ELDER EIDOLON
aka, the Mecha Musume



Prerequisites

• Must be a corporeal creature that is not a construct, undead, or an elemental.
• Constitution 10+
• Must spend gold pieces at each level equal to 300 * level each level to pay for modifications and improvements to the creature's body (the cost for the first level of this class is included in the ritual cost). An Elder Eidolon may continue to take levels in the class without these modifications but does not gain additional class features until the modifications are applied
• Must complete creation ritual.

Construction

Transforming a creature into an Elder Eidolon is a dangerous endeavor that puts the creature at risk of losing it's sanity, and even destroying it's soul. The transformation ritual involves infusing the creature's body and soul with chaotic alien energies taken from the far planes and materials forged from stone and metal from the deepest reaches of the earth.

The ritual to create an Elder Eidolon is one thought lost to the past, but the secret has managed to be passed down in whispers between mad masters and eager apprentices. To know and be able to perform the ritual requires a DC 25 Knowledge check (Arcana or Architecture and Engineering) as well as having the Craft Construct feat.

The Ritual requires 24 hours to complete as well as materials worth 2000 gold to be used in the ritual and be incorporated into the creature's body. The creature the ritual is being performed on must be either willing or helpless, and once the ritual has begun the creature remains helpless until the ritual is completed or interrupted. At the end of the ritual, the creator must make a DC 20 Spellcraft check as well as a DC 20 Craft check (Metalworking, Stoneworking, or similar). The creator cannot take 10 on any of these checks and fails on a natural 1, but these checks may be assisted.
If one of the checks fail, the creature must make a DC 20 will save to avoid becoming a failed Eidolon (see below).
If both checks fail, the ritual goes horribly wrong, and the creature must make a DC 20 will save to become a failed eidolon or be destroyed. Even the soul of the creature is destroyed, so the creature cannot be raised or resurrected unless a miracle or wish spell is cast to restore the creature's soul.

Failed Eidolons
Failed Eidolons are elder eidolons that did not manage to endure the construction ritual and are mentally crippled as a result. First, a Failed Eidolon gains the first level of the Elder Eidolon class as normal but does not gain the normal benefits of subsequent levels of the class. Instead, the failed eidolon one Geometry (Physical or Mental) every 2 levels of the class instead of normal progression, and does not gain the Greater and Perfected Eidolon Body class features, nor does it have any class skills for the class. The failed eidolon also cannot take Feats that require Elder Eidolon levels.
Further, the botched ritual damages the mind and soul of the failed eidolon, and the eidolon takes a permanent 2d4 penalty to Int, Wis, and Cha, each rolled separately. Should any of these scores drop to 0, the failed eidolons mind and soul are destroyed and it becomes Mindless (though any score besides Int that is dropped to 0 or below becomes 1 instead of after becoming mindless).

Mindless failed Eidolon go berserk and attack any non elder eidolon, though they won't wander outside of an area they are in unless pursuing a creature. Particularly stupid confident individuals can attempt to restrain a mindless eidolon to advance it's HD, and can give the eidolon levels of the (failed) Elder Eidolon class in place of Construct HD, choosing it's Geometries in place of the Construct, paying any costs as normal. They still don't control the creature, but this doesn't stop the person from sticking the eidolon somewhere to effectively act as a guard (assuming the person survives doing so).
A creature made into a mindless failed eidolon cannot be raised or resurrected until the eidolon is destroyed and a miracle or wish spell is cast to restore the creature's soul.

As long as the failed Elder Eidolon did not become mindless in the process, the effects of becoming a failed Elder Eidolon can be reversed with a miracle or wish spell, removing the ability score penalties and gaining the normal benefits of the Elder Eidolon class.

Class Features

Eidolon Body (Ex): At first level, an Elder Eidolon and gains the construct type and the following traits.

(click to show/hide)

• No Constitution score.
• Low-light vision.
• Darkvision out to 60 feet.
• Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).
• Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, and necromancy effects.
• Cannot heal damage on their own, but often can be repaired by certain spells. The DM may also allow the construct to be repaired with the use of the right skills with the right tools. A construct with the fast healing special quality still benefits from this quality.
• Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain.
• Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless).
• Not at risk of death from massive damage. Immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points or less.
• Since it's not alive, a construct cannot be raised or resurrected except for limited wish, wish and miracle. The 1st makes the construct lose a level, the other two don't.
• However, it can be "repaired" if destroyed by spending 24 hours of work and 500 GP of materials, which make it lose a level.

It also gains a natural armor bonus equal to half its str modifier (if it already possesses such a bonus it uses the superior one) and if it possesses no natural attacks gains a slam (1d6 + 1.5 str damage at medium). All the Eidolon's natural weapons are treated both as manufactured weapons and natural weapons (as a monk’s Unarmed strike) and can be enchanted as a if they were masterwork weapons. Elder Eidolon otherwise retain any racial abilities and traits they had. If the Elder Eidolon had any abilities or traits which calculate based on it's Con Mod (for instance a Dragon's Breath Weapon), it recalcualtes that ability using half it's Str Mod instead. Hit Points and Fortitude saves are not effected by this ability.

Mental Geometry: A Elder Eidolon's metaphysical core is a labyrinth with a geometry of it's own. As this geometry grows more complex and vast, the eidolon obtains new strength and bizarre powers known as Mental Geometries.
A Elder Eidolon obtains a Mental Geometry at 1st, 2nd, and every even level thereafter. An Elder Eidolon selects from the following list:

(click to show/hide)

