantastic combinations of animal traits. They have the same mental and physical attributes as other eidolons and can speak.

If going for an eidolon similar to the celestial and fiendish animals summoned by summon monster spells, go for the magical beast eidolon.

Alignment: Neutral good, neutral, or neutral evil.

Forbidden Evolutions: Breath weapon, damage reduction, energy attacks, magic attacks, weapon training.

Base Form: Biped (bite or claws, limbs [arms], limbs [legs]), quadruped (limbs [legs, 2], bite or claws), or serpentine (bite, poison [bite]).

Class Skills Instead of the normal eidolon's list of class skills the augmented animal eidolon uses the following list: Acrobatics (Dex), Climb (Str), Fly (Dex), Perception (Wis), Stealth (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Base Evolutions: At 1st level, augmented animal eidolons gain the mount, scent, and skilled (Survival) evolutions. Even a biped augmented animal can get the mount evolution this way. It also gains an additional evolution point.

At 4th level, augmented animal eidolons gain wild empathy (Ex). The eidolon can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The eidolon rolls 1d20 and adds its hit dice level and its Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the eidolon and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. The eidolon can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but it takes a –4 penalty on the check. If the augmented animal eidolon is using wild empathy against an animal it strongly resembles in form and function (at the GMs option), it gains a +4 bonus on the check.

At 8th level, augmented animal eidolons gain woodland stride (Ex). The augmented animal eidolon may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at its normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect it. It also gains an additional evolution point.

At 12th level, the augmented animal eidolon gains swift tracker (Ex) and can move at its normal speed while using Survival to follow tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. It takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.

At 16th level, augmented animal eidolons gain quarry (Ex). The augmented animal eidolon can, as a standard action, denote one target within its line of sight as its quarry. Whenever it is following the tracks of its quarry, it can take 10 on its Survival skill checks while moving at normal speed, without penalty. In addition, it receives a +2 insight bonus on attack rolls made against its quarry, and all critical threats are automatically confirmed. An augmented animal eidolon can have no more than one quarry at a time. It can dismiss this effect at any time as a free action, but it cannot select a new quarry for 24 hours. If the augmented animal eidolon sees proof that its quarry is dead, it can select a new quarry after waiting 1 hour.

At 20th level, augmented animal eidolons gain hide in plain sight (Ex) and can use Stealth to hide even without cover or concealment in any kind of natural terrain.

The dream eidolon need not know the target's location, it need only picture the victim in its mind's eye. If the creature is not under a fear effect, the power fails. This ability functions as dimension door cast by a sorcerer of the dream eidolon's hit dice.

Einherjar Eidolon

Einherjar are champions of chaos and individuality who have achieved immortality. Einherji sometimes make pacts with summoners, commonly those who sing their praise or descendants from their mortal life.

Size Alteration (Su)

4 point evolution

As a standard action the eidolon can alter its size, from the smallest size category it is capable of (normally Small, but see the tiny evolution) to the largest (normally Medium, but see the large evolution). Any equipment the eidolon wears or wields also changes size. The eidolon gains the effects due an eidolon of whatever size it currently has. An eidolon with size alteration can simultaneously have the large/huge and tiny evolutions, increasing its available size choices. An eidolon with size alteration with the large evolution still pays the increased cost for improved attribute (Strength or Constitution) evolutions.

Tiny (Su)

1 point evolution

The eidolon is Tiny in size. A Tiny eidolon is often mistaken for a familiar, but Knowledge (Arcana) (DC 10 + eidolons hit dice) can identify it for what it is.

A Tiny eidolon gains a +4 bonus to its Dexterity score. It also takes a –8 penalty to its Strength and a –4 penalty to its Constitution. It gains a +2 size bonus to its AC and attack rolls, a –2 penalty to its CMB and CMD scores, a +4 bonus on its Fly skill checks, and a +8 bonus on its Stealth skill checks. All natural armor the native eidolon has is halved. It also loses its natural reach and all natural and weapon attacks do two steps less damage. An eidolon with the Tiny evolution cannot also be Small, Large, or Huge.

Frequently Asked Questions

These answers are my interpretation of the rules, not rules changes.

• An eidolon cannot heal naturally, but it can be healed by any supernatural means.
• Eidolons do not begin with traits, but can purchase them using the Additional Traits feat. They must still have a source or trainer for the trait.
• An eidolon is not a player character, and does not gain maximum hit points on its first hit die.
• A creature summoned by the Summon Monster ability (not spell) appears immediately and can act in the turn it appears.
• A creature summoned by a summon monster spell (as opposed to the class ability) uses all the normal rules of the spell, and can be present at the same time as the eidolon or a creature summoned using the class ability.
• Feats that improve or change the abilities or numbers of summoned creatures (like Augment Summoning and Superior Summoning) works for the summon monster ability, but never work with the eidolon, even when it is summoned using the summon eidolon spell.
