Eidolons do not have their own spell DCs or spell attack rolls. They always use the Summoner's (Eidolon Spells, page 58). This also means that if you take Meld into Eidolon and Magical Understudy, you can essentially max out your charisma and con, get your dex, ac, and movement abilities from your "battle form" Eidolon, and still blast scaling cantrips like Electric Arc, where it is useful to do so.

You basically become a discount 1e Synthesist.

Meld into Eidolon could also be handy if you enter an environment where the summoner has issues, but the Eidolon does not. Example: You need to explore underwater and there isn't enough Water Breathing to go around the party. Your Eidolon can water breath, but your summoner cannot. Meld in, and you don't have to worry about the leash and you don't need to worry about Water Breathing for your character.

I missed this looking at builds. A strong eidolon benching the door one minute and 7th level casting the next is funny.

19:35 - 21:20 personally will Meld into Eidolon (and to a extend Twin Eidolon) is really feat dependent I think it fills a nice niche. As some have stated having Amphibious Form too use the eidolon: swim Speed & water breathing for underwater combat. But feats like: Airborne Form, Burrowing Form, Expanded Senses & Vibration Sense too give yourself different senses/movement speeds or have Miniaturize too get into stealth shenanigans and maybe get some of the Tiny PC rules in the Special Rules section in Ancestry Guide pg. 66 if you're gm allows it. Meld into Eidolon can also help with so negative status effects like the Anger Phantom Eidolon's Anger Aura (and maybe Ostentatious Arrival but i'm not sure) besides all that I just like the flavor and image how you combine with you're Eidolon. Putting on a Angel Eidolon Cassisian on your head like a helmet and vanish into bright light, getting enveloped by a raging aura that turns into your Anger Phantom Eidolon or having your Construct Eidolon turn into a titan from titanfall grabbing you and puts you in a pilot seat compartment. Also Nonat: you can't take this feat at level one Me:laughs in human with Natural Ambition.

I guess the difference between the inventor capstone and True Transmogrification is also that the inventor can change its subclass, the summoner can not. The summover can change the evolutions of its eidolon but not the type of eidolon.

Great video! Just some things that spring to mind. I think Paizo's decision for Burrow Speed being such a high level is that you can hop in your Eidolon with Meld Into Eidolon and potentially bypass multiple layers of a dungeon. Sure, eventually the DM will just say, "nope, you've just hit solid rock." But I can see why they might feel it is a bit overpowered. As for Grasping Limbs, Grapple is more versatile than trip, and depending on what creatures you are fighting, can be better. In addition to inflicting the Flat-Footed condition (the -2 to AC) that Trip does, Grabbed also inflicts the Immobilized condition, preventing the target from using any action with the Move trait. (Move traits include: Balance, Burrow, Climb, Crawl, Drop Prone, Fly, Leap, Sneak, Squeeze, Stand, Step, Stride, Swim, and Tumble Through). Your target is basically left to either Attack you or try and use the Escape action. Casting a spell with a Somatic component adds the Manipulate trait, so a caster would need to succeed at a DC 5 flat check or have their attempt automatically fail. As for extended versatility, characters can potentially grapple a flying creature (if they can reach it), either forcing it to spend its actions trying to Escape or fall to the ground. Really it's just about the creatures a party is fighting, and the best tactics to use. If you're fighting spellcasters or the like, Grapple can be better than Trip, as it targets what will likely be one of their worst saves. But I'll say one thing for certain. The Plant Eidolon, when given both the Trip trait when choosing its damage type and the Grapple trait when picking up Advanced Weaponry, and then Evolution Surge-d up to Huge-size at level 9, has an obscene grab reach of 20 feet, and trip reach of 25 feet (when using Tendril Strike). You can't use Tendril Strike with Eidolon's Opportunity, but that's still a reach of 15-feet for Grapple and 20-feet for Trip on a Reaction. That's nuts.

This is the most thorough and in-depth dive into the class that I've been looking for ever since rolling up my 2e Summoner. This video helped me understand the class greatly, and shape my character design into exactly what I see it to be. Thank you for the great content!

I've personally found unfetter eidolon way more useful than I expected. It gives your party a scout that can just disappear if needed, and who if knocked out leaves a dying body back in the safety of the party. I've also used it to have a large threatening creature chase my eidolon away from the party only to unsummon the eidolon. It's also a nice low level way to gain another focus point.