Mental Prowess (Ex) The Elder Eidolon gains a +1 to any one mental ability score it has (Int, Wis, or Cha). An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once.
		Insanity Aura (Su) Any creature within 5 feet of an Elder Eidolon must make a Will Save (DC 10 + ½ HD + Cha Mod) each round or become confused for 1 round. This aura can only be maintained for a number of rounds equal to half the Elder Eidolons HD (min 2), after which an Elder Eidolon must wait 4 rounds before activating this ability again. Activating this ability is a swift action. Insanity Aura can be selected more than once. Each time it is selected it’s range is doubled and its recharge time is reduced by 2 rounds (becoming an at-will after being selected for the 3rd time)
Deflective Geometry (Su) The Elder Eidolon has a deflection bonus to it's AC equal to half it's Cha bonus (min 1). If the eidolon has the Greater Eidolon body class feature, this deflection bonus to AC is now equal to it's full Cha bonus instead of half. This ability can be selected multiple times, adding a +1 to the deflection bonus each time after the first.
		Servitor The Elder Eidolon gains a Servitor, a small construct designed to assist the Eidolon. An Eidolon is in full control of the Servitor, which is effectively an extension of the Eidolon, and can command it as a free action on the Eidolon’s turn. If the Servitor is destroyed, the Eidolon suffers take's 1d4 damage per 2 HD the Servitor possesses (Fort DC 15 Half). A destroyed Servitor is replaced by an identical Servitor after 8 hours of inactivity. Servitors have the following traits: (click to show/hide) Size/Type: Tiny Construct Hit Dice:  Equal to Master’s HD Hit Points:  Equal to half the Master’s total hit points (not including temporary hit points), rounded down, regardless of its actual Hit Dice. Speed: Same Movement Speeds as Master. An Elder Eidolon can hover about 5 feet above the ground with it's land speed but is treated as if on the ground regardless. Armor Class Bonuses: Any bonuses the master receives from the Elder Eidolon class Base Attack Bonus:  Equal to Master’s Base Attack Bonus Attack: Slam (1d3 + 1.5 Str mod). Can Be enchanted as if it was a Masterwork Manufactured Weapon. Base Saves: Equal to Master’s Base Saves Base Ability Scores: Elite Array with the 10 set to Constitution (which the Servitor loses as a Construct). Damage Reduction/Hardness:      Same Damage Reduction / Hardness as Master. Skill Ranks: Equal to Master’s skill ranks. The Servitor has no skill points of it’s own. Feats: 1 plus 1 per 3 HD. The Servitor is treated as having 1 level in the Elder Eidolon class for the purposes of meeting feat prerequesites. Alignment: As Master's Simultaneous Movement (Ex) If the servitor is within 5 feet of it’s master it can move along with it’s master if it’s master moves as if it simultaneously moved, but it cannot perform any other kind of movement for that turn (including a 5 foot step). The Servitor moves with any kind of movement it’s master takes or is affected by, including bull rushes, teleportations or similar effects. The Servitor is treated as part of it’s master for effects that target the master for effects that cause the master to move (such as Dimension Door). Geometries The servitor gains 2 Geometries of any kind. Treat the servitor’s HD as half normal when calculating the effects of Geometries. Power of the Master If any attack or effect that the Servitor successfully hits or affects it’s target(s), the Servitor is treated as if it was used by the servitor’s master, applying any additional effects the master would apply to an attack of that kind. For Instance, if the servitor successfully hit a creature with it’s Doom Cannon Geometry, and it’s master had levels in the Scout class, the skirmish class feature would apply to the attack (presuming the servitor moved that turn). The servitor would not however, gain the effect of it’s master’s Ability Focus (Doom Cannon) feat, as it has not yet affected it’s target, nor would it gain the bonus to AC from skirmish after the attack is completed. The Servitor does not gain the benefit of any Geometries the master has to an attack or effect (such as Mindslaying Strikes). Improved Evasion (Ex) The Servitor takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, band takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless servitor does not gain the benefit of improved evasion. Share Spells/Powers At the master’s option, he can have any spell, power or similar effect he uses on himself also affect his servitor. The servitor must be within 5 feet of him at the time of the effect activates to receive the benefit. If the effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the servitor if it moves farther than 5 feet away, and will not affect the servitor again, even if it returns to its master before the duration expires. Empathic Link (Su) The master has an empathic link with his servitor out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The master cannot see through the servitor’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically. Because of the limited nature of the link, only general emotional content can be communicated. Subordinate Mind The Servitor can never permanently gain a creature under it's control by any means. In the case of spells and effects such as Animate Undead, it's master automaticlly assumes control of the creature(s), and any limits such an ability has are passed on to the master (in effect the servitor uses such an ability on the behalf the the master). Other abilites and effects that allow permanent control over a creature cannot be used. A Servitor can still use effects that provide temporarly control over a creature such as dominate person, but can never maintain control longer then a single use of such an ability, after which the creature cannot be controled by the servitor again. Equip Item (Ex) The Servitor can equip one item as if it was wielding the item in 2 hands. This item can be a weapon, shield, wonderous item, wand, or set of scrolls. The Servitor is proficient with any armor or weapon it's master is proficent with, and can equip a weapon two size catagories larger then itself at no penalty. The Servitor can carry 50 pieces of ammunition for a ranged weapon or 20 thrown weapons. Light Crossbows are the most commonly equipped item providing a ranged attack to servitors. In the case of wonderous items, wands, and scrolls, the servitor must meet all requirments for using the item, including making Use Magical Device checks if nessisary. Servitors are inefficent in using wands and use 2 charges when activating wands. Servitors can hold a number of scrolls equal to it's Int score, though can only have one ready to use at any one time, and must use a move action to swap between scrolls or ready a new scroll. The servitor can carry other items besides the item it has equipped, but cannot utilize them. To equip an item or unequip a item equipped to a Servitor takes 1 minute, and a Servitor cannot do this to itself (though two servitors can help each other).[/size] An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once, applying one of the following augments: Gain an additional Servitor under  the Elder Eidolon's control. Each can be customized diffrently. Grant each Servitor an additional Geometry. This ability is suppressed if all servitors are destroyed. If the Elder Eidolon possesses an ability that requires it to supress this ability to use (such as the Modular Design feat), all Servitors must be adjacent to the Eidolon beforehand.

Mindslaying Strikes (Su): The touch of an Elder Eidolon destroys the minds of those unfortunate enough to receive them. Each time an Elder Eidolon hits with a natural weapon, the attack deals 1 ability damage (either Int, Wis, or Cha) in addition to its normal damage. A Will Save (DC 10 + half HD + Cha Mod) negates this damage. An Elder Eidolon can also choose to deliver this attack with a melee touch attack instead of a natural weapon.
An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once. Gaining one of the following augments:

• Increase ability damage by 1 point.
• Select one ability score this effect does not deal damage to (either Int, Wis, or Cha). This effect now deals an equal amount of ability damage to that ability score.
• Reduce ability damage by 1 (to a minimum of 0). This effect now bestows 1 negative level (Fort DC 10 + half HD + Cha Mod negates).

