Improving the Speed of an Eidolon

[Dr. Cliché]

Is there any way to increase a Summoner's (Bipedal) Eidolon's speed *without* giving it extra limbs?

[Eldonauran]

...Yes. Outside of obvious magical means (Expeditious retreat or Haste), magical items (Boots of Striding and Springing) and the feat Fleet (https://aonprd.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Fleet), did you have something more specific in mind? Or other limitations? Just land speed? Swim speed? Etc?

Just land speed, but I was aiming to do it without spells or items, if at all possible.

Ah, well, that feat is the way you ought to go, but ... I personally don't think 5ft is worth a feat.

You could go for magical flight in your evolution list.

Is your game limited to first party content or do you have more room to roam?

For example, I know there is an athletics talent from Spheres of Might that increases land speed from 10 to 30, depending on acrobatics score.

Which would cost 2 feats of the eidolon's.

No, I'd be inclined to agree.

We can use anything on the PathfinderSRD site. So if this is there I should be able to use it.

Do you know what it's called?

Swift Movement.

Knowing that limitation, with the feat tax of wild talent, your eidolon can pick up Speed of Thought from Psionics.

The Martial Training feat tree has some options, Riven Hourglass seems the best bet- Martian Training 2 can net your eidolon Unhindered Step (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/path-of-war/disciplines-and-maneuvers/Riven-Hourglass-maneuvers/#TOC-Unhindered-Step).

Martial Training 3 can score your Eidolon Time Skitter (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/path-of-war/disciplines-and-maneuvers/Riven-Hourglass-maneuvers/#TOC-Time-Skitter).

And Martial Training 6 which won't be available until your summoner is level 19, can score your eidolon Sand Bearer's Swiftness (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/path-of-war/disciplines-and-maneuvers/Riven-Hourglass-maneuvers/#TOC-Sand-Bearer-s-Swiftness) and Temporal Distortion (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/path-of-war/disciplines-and-maneuvers/Riven-Hourglass-maneuvers/#TOC-Temporal-Distortion).

Buy a warhorse and have the eidolon take ranks in Ride.