Actually, Eidolons use your Spell DC and Spell attack as per the Eidolon Spells entry. Quote: "It doesn't have its own spell DC or spell attack modifier; if it needs to Cast a Spell, it uses your spell DC and spell attack modifier."

Auto Shove has it's Niche if you are in an encounter on a small bridge or by a pit, anything that has uneven terrain where you can shove an enemy and force them to fall. But that's situation vs convenience when comparing to the Auto Trip. Love seeing these video's as they really make you think!

Elemental heart is a fun first evolution, I got sonic damage on attacks and it's really neat. Very few creatures resist sonic for one thing, but also the idea of my golem-like construct companion just slamming their fists together and the shockwave of that discombobulating someone is pretty dang cool

Grabbed > Prone. Also remember that Knockdown / Grab monster actions are a) Actions with cost of 1 action b) Needed to be lead by Strike action. Not AoO action. Strike one.

True that the Summoner by default can't take the Meld with Eidolon feat at level one, however if your ancestry has a 1st level feat that allows you to take an additional 1st level class feat (i.e. Natural Ambition for Humans) then you can get it at level one. It works amazingly for concepts like Shazam, Hulk, or Guyver inspired builds.

I don't think that's how True Transmogrification works, NoNat. Appropriate level, by my reading, means that if you're pulling out a level 2 feat you replace it with a level 2 feat.

40:15 Actually, autoconfirmed knockdown is only level 6 for a Monk (Wolf Drag)... so level 10 is sort of late compared to that. And a Monk can already have Stand Still by then (I think).

God I was not expecting that at 28:26 but that's why we love your editing

I think one thing that may have been missed about the merciless rend is I am pretty sure that works with dragons fury if your dragons secondary attacks are slashing. So you have a chance to potentially swing have 3 attacks and 1 auto hit if your two secondary attacks hit. Fun for dragon berzerker type builds where if the stars align you can really go to town on something.

The level 19 Instant Manifestation has a nice trick that you can use it to unmanifest your Eidolon and then manifest it again adjacent to you for a 2 action eidolon teleport. Imagine Act Together, dragon eidolon does a breath attack, then unmanifest it then use your last action to manifest it next to you to get your eidolon out of danger without provoking attacks of opportunity and from distances over its speed.

these customizable maps are actually badass!

Going to play a summoner for Kingmaker. My eidolon is a wolf... I'm tempted to use Boost Eidolon by saying "Good girl!" 😅

For Meld into eidolon its just a wild shape for this class, probably in a future will exist feats to power up this style of gameplay, but Im pretty ok with that feat, even if you lose an action, now youre a monster at level 2. And so many actions of act together are used to move both characters, in that case dont lose any actions because now you only have to move once

Pushing Attack is a nice trick to to push targets into snares that you setup with your Summoner getting a nice damage spike.

Why do you consider knockdown better than grab? They both impose flat footed, have a moderate offensive penalty, and waste an action to end, but creatures can actually fail to escape a grab on their turn, and it costs them MAP to attempt to do so.

I did this but without fey eidolon. Did beast eidolon as a giant rat for my Ratfolk summoner, also using it as a mount, with a racial rat familiar, and using ratspeech to talk to rats (cuz they’re everywhere) for my gather information activity. It’s a lot of fun with the things I can do with all of that. 😁

As for the choice of why certain Feats are placed at the level that they are: keep in mind, that there's also the Summoner Archetype, that can take Feats of up to 10th level. So I guess it's also a way to balance that out. That goes for all the classes and class feats In the case of the summoner, with Pushing Attack, Weighty Impact und Grasping Limb: imo, being pushed 5 ft or being Knocked Prone are much less fatal than being Grabbed (I had fights were I couldn't do anything because I was being grabbed... that was frustrating!). Therefor, denying Archetype Summoners access to Grasping Limbs just by making it a higher level Feat makes a lot of sense game balancing-wise.

Concerning Blood Frenzy: It's still a status bonus to damage, so boost eidolon won't have an effect unfortunately.

I think it's interesting that the summoner can, technically, use the Wellspring Magic archetype. I really want to do this with my next character, even at the cost of slowing spell level progression by a whole level and only having two spell slots per day- max. This really benefits from the Fey eidolon, compensating for character shortfalls.