Reality Phantasm (Su): Select one spell off the Sorcerer/Wizard spell list of the Abjuration, Enchantment, or Illusion schools and of a level no higher than half the Eidolons HD (minimum 1). An Elder Eidolon can cast this spell as a Supernatural ability 1/day per X HD (minimum 1), where X is the spell level of the choosen spell.  The spell has a CL equal to HD and any save DCs are equal to 10 + spell level + Cha Mod. The Eidolon must pay any costs (xp, gold, material, etc). If the spell requires a focus,  the eidolon can merge it into it's body for use with the spell at no cost. Further, the Elder Eidolon gains Spellcraft as a class skill and adds this spell to it's list of spells known at the approriate level if it has the ability to cast spells of the spell's level. If all uses of this ability are used, this ability is suppressed.
An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once.


Temporal Shield (Su): At the start of a Elder Eidolon's turn, it gains temporary hit points equal to 1/4 it's HD (min 1). These temporary hit points can stack with each other, up to twice the Elder Eidolons HD. if these temporary hit points drop to 0, this ability is suppressed for 1d4 rounds.
This ability can be taken multiple times, increasing the temporary hit points gained and the max number of temporary hit points by 3 every time after the first.


Void Jaunt (Su): The Elder Eidolon can once every 4 rounds slip between the space between dimensions and appear elsewhere. This ability acts as Dimension Door, but the eidolon uses it as a move action, and can take actions after using this ability. The Eidolon moves a distance equal to twice it's fastest movement speed. The Elder Eidolon can use this ability as part of a charge attack by using a standard action in addition to a move action, taking his movement with this ability and immediately attacking a target at the end of his movement (applying the benefits/penalties of charging).
An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once. Gaining one of the following augments:

• Reduce recharge time by 1 rounds.
• This ability can now be used as a free action once per round (instead of or in addition to being useable as a move action), but the second time this ability is used in the same round the distance traveled with it is reduced by half. This allows the Elder Eidolon to charge with this ability by using just a  standard action when using this ability

This ability is suppressed while recharging.


Levitation (Su): The Elder Eidolon gains a fly speed equal to it's fastest natural speed (besides fly speed) with good maneuverability, but can never fly higher than 5 feet per 2 HD above the ground (min 5 feet). After the Eidolon reaches 7 HD, the height limit is removed. This movement can be used to pass through liquids at half speed. If the Eidolon already possesses a faster fly speed, increase the maneuverability by one step instead(or set the maneuverability to good if below good).
This ability can be taken multiple times increasing maneuverability by one step each time.


Magic Resistance (Su): The Elder Eidolon gains SR equal to 11 + HD. This ability is suppressed for 1d4 rounds if the Elder Eidolon is effected by a Stone to Flesh, Transmute Rock to Mud, or similar effect (no save/no SR).
An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once. Gaining one of the following augments:

• Increase the SR to 15 + HD. If this augment is selected again, the eidoolon is instead Immune to any effect that allows SR
• Suppress this ability as a free action for 1 round, or as a immediate action in response to an effect that allows SR when it's not the eidolons turn.

Improved Senses (Su): The Elder Eidolon gains Tremorsense out to 60 feet, and gains a bonus to spot and listen checks equal to the eidolons Cha mod. This ability can be taken more than once, applying one of the following modifications each time after the first:

• The Elder Eidolon also gains Blindsight with equal distance to it’s Tremorsense. If this modification is selected again, the elder Eidolon gains True Seeing of a equal distance.
• The range of it’s Tremorsense is doubled.

Strength of the Fallen (Su): When an elder Eidolon is destroyed, it’s power temporarily lingers on, empowering it’s allies or hindering it’s enemies.
Select 1 creature per 5 HD the eidolon has (minimum 1) within Medium range (100 feet + 10 feet per HD). It gains one of the three following benefits (or penalties) for a number of rounds equal to the eidolon's Cha mod (minimum 2), or less if the ability has a shorter duration.

• +1/-1 to all attack rolls and damage rolls. This bonus/penalty is increased by 1 for every 3 HD the Elder Eidolon has.
• +1/-1 to AC and all saving throws. This bonus/penalty is increased by 1 for every 3 HD the Elder Eidolon has.
• One Transmutation spell from the Sorcerer/Wizard spell list of a level no higher than half the elder eidolons HD (CL equal to HD).

Targets are entitled to a saving throw (Fort DC 10 + half HD + cha mod), though beneficial abilities are usually harmless.
This ability can be selected more than once, applying one of the following augmentations each time:

• Double the number of targets.
• Double the duration of benefit(s)/penalty(s).
• Apply one additional benefit/penalty to the target(s)
• Choose one additional spell as an optional benefit/penalty to choose from.

An Elder Eidolon can choose to self destruct as a swift action, destroying the eidolon and activating Strength of the Fallen.




Frightful Gaze (Su): The Elder Eidolon gains a gaze attack with a range of 30 feet. A creature is entitled to a Saving Throw (Will DC 10 + half HD + Cha mod) to avoid the effect of the gaze. The effect of the gaze is based on the creature's HD.

HD	Effect
Up to the Eidolon's HD or Greater	Shaken Cha Mod Rounds
Up to the Eidolon's HD -1	Frightened 1 Round
Up to the Eidolon's HD -5	Panicked 1 Round
Up to the Eidolon's HD -10	Destroyed

A creature can be effected by more then one effect. Regardless of whether or not a creature succeeds it save or not, the creature is immune to effect for 24 hours after. This immunity is ignored if the Elder Eidolon chooses to actively use its gaze against the creature. Actively focusing a gaze on a creature is a standard action.
This ability can be selected more than once, applying one of the following augmentations each time:

• Double the range of the gaze attack.
• Double the duration of the effects of the gaze attack.
• Increase the maximum HD of each effect by 2.

This ability can be suppressed for 1d4 rounds as a free action.

Willpower (Ex): The elder eidolon gains Iron Will as a bonus feat.
This ability can be taken more than once, increasing the bonus of the feat by +2 each time. If taken twice, the Eidolon gains Mettle which applies to Will Saves only.

