Summoner / Cleric

[xroads]

I'm contemplating playing a summoner/cleric. My idea is to use healing magics to support my allies and my eidiolon to fish wounded allies out from close combat. Is this a good character concept?

[Troacctid]

No. Summoners don't multiclass well and there is no Mystic Theurge equivalent that allows you to progress both classes' abilities at once. The two classes also cast off different ability scores, making you MAD. It is bad.

Summoners actually get a lot of party support spells anyway, while Clerics get a lot of summoning. Especially if you choose the Samsaran race and weld spells from one class onto another. Just choose one or the other class and you'll be fine.

I'm also thinking a druid works just as well. Has an animal companion and healing spells.

You could always take one of the domains that grants an animal companion, and then take boon companion to level it up.

Sure, if all you're looking for is a companion and healing/party support then yeah Druid is the best option.