I'm a little late to the game, but regarding blood frenzy; Reinforce Eidolon says that your eidolon can not benefit from boost and reinforce at the same time, and blood frenzy states that your eidolon benefits from boost.

Grab is better then prone. Both generally cost a action to the afflicted and make it flat footed. But Grab can cost more then one action and adds to the map. They have dc to do manipulate actions. Also my favourite it kinda makes you a take aggro from the creature since the creatures best option is just deal with you

Well sir let me just say. Our preferences DO NOT have to makes sense to other people; and if it so happens that our preferences DO NOT make sense to us either they will still be and will always be our preferences. But seriousness aside, I watched your class tier vid and Alchemist and Summoner were both S. I was torn which to play when I do start to play... this video just helped decide. Thanks.

Meld Into Eidolon allows you to play as a dragon... worth it. Also, it allows you to dump your str and dex, prioritizing con and cha. You don't have a ton of power as a summoner and Eidolons are often stronger and tougher than you are. I suppose that you can make a build around it. Would be nice if Paizo made some "become a beast" class, which focused on this melding, but, so far, i see it being useful as "you, the summer, focus on out of combat spells, while your Eidolon is focused on combat". The whole "you cannot pick this feat at 1st level" suck tho... although, if you are playing as your eidolon in combat, you probably could convince your dm to allow you it at level 1.

You say if both you and eidolon fail the save against a fireball, you takes the greatest amount of damage between the two (eidolon took 26 and summoner took 15?) but damage for AoE spells is only rolled once, not for each target, so there wouldn’t be two different levels of damage.

In this game most aoe spells have each player character roll a saving throw and take damage and status effects based on level of success or failure. And summoner and eidolon roll separate saving throws.

Question @34:25 in regards to Boost Summons. Unless I am mistaken, in order to help combat flow and keep things smooth and not get bogged down, none of the summoning spells in PF2E summon more than one creature anymore, right? So to really get the mist out if this, you have to summon a creature every round with your expanded summoning slots for a couple rounds to really get the most bang for your buck. For example, my Ratfolk Summoner with a Giant Rat beast eidolon decides to use the spell Conjure Beast that I got at level one to summon more Giant Rats. I only get one giant per summon spell, right? So I would have to use both my “summon slots” from Master Summoner to summon 2 extra Giants Rats to fight with my eidolon, right?

The 'spend an action to do this without roll' are all creature special abilities given to creatures: Rend, Constrict, Grab, Knockdown, Push, and Trample. As for auto-trip vs auto-grab: both make the target flat footed. Grasping Limbs takes an escape action to break (but the eidolon can't move), other attacks during the turn take MAP, and can be refreshed next turn with no roll. Weighty Impact takes a stand action to recover from (which is a trigger for move-based reactions) Grasping Limbs is better for keeping one target away from the Summoner. More discussion about Grapple: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gn-bvLqvqtS1d5s.html Edit: I mixed up the name of the two feats. Grasping Limbs is grab, Weighty Impact is trip. Sorry If I confused anyone.

Wait a minute...this isn't a summoner. THIS IS A STAND USER!

Basically it is your defensive stance you are lowering your spell casting options to gain armor and defenses. If you like this power you can also get the spell casting options on non fey too just a level later and you have to take a feat for it. It is not something you should use all the time but it is a very useful option to have.

Can you please explain the act together action? So first is it an optional amount of actions used on the process? Can I choose to use 1 or 2? What's the point of using it to cast a spell of 2 actions then have eidolon attack with 1, would you get the same benefit by just using your 3 actions?

I think the main reason you like True Transmogrification but hate the 19th Level Inventor Class Feature is because while True Transmogrification let's you change up the feats improving your Eidolon it's still the same Eidolon you chose at Level 1, you can change out the evolution feats, but you can't change a Dragon Eidolon into a Psychopomp for example

I thought of a fun idea for Meld into Eidolon at least. Kobold with Dragon Eidolon who keeps it manifested with Meld into Eidolon all it can and pretends it's an actual dragon. No way it's anything else, you're crazy. Dragon has a bag that the Kobold hides in until it gets that feat.