Overload Drive:The Elder Eidolon can activate it's Overload Drive, granting it superior combat ability at the cost of going berserk, potentially permanently.
While the Overload Drive is active, the Elder Eidolon recieve a +2 to hit and damage for all attacks, and increases all save DCs of it's abilities by 2. When the drive deactivates, the Elder Eidolon takes ability damage to each of it's mental ability scores equal to the number of rounds the drive was active (this ability damage ignores the Elder Eidolons' immunities, and heals at a rate of 1 point every 10 minutes after taking the damage). If any ability score is reduced to 0, the elder eidolon becomes mindless as detailed in the Elder Eidolon Construction Ritual.
Unlike a Barbarian rage, an Elder Eidolon is not limited to the types of actions it can take.
While the Overload Drive is active, the Elder Eidolon must attack those it perceives as foes to the best of it's ability. Should the elder eidolon run out of enemies before the drive is deactivated, it's rampage continues. The Eidolon must then attack the nearest creature (determine randomly if several potential foes are equidistant) and fight that opponent without regard to friendship, innocence, or health (the target's or her own).
There are only 3 ways the Overload Drive deactivates. The First way if for the Elder Eidolon to succeed on a Will Save at the start of it's turn with a DC equal to 10 + half HD + X, where X is equal to the twice the number of rounds the elder eidolon did not attempted the save (this number does not decrease after the Elder Eidolon does attempt to make a save.). An Elder Eidolon cannot choose to intentionally fail the save, but can choose to not make the save at the start of it's turn. The second way to deactivate the drive is to drop the Elder Eidolon below 0 HP, however this also usually destroys most Elder Eidolon. The Third way is to let the Drive time out, which happens a number of rounds after activation equal to the Elder Eidolon's highest mental ability score.
An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once, Gaining one of the following augments:

• Reduce the ability damage the Eidolon recieves after the drive is deactivated by 2 (min 0) and increase the maximum duration by 2.
• Increase the bonus to hit, damage and DCs by 1 each.
• Decrease the DC to deactivate the drive by 2.

After the drive deactivates, this ability is suppressed for 1d4 rounds.

Spell Attuned: Select one arcane spellcasting class. The Elder Eidolon gains new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if it had also gained 1 level in an arcane spellcasting class to which it belonged before adding gaining this geometry. It does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If it had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming an abjurant champion, the elder eidolon must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.
An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once, increasing spells per day and caster level for one arcane class as if he had gained one level in a spellcasting class. This ability can only be taken a number of times equal to 3/4th the class level of the Elder Eidolon.[/li][/list]

Ability Adaption: The Elder Eidolon fully adapts to it's new body and can use the abilities it gained prior to becoming an Elder Eidolon more effectively despite it's new body. The Elder Eidolon recalulates any abilities or traits which calculate based on it's Con Mod using its full Str Mod instead of half.

Advanced Construction: The Elder Eidolon can select one feat that requires levels in the Elder Eidolon class an a bonus feat.
An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once, gaining a bonus feat from the same list of feats.

Physical Geometry: An Elder Eidolon's body is a work of impossible geometry, warping the very fabric of reality around it to allow itself to exist. As this geometry grows more complex, the Eidolons body becomes stronger and more lethal.
A Elder Eidolon obtains a Physical Geometry every level but can never select the same Physical Geometry more than once for every 2 HD it has unless otherwise noted. An Elder Eidolon selects from the following list:

(click to show/hide)

Physical Prowess: The Elder Eidolon gains a +1 to any one physical ability score it has (Str, Dex, or Con). An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once.



Doom Cannon: The Elder Eidolon becomes walking artillery and gains a natural ranged attack. This attack can be used as a full-round action, but can be used only once every 4 rounds. A Doom cannon has 10 range increments of Medium (100 feet + 10 feet per HD) but must be targeted at least 20 feet away from the eidolon.
A Doom cannon deals 1d12 damage plus an additional 1d12 damage per 4 HD the Elder Eidolon possesses, and deals x3 damage on a crit (crit damage does not apply to splash damage). This attack crits buildings and objects and deals double damage to them. This damage is not increased do to size. In addition, Doom cannon deals splash damage in all squares within a 5 foot radius of the target (or within 1 square the target occupies if larger then medium). Those in the blast radius take half damage and can make Reflex saves (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Str mod) to take half that damage. If the attack misses it's primary target, that target is instead affected by the splash damage.
The Elder Eidolon can take this ability more than once, gaining one of the following augments to all of it's Doom Cannons:

• More barrels to shoot with! The Eidolon gains an additional Doom Cannon identical to it's others.
• Doom Cannons love dodecahedrons. Any additional dice damage the Doom Cannon receive is always upgraded to a d12.
• Flex those Cannons! Doom Cannon(s) receive additional damage equal to the Elder Eidolon’s Str bonus.
• Doom Cannons don’t crit by hitting vital spots, they crit by blowing things apart! The Doom Cannon(s) can crit anything normally immune to crits.
• Bigger explosions are better explosions! The Doom Cannon(s) blast radius is tripled. The Eidolon can alternate the size of the splash damage from base size to it’s max size as desired.
• They never knew what hit them. The Doom Cannon(s) range is now 5 range increments of Long(400 + 40 feet per HD).
• Shoot Faster! The Doom Cannon(s) recharge time is reduced by 2 round.
• Point-blank ballistics! The Doom Cannon(s) no longer have a minimum range and do not provoke AoOs. Doom Cannon(s) can be used as melee weapons and when done so is treated as both a melee weapon and ranged weapon (allowing Power attack and Point Blank Shot to be applied to the same attack for example).
• Shoot on the run! A single Doom Cannon can be fired as a standard action and all Doom Cannons can be fired as apart of full-attack action.

Natural Weapon: The Elder Eidolon gains an additional natural Weapon, chosen from the following list:

• Slam (1d6 + 1.5 Str / x2)
• Tentacle (1d6 + Str / x2 / Reach)
• 2 Claws (1d4 + .5 Str / x2) This natural weapon grants two arms, but they are weak and don't provide additional Str bonuses to weapons wielded with more then 2 hands (though they will provide the normal strength bonus if they are used to wield a weapon in 1 or 2 hands.)
• Bite (1d12 + Str / x2)
• Gore (1d10 + Str / x3)

When taking this Geometry, the Elder Eidolon can choose which of its natural weapons (or set of natural weapons) is it's primary natural weapon. These natural weapons are treated as the type of natural weapon they are stated to be, but can otherwise take on any shape that the Eidolon wishes, even taking the guise of manufactured weapons if so desired.
This ability can be selected more than once, but can never be take more then once every 3 HD.


