Class(ic) Introductions: The Summoner - Part Two: The Eidolon [Pathfinder 2e]
38Hello Travelers & Tourists!
Welcome back to Class(ic) Introductions, a series where we take a look at different classes in TTRPGs & ask what they have to offer players at the gaming table! This week, we're looking at the Summoner for Pathfinder 2nd Edition, a spellcaster that has formed a powerful bond with a magical creature known as an Eidolon!
The Summoner is easily one of the most unique & most complicated classes in Pathfinder 2nd Edition, meaning that, for the first time in this series, I am splitting this video into two parts!
In this video, we're continuing our discussion by taking a closer look at the most important class feature of the Summoner: The Eidolon! What is this bonded monster? How can it best be used at the gaming table?
We will be examining the Eidolon through the lens of our Core Seven Questions in this series:
1) What is the Class Role of the Eidolon?
2) How Complex is the Eidolon?
3) What are the Key Terms & Concepts to know for the Eidolon?
4) What are the Strengths of the Eidolon?
5) What are the Weaknesses of the Eidolon?
6) What Build Options / Subclasses does the Eidolon offer?
7) How can I "Get the Most" out of the Eidolon in play?
