[PF] Eidolon with reach evolution

[Yomega]

So if an eidolon has the reach evolution like the serpantine form has on its bite can it attack squares ajacent to it as well? And could you please include a referance so I can tell my buddy and his gm where to look. Thanks

Only reach weapons have the restriction on not attacking adjacent squares.

Natural reach does not have such a restriction. If a monster has reach 10 ft with its natural weapons, it can hit 5 or 10 ft out. That's just...how the game works.

Yes, it can attack squares both adjacent and up to 10 feet (2 squares away). The difference here is between natural reach and "reach weapons".

Unlike when someone uses a reach weapon, a creature with greater than normal natural reach (more than 5 feet) still threatens squares adjacent to it. A creature with greater than normal natural reach usually gets an attack of opportunity against you if you approach it, because you must enter and move within the range of its reach before you can attack it. This attack of opportunity is not provoked if you take a 5-foot step.

Large or larger creatures using reach weapons can strike up to double their natural reach but can't strike at their natural reach or less.
