Your Thoughts? Draft#7 of my Pathfinder Society Level-7 "Sum Sum Noir the Half-Elf"

Draft#7 of my Pathfinder Society Level-7 "Sum Sum Noir the Half-Elf"
and the Eidolon "Commander Red Lioness"

I'm running this up the flagpole to get a final 'sanity' check. Your thoughts, please?

[MY NOTATIONS IN SQUARE BRACKETS for Stat Blocks]

After getting a lot of input, this is what I came up with.

"Commander Red Lioness - the Eidolon" when on the normal plane
is the dominant, with "Sum Sum" willingly being mostly subservient.

Commander does have a saddle, but currently lacks the Mount evolution - intentionally.
She will accept a rider when enlarged and it is clear that speed or manuverability
is required.

So, this is Draft #7 of my 7th Level Battle Eidolon and Control Summoner.

I've got the Initiative Feat and Trait flagged for VL review, to see if I can back
those out due to GM's wanting the Eidolon to go on Players initiative, and it sucks
a lemon to be denied use of your feats.

I did get Haste and Black Tentacles due to grabbing Epanded Arcana, and
taking 2 extra spells since they are both below my maximum spell casting level. #WINNING

Description
--------------------
Red Lioness is a fantastical melding of humanistic head
and torso with a Lion Quadraped form.

Her front legs contain powerful claws, while her arms
provide a devestating slam attack. And her mouth can render a painful bite.

5 feet long, and standing 4 feet high, with a red fur and cinamon skin
mixed to create a beautiful natural armor.

"Commander Red Lioness - the Eidolon" when on the normal plane is the team
dominant, with "Sum Sum" willingly being mostly subservient.

Looks good so far, the only thing I would suggest is replacing the 2 "Improved Damage" with "Ability Increase > STR".
Since the Eidolon is still Medium, Imp Damage really only gets you +1 damage per specific attack, while +2 STR is +1 damage AND +1 To-Hit on ALL attacks.

Also, do you plan on your 'tool-box' weapons being magical? or just special materials?

THANK YOU so very much! I made the change in Evolutions as suggested.

Per the Manufactured Weapons - eventually when there is $$$ they will be going magical.
For the short term, if I need to get through Magic, I will count on my Amulet of Mighty Fists + 1 w/ Natural Attacks. At least, I think that should work.

Did you have other thoughts?

Next level, grab one of the Evolution Surge (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/e/evolution-surge) spells (either as a 3rd level spell, or using the "trade-in" option for the 2nd level version).
You won't need to get all 3 versions, but you'll want at least one, as being able to grab the _exact_ right Evolution on the spur of the moment is VERY handy.
The Lesser/2nd level version gives access to things like Energy Immunity, Flight, Shadow Form, or for your case, you could even grab Limbs>Arms and use Slam AND a Weapon.

The 'normal'/3rd level version gives access to anything on the list. Notably, you can keep your Eidolon Medium-size for "travel" purposes, and Surge>Large it when combat comes. Note: be wary of what size your Manufactured weapons are if you do this. Enlarge Person increases the size of carried weapons, making the Eidolon Evo>Large does NOT increase manufactured weapon size.

If being Large isn't going to be a problem (i.e. not many dungeons), then you should probably buy it at level 8. For just 4 Evo points you get a massive +8 STR, and all of your Natural Attacks get a size-damage boost. There's also a CON boost and Nat armor, and a DEX penalty and...overall VERY worth the points spent.
You'll gain 1 Evo for leveling to 8, can drop Ability Increase for another 2 points. Not sure what else to ditch though. Weapon Prof needs to stay (as per previous thread), Natural Weapons are good, Energy Attacks is quite handy...hmm...
I guess drop Energy Attacks or the Slam.