Weapon Fusion: The Elder Eidolon can select one weapon of at least mastwerwork quality it possesses. This weapon is now treated as a natural weapon for the Eidolon, and the damage is deals is increased by one size catagory. The weapon must still be wielded as normal, and can still be sundered, disarmed, or otherwise effected as a normal manufactured weapon of it's type, but Eidolon gains a +5 bonus to any rolls to avoid or resist such effects, and the weapons hardness and HP increase by 1 for every HD the eidolon has. The Elder Eidolon can always sense the direction of a Fused Weapon seperated from him regardless of distance (assuming it remains on the same plane as the eidolon), and can once per turn teleport the weapon to his hands as a swift action as long as the weapon is within it's maximum range to the Elder Eidolon (or within reach for Melee weapons that lack a range).
The Eidolon takes half damage from any attack that damages the weapon (after the weapons hardness but before any damage reducing effects the eidolon has, and up to a maximum total damage of the weapons hit points). If the weapon is destroyed it can be reconstructed by spending half the weapons gold cost. This reconstruction does not require the remains of the broken weapon as the eidolon  possesses much of the essence of the weapon in itself, though if the remains are recovered the cost is reduced by half again totalling to 1/4 the weapons gold cost.


Impenetrable Shell (Ex): The Elder Eidolon natural armor bonus to AC is now equal to it's full strength modifier instead of half (min 1).
This ability can be selected multiple times. The elder eidolon recieves Improved Natural Armor (ignoring prerequesites) each time this ability is gained after the first.



Growth: The Elder Eidolons size increases by one step. This ability can be selected more than once, but can only be taken every 5 HD.



Transformation: The Elder Eidolon gains Deceivingly Innocent Form as a bonus feat, except the Elder Eidolon can instead choose to take the guise of it's base creature instead of a humanoid form (presuming it is not of a humanoid form already) and can completely suppress traits of its normal form (although it may lose access to special abilities and attacks related to those traits). If all of it's physical traits are completely suppressed, it gains an additional +10 to it's disguise checks, and the knowledge check to identify it is doubled.
If you already had the feat (or spend a feat to obtain it normally), you can now use it as a move or swift action every 1d4 rounds.


Self-Repairing Body (Ex): The body of elder Eidolon now repairs itself without the need of someone to maintain it. The Eidolon gains Fast Healing equal to half it's HD.
This ability can be taken multiple times, increasing the Fast Healing by half it's HD again. This Fast Healing can never exceed 1/4 the Elder Eidolons max HP.


Absorb Blows (Ex): The Elder Eidolon gain DR/adamantine equal to half it's HD. This ability is suppressed for 1d4 rounds if the Elder Eidolon is effected by a Stone to Flesh, Transmute Rock to Mud, or similar effect (no save/no SR).
This ability can be taken up to 3 times. The 2nd time this ability is taken, the damage reduction becomes DR/--. The third time it is taken the DR becomes Hardness (which ignores adamantine weapons and similar abilities to ignore Hardness below a certain amount).


Swiftness (Ex): The Elder Eidolon gains a +1 bonus to initiative checks and all it’s movement speeds are increased by 10 feet. Movement speed gained from the Levitation Mental Geometry is excluded, though the benefits are indirectly applied do to the way that ability functions.
This ability can be selected more than once.


Toughness (Ex): The elder eidolons gains +1 hit points per HD and is treated as having the Toughness feat. This ability can be selected more than once, gaining an additional +1 hit points per HD. If this ability is taken twice, the Eidolon gains Endurance and Diehard as bonus feats and is destroyed when living creatures normally die from hit point loss.


Agile (Ex): The elder eidolon gains Lightnig Reflexes as a bonus feat.
This ability can be taken more than once, increasing the bonus of the feat by +2 each time. If taken twice, the Eidolon gains Evasion.


Resiliant (Ex): The elder eidolon gains Great Fortitude as a bonus feat.
This ability can be taken more than once, increasing the bonus of the feat by +2 each time. If taken twice, the Eidolon gains Mettle which applies to Fortitiude Saves only.


Death Throes (Su): When an elder eidolon is destroyed, the unraveling of it’s geometries creates a shockwave of force, dealing 1d12 force damage per 2 HD (rounded up) to all creatures within 5 feet of the eidolon per HD. Those caught in the blast can make a Reflex save (DC 10 + half HD + str mod) to take half damage. Other Elder Eidolon with this ability are immune to this ability.
An Elder Eidolon can choose to self destruct as a swift action, destroying the eidolon and activating Death Throes.

Extra Movement Mode (Ex):Select one of the following movement speeds. The Elder Eidolon gains this movement speed.

• Burrow Speed equal to half the Elder Eidolon's fastest natural speed which can pass thru earth and unworked stone. The elder Eidolon can also create a tunnel able to fit it's size at a rate of half its burrow speed per round.
• Climb Speed equal to the Elder Eidolon's fastest natural speed.
• Swim Speed equal to twice the Elder Eidolon's fastest natural speed.

An Elder Eidolon can select this ability more than once, selecting a diffrent movement speed each time.

Ability Increase (Ex): An Elder Eidolon gains +2 to Strength at level 2nd, 6th, and 10th; and +1 to Dex and Cha at levels 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th. This gives them a total of +6 Str, +4 Dex, and +4 Cha.

Greater Eidolon Body (Ex): The Elder Eidolon's geometry has advanced to the point where it's body is not wholly on the material plane. This translates into a a Deflection bonus to AC and a Circumstance bonus to all saves and checks against nonmagical effects equal to half it's Cha bonus, as well as DR/Magic equal to the Eidolons HD.

