[QUOTE="Dingo333, post: 5738123, member: 6672910"] Alright, Feats: Go mounted Archery, yes it is more feat heavy to do archery and mounted, but you will be glad of it later Answer 1: Yes the Eidolon needs points in fly. Ever see a bird flying backwards because of high winds? (I have) Just because something can fly in PF does not mean it is ducking and weaving all over. You do not need fly yourself, hough you may wanna put points in it anyway. Always handy especially when you get wings for yourself. Answer 2: Eidolon needs fly by, you need ride by (or archery) Answer 3: Yes, just note that you only get 1 (unless you also have pounce somehow) Recomondations: Make the Eidolon Medium and yourself small. Reduce person is great for this. You go small, you throw dagger, it goes back to medium and you gain the +2 (Size and better dex) to hit and +2 (size and batter dex) to AC. Add Iccicle dagger for a free dagger that will eventually return to you automatically. Medium also allows it to go underground which is where a lot of mounted focus characters get hung out to dry. (horses can't get down steps usually, and if they do, tight squeezes thwart them) The Eidolon's AC does not matter too much, mounted combat basically says its AC is = to you ride check, a good AC is still nice, but it is a lower priority. Reach with any of its weapons is a great way to pounce and not put yourself in danger (not to mention it now makes an impassible bodyguard when flight/mounted is not possible) To save evo points, I recommend going flying spaghetti monster Tentacles= to max attacks-1 Improved damage tentacle pounce mount 5 points at level 3 [/QUOTE]
