Handbook of the Synthesist
 |
Originally conceived when one of my players asked me if you could base a Summoner around the Meld into Eidolon feat¸ this Synthesist lets you be one with your eidolon in and out of battle. This subclass comes in the form of ten Summoner feats which can serve to accomplish anything from adding a splash of diversity to your Summoner to revolutionizing the playstyle while keeping staples like Act Together and other Tandem actions relevant. The synthesis form offers its own advantages and downsides¸ making it an interesting option which upholds the high standard of balance set by Paizo's tight designs.
Contained within are:
- the Synthetic Manifestation feat (visible fully in the PDF preview)¸ coming in at over a page of core rules edited Aly "Scrip” Chen to both offer a sure foundation for your play as well as support in adjudicating edge cases
- nine supporting feats¸including support for Trick Magic Item builds¸ switching from synthesis form to two separate battle forms in style¸ casting spells through your eidolon and putting caster-only effects on your eidolon¸ teleport-splitting from your eidolon¸ a developed synthesis form which keeps your ancestral features¸ and a capstone to let your eidolon dance in and out of reality at a whim¸ and more! Some of these options even work in and out of synthesis form¸ supporting both a varied playstyle and sneakier summoners just here for some extra feat options.
- rules guidance for the adventurous who want to customize their eidolon and synthesis form beyond the bounds of the Summoner class.
- Paizo-quality formatted PDF¸ print-friendly versions with and without pictures