Perfected Eidolon Body (Ex): The Elder Eidolon has phased so far out of the plane that it's physical body is little more than a mirage.
The Elder Eidolon is immune to all nonmagical attack forms. It can be harmed only by other elder eidolon, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities, supernatural abilities or similar effects. The Eidolon can act as if it did not have this Immunity if it so chooses.
Further, once per day per Cha mod the Elder Eidolon has, the Elder Eidolon can completely retreat into it's pocket dimension as an immediate action. As a result, the elder eidolon leaves the area it occupies and is immune to any harm or effects until the start of it's next turn. This ability can only be used once every 4 rounds.
In addition, The elder eidolon can enter or pass through solid objects, but must remain adjacent to the object’s exterior, and so cannot pass entirely through an object whose space is larger than its own. It can sense the presence of creatures or objects within a square adjacent to its current location, but enemies have total concealment (50% miss chance) from the elder eidolon if it is inside an object. In order to see farther from the object it is in and attack normally, the elder eidolon must emerge. An elder eidolon inside an object has total cover, but when it attacks a creature outside the object it only has cover, so a creature outside with a readied action could strike at it as it attacks. The elder eidolon cannot pass through a force effect.

Alternate Class Features


Living Eidolon
Level: 1st
Benefit: This benefit modifies the Eidolon Body class feature, granting the Elder Eidolon the Living Constuct subtype in addition to the Construct type, gaining the following traits instead:

(click to show/hide)

• Unlike other constructs, a living construct has a Constitution score. A living construct does not gain bonus hit points by size but gains (or loses) bonus hit points through a Constitution bonus (or penalty) as with other living creatures.
• Unlike other constructs, a living construct does not have low-light vision or darkvision.
• Unlike other constructs, a living construct is not immune to mind-influencing effects.
• Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, disease, nausea, fatigue, exhaustion, and energy drain.
• A living construct cannot heal damage naturally.
• Unlike other constructs, living constructs are subject to critical hits, effects requiring a Fort save, death from massive damage, nonlethal damage, stunning, ability damage, ability drain, and death effects or necromancy effects.
• Living constructs can be affected by spells that target living creatures as well as by those that target constructs. Damage dealt to a living construct can be healed by a cure light wounds spell or a repair light damage spell, for example, and a living construct is vulnerable to a harm spell. However, spells from the healing subschool provide only half effect to a living construct.
• A living construct responds slightly differently from other living creatures when reduced to 0 hit points. A living construct with 0 hit points is disabled, just like a living creature. He can only take a single move action or standard action in each round, but strenuous activity does not risk further injury. When his hit points are less than 0 and greater than -10, a living construct is inert. He is unconscious and helpless, and he cannot perform any actions. However, an inert living construct does not lose additional hit points unless more damage is dealt to him, as with a living creature that is stable.
• Can be raised or resurrected.

In addition, the gold piece cost prerequisite is reduced to 200 * level with no base cost. You can lose this class feature and regain the normal Eidolon Body class feature (losing the Living Construct subtype), by paying the diffrence in gold cost between the gold you have currently spent on yourself and the normal prerequisite gold cost.



Ancient Rootwalker


Level: 1st
Benefit: This benefit modifies the Eidolon Body class feature, granting the Elder Eidolon the Plant type instead of the Construct type, gaining the following traits instead:

(click to show/hide)

• Low-light vision.
• Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).
• Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, polymorph, and stunning.
• Not subject to critical hits.
• Plants breathe and eat, but do not sleep.

In addition, the following Geometries are modified:

• Reality Phantasm now selects spells off the Druid Spell list of the Transmutation and Divination schools.
• Strength of the Fallen now selects spells off the Druid Spell list of the Transmutation school.
• Servitors are now of the Plant type.
• Natural Weapon's option to treat a Masterwork Weapon as a Natural weapon can now only be used on weapons not made of metal.

All class features of this class that calculate off of Charisma now calculate off of Wisdom.


ideas -


Aleax
change greater/perfected/eidolon body to provide bonuses to attacking specific target (favored enemy/smite?) and defensive bonuses against other targets, capping at ability to ignore others besides target (and not be able to attack/effect others as well). Gain optional ability to mimic targets abilities. Track and bonus towards target. Choose Cleric spells instead of Sor/Wiz for certain abilities

Effigy
swap out some magical abilities for physical ones. Change Mindslayer Strikes to Physical Ability score damage. change Greater/Perfected Eidolon body abilities

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Feats


Modular Design
The Elder Eidolon can quickly swap between two Geometries to suit it's needs.
Prerequisites: Elder Eidolon 1st.
Benefit: Choose one of the physical or mental geometries you currently possess. Choose another of the same kind you don't have yet. As a standard action you can swap between them, gaining the benefits of one and losing the benefits of the other. The Eidolon maintains access to a selected ability until he chooses to switch again. A geometry can only be switched once every 4 rounds. Suppressed abilities cannot be switched out.
Special: This feat can be taken multiple times.


Prepared Geometry
The Elder Eidolon can utilize it's knowledge to modifiy it's Geometry.
Prerequisites: Elder Eidolon 1st, Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering) 10 ranks
Benefit: Select a Physical Geometry or Mental Geometry slot. After spending 8 hours of rest (or in the case for constructs, 8 hours of inactivity), the Elder Eidolon can change the ability tied to that slot to a new one, losing the benefit of the former and gaining the benefit of the latter.
Special: If the Eidolon selects a slot also slected by the Modular Design Feat, he can choose to change both options to new abilities and switch between them as normal.
Special: This feat can be taken multiple times.


Mixed Geometry
The nature of a Elder Eidolon can blur the line between the physical and the mental.
Prerequisites: Elder Eidolon 1st
Benefit: Select one Geometry slot (Mental or Physical). You can choose a Mental Geometry in place of a Physical Geometry, or vice versa.
Special: This feat can be taken multiple times.


Emergency Geometry
Some Elder Eidolon have special Geometry that they can only activate for a limited time, usually when in danger.
Prerequisites: Elder Eidolon 1st
Benefit: Select one Mental Geometry or Physical Geometry. As a swift action, you gain access to this Geometry. You can have this ability active for a number of rounds per day equal to 1/2 HD + 2. Theses rounds need not be consecutive, but you must spend a swift action to activate them each time. Deactivating this ability is a free action after activating it for at least 1 round.
Special: This feat can be taken multiple times.


