# Twin Soul
From birth, your soul has been linked to one specific extraplanar being, called an eidolon, and with that link sorcerous powers have awoken in you. This link might be the result of a pact your parents made with a powerful extraplanar being, a curse placed on you, or perhaps you're the chosen of a specific deity.

In times of need, you have the ability to call your eidolon for help to fight at your side. Your eidolon may have its own mind and alignment, but yet remains fiercely loyal to you, as one of you would be powerless without the other.

### Summon Eidolon
At 1st level, you discover your connection to an extraplanar being known as an eidolon. Choose if your eidolon is of celestial, fiendish or fey nature. The statistics for the different types of eidolons are listed below, which use your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. The specific appearance of your eidolon is up to you: it can resemble a humanoid, a beast or have an even more exotic shape.

Your eidolon spends most of its time on its home plane. As an action, you can summon your eidolon and cause it to appear in an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of you. In combat, the eidolon shares your initiative count, but takes its turn immediately after yours. For your eidolon to use its powers, your link with it must be constantly maintained. The eidolon can move and take reactions on its own, but can only take the Dodge action on its turn, unless you use a bonus action on your turn to maintain the link and allow it to take any action (and possibly bonus action) of its choice. If you are incapacitated, your eidolon can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

While your eidolon stays within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Whenever you cast a spell that targets only you, you can cause it to target your eidolon, instead of you.

Your eidolon remains for a number of hours equal to your proficiency bonus, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you dismiss it as an action, or until you die, at which point it returns to its home plane. When your eidolon is banished, it leaves behind all worn or carried equipment, except for magic items it is attuned to. Each time you summon your eidolon thereafter, it is restored to maximum hit points.

Once you summon your eidolon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Starting at 2nd level, you can spend 2 sorcery points to summon your eidolon even if you haven't regained use of this feature yet.

### Eidolon Evolution
At 6th level, your eidolon grows more powerful. All attacks listed in the eidolon's stat block deal an additional die of damage (for example, the celestial eidolon's radiant slam now deals 2d6 damage). In addition, your eidolon gains one of the following benefits:

- The eidolon gains a flying speed equal to its walking speed.
- The eidolon learns one cantrip from the cleric or druid spell lists. When casting this cantrip, it uses your spell attack bonus and spell save DC.
- Your eidolon gains a swimming speed equal to its walking speed, and can breathe underwater indefinitely.
- The eidolon grows to large size if it is medium, or to medium size if it is small. It can carry a rider of up to one size category smaller than it. In addition, the eidolon's walking speed increases by 20 feet.

### Life Link
By 14th level, you and your eidolon have grown more capable of protecting each other. All attacks listed in the eidolon's stat block deal an additional die of damage (for a total of 2 additional damage die).

In addition, when you or your eidolon takes damage from an attack or spell, you can use your reaction to distribute the damage taken freely between you and your eidolon. Both you and your eidolon must take at least 1 damage. Apply any damage resistances or vulnerabilities you may possess after you distribute the damage.

If your eidolon isn't currently summoned, this ability instead invokes a ghostly image of your eidolon for a split second, halving the damage you take from the attack or spell.

Once you use this ability, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest unless you spend 3 sorcery points to use it again.

### Everlasting Bond
When you reach 18th level, your bond with your eidolon defies the planar boundaries separating you, granting you the following benefits: 
- When you summon your eidolon, it stays with you until you dismiss it as an action, it is reduced to 0 hit points, or you die.
- If you are killed while your eidolon is currently summoned, it can grant you a fraction of its life force to save you. You immediately return to life with half your hit points and rise to your feet, while your eidolon vanishes. After you are revived in this way, you cannot summon your eidolon for 1d4 days.

> While celestial, fey and fiend eidolons are the most common types of eidolon, there are many more types of creatures your sorcerer could be linked to. Your eidolon could be a creature from the shadowfell, or perhaps the ghost of a passed family member. You are encouraged to use these stat blocks as examples and invent your own types of eidolon!
