[Pathfinder] Half-Elf Summoner w/ Mounted Conundrum

[Nullmancer]

Heya, my last character died, and after trying out the Pathfinder system for the first time, I have in mind a character concept I want to try out. With your help, I would like to refine it. Here is what I've got. (The stat rolls are based off of a set I rolled in front of the DM if you're asking). For now, this thread will deal with levels one to eight.

Well, generally a mounted archer's advantage is that they can easily keep out of melee while making full attacks. But a pouncing Eidolon wants to charge into melee every chance it can get. So I think there's a clash in your function.

I'd suggest just grabbing a lance and using that to hit things when your Eidolon charges.

Full Attack:
Primary = +9
Two Weapon Fighting = +7/+2

2 Kukri (1d6 +3)
1 Additional Kukri (1d6 +3)
2 Claws (1d6 + 3)
1 Sting (1d6 + 3)
1 Bite (1d8 + 3)

4 Primary Strikes
3 Weapon Strikes

If using a manufactured weapon, then ALL Natural Attacks are considered Secondary. So your Natural attacks would be at +4.
The good news is that at Summoner/Eidolon 9 the Eidolon gets Multiattack feat for free, which drops Secondary to-hit penalties to only -2, which would bring your naturals back up to +7, but they'd still be Secondary attacks.

Since all of your Naturals will be considered Secondary, you may as well swap out the Sting for a Tail Slap, it's damage is one size bigger.
Sadly, Pincers cannot be placed on Legs, so you'll have to be content with Claws on your feet.

Alright, more indepth review time...

levels one to eight.

Nothing out of place here, obviously going for Max Evo points.

Well....it'd be nice if you had 2 high Rolls, but Summoner doesn't _demand_ a high casting stat, so it's workable.
Obviously going for an Mounted Archer-ish build, so not much to say there.


Str: 14 (+3 from bonus)
Dex: 14 (+3 from bonus)
Con: 13
Int: 7
Wis: 10
Cha: 11
Eidolon gets an Ability Increase at 5th. Most likely throw it at CON.


Skills:
Acrobatics: 8
Fly: 8
Perception: 8
Stealth: 8

Eidolons only get 3/4 the HD you do, so at 8 they only have 6HD (and are thus limited to 6 per skill) and 24 Skill points.


Evolutions (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner/eidolons): (Level 8 - 15 points)
F - Bite
F - Limbs (Legs) (2)
4 - Large
4 - Magical Flight
2 - Limbs
1 - Mount
1 - Claws
1 - Pounce
1 - Tail
1 - Sting
As I pointed out before, at the very least drop the Sting for a Slap, it'll be the same accuracy, but slightly better damage.
Now that I think about it though, I'm inclined to say just drop the Tail+Attack entirely and spend those 2 points elsewhere. Such as more Limbs(Arms), which leads me to the next section...


Feats:
Martial Weapon Proficiency (Kukri)
Two-Weapon Fighting
Improved Two-Weapon Fighting

On a creature with 3+ Arms, Two-weapon Fighting becomes Multiweapon Fighting (www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/multiweapon-fighting-combat). Same basics as Two-Weapon (all attacks get -2 if using Light, etc...). And obviously skip Improved (with Multiweapon it's even debatable if you would qualify at all anyway).

This saves you a feat, and with the extra Limbs from above you now have 4 Kukris to go with your 3 Naturals.

Your attack routine at 8th would be
Kukris: +7/+7/+7/+7/+2 (Hooray! Iterative!)
Natural: +4/+4/+4 (Bite/Claw/Claw)

At 9th Eidolon gets Multiattack for free, reducing the Secondary Attack penalties to -2 from -5 (WOO!!), and at 10th you get another natural increase to STR/DEX and another Ability Score increase. And you're always gaining Evo-Points.
The Ability Score increase can go pretty much anywhere at this point, although I'd skip WIS and CHA. INT is debatable.
Evo-Points can go towards Natural Attacks, Arms>Kukri attacks, or utility stuff.