Alter Powersource
Some Elder Eidolon function on different Geometric principles then others, and require a different mindset to be effective
Prerequisites: Elder Eidolon 1st
Benefit: Choose one Mental Ability Score. All Elder Eidolon class features calculate off of this Ability Score instead of the default Ability Score (normally Charisma), and any bonuses to the original ability score gained from the Elder Eidolon class are replaced with bonuses to the chosen Ability Score.

Construction

Transforming a creature into an Elder Eidolon is a dangerous endevor that puts the creature at risk of losing it's sanity, and even destroying it's soul. The transformation ritual involves infusing the creatures body and soul with chaotic alien energies taken from the far planes and materials forged from stone and metal from the deepest reaches of the earth.

The ritual to create a Elder Eidolon is one thought lost to the past, but the secret has managed to be passed down in whispers between mad masters and eager apprentices. To know and be able to perfrom the ritual requires a DC 25 Knowledge check (Arcana or Architecture and Engineering) as well as having the Craft Construct feat.

The Ritual requires 24 hours to complete as well as materials to be used in the ritual and be incorperated into the creatures body (as noted in the prerequesites). The creature the ritual is being performed on must be either willing or helpless, and once the ritual has begun the creature remains helpless until the ritual is completed or interrupted. At the end of the ritual the creator must make a DC 20 Spellcraft check as well as a DC 20 Craft check (Metalworking, Stoneworking, or similar). These checks may be assisted.
If one of the checks fail, the creature must make a DC 20 will save to avoid becoming a failed Eidolon (see below).
If both checks fail, the ritual goes horribly wrong, and creature must make a DC 20 will save to become a failed eidolon or be destroyed. Even the soul of the creature is destroyed, so the creature cannot be raised or ressurected until a miracle or wish spell is cast to restore the creature's soul.


Failed Eidolons
Failed Eidolons are elder eidolons that did not manage to endure the consturction ritual and are mentally crippled as a result. First, a Failed Eidolon gains the first level of the Elder Eidolon class as normal, but does not gain the normal benefits of subsequent levels of the class. Instead, the failed eidolon one Geometry (Physical or Mental) every 2 levels of the class instead of normal progression, and does not gain the Greater and Perfected Eidolon Body class features, nor does it have any class skills for the class. The failed eidolon also cannot take Feats that require Elder Eidolon levels.
Further, the botched ritual damages the mind and soul of the failed eidolon, and the eidolon takes a -6 to Int, Wis, and Cha. Should any of these scores drop to 0, the failed eidolons mind and soul are destroyed and it becomes Mindless (though any score besides Int that is dropped to 0 or below becomes 1 instead).

Mindless failed Eidolon go berserk and attack any non elder eidolon, though they won't wander outside of an area they are in unless chancing a creature. Particularly stupid confident individuals can attempt to restrain a mindless eidolon to advance it's HD, and can give the eidolon levels of the (failed) Elder Eidolon class in place of Consruct HD, choosing it's Geometries in place of the Construct, paying any costs as normal. They still don't control the creatue, but this doesnt stop the person from sticking the eidolon somewhere to effectively act as a guard (assuming the person survives doing so).
A creature made into a mindless failed eidolon cannot be raised or ressurected until the eidolon is destroyed and a miracle or wish spell is cast to restore the creature's soul.

As long as the failed Elder Eidolon did not become mindless in the process, the effects of becoming a failed Elder Eidolon can be reverse with a miracle or wish spell, removing the ability score penalties and gaining the normal benefits of the Elder Eidolon class.




A failed eidolon gone berserk...

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Okay here is my hacked together Template class losely based on Elder Eidolons (LoM) and more losely Shardsoul Slayers (MM5), Aleax (BoED), and Effigys (CA) and inspired by lovecraftian monsters and sugoi animu gurls.

I went witha more modular approach akin to the titanic creature template class, but bumped the class up from being only 3 levels at +3 CR base to a 10 levels to make more complex and powerful eidolon, and 10 levels seemed like a good break point for a prestige class.

I wanted to go with the feel of being some eldritch creation of the past and a hulking war machine.

It still needs a lot of fine tunning and balancing, as well as a lot better wording and probably more detailed wording.

[GuesssWho]

Interesting. I'm not sure why you made it a prestige class, though.

[ketaro]

It's a template.

[oslecamo]

Oh, I like what you're doing here, I like it a lot...

At first glance the only critique that jumps my mind is that it needs moar fanservice the clause that you need to pay exp/gold for the spells you use in the relevant abilities, in particular the ones that's turning them into Su abilities.

Also, since it's a template, you need to clarify whatever happens to old natural armor. Probably the best option would be to simply lose the old natural armor.

And I should also point out that mindless creatures can't take levels, so if the eidolon ends up mindless at first level, they can't progress at all.

Modular design seems ways better than the other feats so far. Two extra abilities for one feat is crazy good, even if you only get to keep one active at a time.

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Oh, I like what you're doing here, I like it a lot...

Thank you I try.

At first glance the only critique that jumps my mind is that it needs moar fanservice the clause that you need to pay exp/gold for the spells you use in the relevant abilities, in particular the ones that's turning them into Su abilities.

Yeah I remember making a mental note of that in my head and I completly forgot to put it in, moar sugoi animu gurls incoming inserting clause now.

Also, since it's a template, you need to clarify whatever happens to old natural armor. Probably the best option would be to simply lose the old natural armor.

Would take the better bonus be fine? I'd like to keep any overlapping traits from the base creature relevent if they would normally be better.

And I should also point out that mindless creatures can't take levels, so if the eidolon ends up mindless at first level, they can't progress at all.

Should I insert a clause to allow leveling for a mindless Eidolon in this class only? I was thinking about putting in a magic item easting rule to count towards the gold piece cost, maybe allow mindless Eidolons to also eat magic item xp to force levels? I'd like for advanced Eidolon to be an option for mindless ones.

Modular design seems ways better than the other feats so far. Two extra abilities for one feat is crazy good, even if you only get to keep one active at a time.

Do you think I should turn Modular Design down a notch or bump the others?
I could probably make Prepared Geometry and mixed Geometry apply to more then one  Geometry, maybe based off a Mental score, and make Emergency Geometry have a longer duration and/or duration not be consecuative (like PF Barbarian Rage).
If I nerfed Modular Design I could probably make it a standard or move action and/or increase the time of how often you can switch.