The hidden beauty of automatically succeeding on Shove/Trip/Grapple attempts is that you're not subject to Crit Failure. And critical failure on those things, especially Trip and Grapple, can really wreck your day.. Additionally, auto success on Shove and Trip attempts mean you can retrain and dump your Athletics proficiencies into something better suited for your character if you're rocking a Dex-based Summoner. It's generally best to max the Athletic proficiencies at every available opportunity, so your Eidolon has a better chance at success. Auto success avoids that stuff. It's not prudent with the Grapple trait, as you still need your Athletics proficiencies as high as you can for the inevitable Escape checks.

13:51: The Summoner gets UNLIMITED Signature Spells, which is a lot better than the Sorcerer's very limited Signature Spells ;)

Idk I think the first Summoner was better , but this is neat

True Transmogrification doesn't switch out your Eidolon, while the Inventor can change their Innovation. Inventor can change their Armor into a Hammer, but the Summoner will have the Eidolon they chose.

I'm not understanding why it's such a big deal that the idle on can have a tack of opportunity and the knockdown ability. Attack of opportunity is a reaction that doesn't normally happen on your own turn. So the Idol on wouldn't be able to use an action to use knockdown after using the reaction to use a tack of opportunity.... am I missing something

In PF 1 meld into eidolon was very strong then again eidolons functioned very differently

True Transmogrification doesn't work the way you say. They only work with "evolution" feats, not any feat. So, yes, you can shrink you eidolon to allow it to breath underwater, but you can't make it suddenly cast magic, as that's not an evolution feat.

Meld into Eidolon is a great flavor feat. It changes the idea of somebody summoning a monster into somebody turning into a monster. If you want to play as an actual dragon, this is a way to fake that.

The fact that it's optional does make it better in my opinion because you don't have to take it if you don't want to but I'm still a little disappointed it takes up an 18th level feat that could've been used for something more interesting.

Twin Eidolon = Fang over Fang.

The Moonlight Maps are Colorforms... from the 70s.

This is how you make a Stand user, kids.

I can confirm auto Knockdown with attack of opportunity is nasty. Anyone that's gone through book 3 of Age of Ashes knows what I mean. My players HATED that NPC.

Would it work with AoO? It states that the last ACTION but be a success with a strike. I guess a reaction counts? Or not?

@@pango4425 sorry I should clarify, the NPC had both Knockdown and AoO. So he would knock the players prone, then hit them when they stood up.

True Transmogification does not work as you think it does. You can't trade level 1 evolution feat for level 18th one as it is not level appropriate. It just Means that you could trade level 18 feat for level 18/16/14/12 etc. If it was the same level then you would only be able to trade 18th level feat for 18th level feat. Which can be dumb as some levels do not have a lot of Evolution feats.

30:07 FINE! But I'm putting my own twist on this blood I show you: Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre Sangre I think that's enough blood, that might even be TOO MUCH! I think we lose our PG-13 rating now! ;)

Yeah but solve an argument: does Legendary Summoner work with Summon Kaiju?

I allow my players to use all summoner stuff while you meld into eidelon

May I have a Succubus as Idolon? Asking for my Senpai...

It's good to point out, the Act Together ability; He describes at the end that "1 action for one person, and 1-to-3 actions for the other." This is correct, but specifically, the character that takes the '1-to-3' side of it can only perform one 'Action or Activity' using the same number of actions used for Act Together. This means Act Together restricts both the Eidolon and Summoner to performing a single activity each. Meaning the Eidolon can't attack multiple times, while you stride, by using Act Together.

I was under the impression that act together would still allow one or the other of the Summoner or eidolon to use the other actions not originally used by the one, two, three action activity. So if the Summoner used act together to have his familiar use dragon's breath, the dragon would then be able to strike afterwards as a one action while the Summoner used one action to boost eidolon period

I think the True transmogrification feat it's worded on a way instead of swapping a lvl 1 to a lvl 18 feat, you can trade a lvl X feat for a lvl X or lower feat. At least, reading it, it makes more sense to me.

If you think prone is better then grab I would encourage you to watch this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/gn-bvLqvqtS1d5s.html it has some great tactical advantages that prone does not provide

Screeee

Love your videos, but imo you should lay off the "blooper" cuts a bit. There's definitely a place for them, but I feel like they're used so often they can break up the rhythm. If this is an unpopular opinion, feel free to ignore and stick with the more popular style
