My old gaming group is starting up again after a few years and we're all making new characters. I'm trying to figure out if playing a Summoner or Druid is fun for me.
I've got this idea of playing a weak, timid character who's in awe of his Compagnion/Eidolon and thinks of himself as totally unimportant. He regards the creature as the master and himself as the servant.
This would mean that I'd have to roleplay the creature pretty actively as well, as the two would have different personalities. But I'm having trouble imagining playing for two. Would this be annoying to the other players? Would I be having conversations with myself? (Maybe not conversations per se as the creature can't talk, but interaction all the same.)
I get that this concept is pretty unconventional, but there must be players who have roleplayed their compagnion of eidolon actively who could give me advice, right?
PS: This could also work with a wizard/arcane bloodline sorcerer with a talking raven familiar. "Hi, my name is [familiar's name] and this is my familiar, [wizard's name]."
