Summoner Broodmaster, Can it work?

[Merellin]

Hello again! While I am trying to make my first character work, And I am still considering the awesomeness of a Halfing Wolf riding cavalier as my second character, I did notice the summoner that seems like a cool and fun character, then I noticed the Broodmaster who gets two Eidolons! And I wanted to see if this is actualy useable?

Both Eidolons are small instead of medium, Does this give them any penalties or bonuses? I had this idea of making a character who has two angel like Eidolons accompanying him (I'd evolve wings on them when I get the points and have them biped) Or maybe 1 angel and 1 canine like one..

Are their ability scores (Strenght, Dexterity, Constitution and on on) Also cut in haf and split across both of them..?

It can be fun at _low_ levels, and there are some tricks you can pull with Broodmaster that are harder to do elsewhere, but it is overall considered a straight downgrade from normal Summoner.

From the Eidolon Base Form (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner/eidolons)s section:
"If the eidolon is Small, it gains a +2 bonus to its Dexterity score. It also takes a –4 penalty to its Strength and a –2 penalty to its Constitution. It also gains a +1 size bonus to its AC and attack rolls, a –1 penalty to its CMB and CMD scores, a +2 bonus on its Fly skill checks, and a +4 bonus on its Stealth skill checks. Reduce the damage of all of its attacks by one step (1d6 becomes 1d4, 1d4 becomes 1d3)."

The archetype (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner/archetypes/paizo---summoner-archetypes/broodmaster) says what gets split, and how.
Assume 2nd level Broodmaster. You start with the (small) Base form stats, so for a Biped and Quad, you'd have:
Biped 12 STR, 14 DEX, 11 CON
Quad 10 STR, 16 DEX, 11 CON
Base Attack and Saves are 'special' in that you count the full-effective level for each, so they both have +2 Bab, and +3/+0 to Saves.
The rest of this is spelled out quite well in the Example (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner/archetypes/paizo---summoner-archetypes/broodmaster).

Reference the Eidolon Table (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner/eidolons) if needed.
Basically, Bab, Saves and anything in "special" applies to all of your Eidolons (except as altered by the Broodmaster).
Everything else must be divided.

Thanks for the post! It was much helpful ^_^ I think the Summoned seems like much fun, And Broodmaster just seems funny (Mayhaps a archer Eidolon and a fighter Eidolon.. xD) But maybe a regular summoner would be more useful to have arround..

And thanks for the bit about the size, I missed that somehow, I blame being tierd..