[ketaro]

For Mindless Eidolon, they'd be under the control of the crafter, so more levels in this could just be built in by the crafter adding HD?

[oslecamo]

Yeah I remember making a mental note of that in my head and I completly forgot to put it in, moar sugoi animu gurls incoming inserting clause now.

Nice! And since I'm at it, where's the girl with the monster hat from?

That works too.

Eeerrr, the problem is more that mindless isn't really something you should be putting in a class meant for player characters. Mindless doesn't only mean you're screwed out of taking levels, it also means no skill points at all and no feats. And then the more obvious question "you're mindless, how are you even taking your own decisions?". That's the reasons why golems and zombies and other mindless creatures are done as "awakened" versions here. I strongly advise you to put an Int or Cha penalty or something, but "you completely lose your own Int score" should never be a PC ability. It simply goes against everything that means being a PC. And 7500 gold is way too cheap for flawlessly enslaving defeated enemies with no control cap whatsoever.

Do you think I should turn Modular Design down a notch or bump the others?
I could probably make Prepared Geometry and mixed Geometry apply to more then one  Geometry, maybe based off a Mental score, and make Emergency Geometry have a longer duration and/or duration not be consecuative (like PF Barbarian Rage).
If I nerfed Modular Design I could probably make it a standard or move action and/or increase the time of how often you can switch.

On second view, prepared geometry and Modular Design may be ok as they are, Emergency Geometry having a bigger duration and/or granting two geometries simultaneously sounds good.

Also why would you want to pick Mixed geometry more than once?

For Mindless Eidolon, they'd be under the control of the crafter, so more levels in this could just be built in by the crafter adding HD?

No. This is meant for a PC who wants to play an Elder Eidolon themselves. Under no circumstance should this turn up as a way for a caster to get himself an army of cheap caster constructs.

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Most of those girls are Abyssal Ships from Kantai Collection

I can probably agree with that but.
I know PCs can't and shouldnt go mindless but I'd like for the option of Mindless Eidolons for the DM side of things. Maybe remove the control and make them berserk, attacking any non-eidolons? Elder Eidolon were originally ancient and forgotton guardians of lost places, so mindless ones can just be put into places to be guarded and left to their own devices.
Or I could apply a mental penalty like you said, its not like a DM couldnt DM them as Mindless without them actually being Mindless. That way it doesnt get in the way of PCs taking the class and can't be abused for easy minions.

Do you think I should turn Modular Design down a notch or bump the others?

On second view, prepared geometry and Modular Design may be ok as they are, Emergency Geometry having a bigger duration and/or granting two geometries simultaneously sounds good.

Also why would you want to pick Mixed geometry more than once?

The wording is off, I actually wanted to have it allow you to take one Geometry over one opposing Geometry.
You probably wouldnt want to take Mixed Geometry more then once, and in most cases at all, but's it's there if you really want to speed up progression for a certain ability and are willing to give up a feat and opposing Geometry.
It might not be a problem if it let you let freely choose between opposing Geometries, probably.

[ketaro]

I yelled at you so much about how the Mindless possibility was wrong and shouldn't even be a chance of an option and I told you Os would say something similar.

Freakin' listen to me sometimes man.

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Hey I changed it from what it was.
It is still a lot better then what it was before.


I dont know I can probably just copy paste the Half-Golem classes mindless risk and be fine.

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

I wrote up a new creation ritual and put it into the 3rd post of the thread.

Going mindless is now only a risk if the Eidolon becomes a failed eidolon and the mental penalties drop a score to 0 or below, and Eidolon is not at risk of becoming a failed Eidolon unless the creator misses up one of his skill checks.

Is that fine or no?

[oslecamo]

I like it, I'm all for bersek guardians that may turn against their masters, instead of super butlers that make you wonder why everyody doesn't buy one for their home. Now you just need to edit it in the actual class features.

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

I pasted it into the first post in a spoiler under the Prerequisites.


Im thinking about a mental geometry that grants Spellcasting Affinity for casters that want to go Gish.

However I don't quite get how it works.
So if a Monster has Spellcasting Affinity for say Arcane Casting and goes Monster 3/Wizard 1, would he have spells as a 5th level Wizard, or would he have access to 3rd level spells, have CL5th, and have 0/1/1 0Lv/1st/2nd level spells slots plus bonus spells?
And if the latter, the monster later gained Monster 4, would he lose those 1st and 2nd level spell slots and gain a 3rd level spell slot?
Really the cumulative mention at the top of the tables is confusing me.


Im also thinking about switching the Deflection bonus from Deflective Geometry and Greater Eidolon Body to be based off Charisma instead of Wisdom. I originally intended to have more abilites based off Wisdom so you could build either a wisdom based Eidolon or a Charisma based one, but that didnt happen, and those abilites feel a little off how they are.
I'll also change this Wisdom bonus increases to Dex sense wisdom is no longer in the build and the original template has a Dex bonus anyways.

He would never lose spell slots. He wouldn't however gain any new spells until he took a new wizard level. So yes, the order you take the levels matters quite a bit.

Sounds good.

[Threadnaught]

Doom Cannon has a problem with one of it's upgrades.

A Doom cannon deals 1d12 damage plus an additional 1d12 damage per 4 HD the Elder Eidolon possesses, and deals x3 damage on a crit (crit damage does not apply to splash damage).

Doom Cannons love dodecahedrons. Any additional dice damage the Doom Cannon receive is always upgraded to a d12.

As you can plainly see, this upgrade does nothing more than eat up a Physical Geometry in exchange for no benefit. Either a removal or fix seems to be required.


I've been looking for a way to get the Construct versions of a Beholder, Dragon, Chimera, Hydra and Remorhaz, to take the shape of the ultimate life form, a Kraken.
For homebrew inspired Campaigns only of course.

[ketaro]

Threadnaught. Imagine a Sneak Attack build for this Elder Eidolon with the Doom Cannon. Or even easier, Skirmish bonus dice with Scout.

Yeah it's basiclly for those, or weapon enchants like Flaming and stuff.

Really though I just want an excuse to roll a lot of d12s.
