I think, I think a "hard" encounter just ended half way through the first round... I hope not, otherwise I rolled so high the battle didn't have time to get interesting.

*whine* The judge won't let me throw a CR 6 fight at first level newbies. Well, not for the first fight. *evil laughter* So, yeah, the CR 4 party made it half way through the first round.
Great perception rolls, arrow crit, AoO with great axe, barbarian's great axe strike. It went all in your favor. Fight finished. The rest of the party is still flat footed yet.

I have gone through and updated the Adventures page to point at all of the new thread names for the active games. So, from that wiki page, you should be able to get to our main forum list, the DWI, Mystic Pearl and all the active games.
It will take some time for Morrus to recreate all the custom scripting he had on the site. The dice roller seems to be one of the major things missing at the moment. Time to see if I can get my account at Invisible Castle to function correctly.

I noticed the roller at circus maximus is working. I might try and figure out a way to use that for myself.
I forget if this was covered or not: do the bonus to things like str and nat armor from feats and class levels on the Synthesist(summoner) affect the Fused Eidolon? like if the Synthesist had Eldritch Heritage feats and got through wings, would those be usable while fused? I know things gained by race don't generally matter. But I'm wondering that, since its a feat granting it, if it would work with the fusion or be covered up by the fusion?

I can't be certain but I don't believe there is anything in the description of the Sythesist's abilities that forbid you from using Spell-like abilities, or class features gained from another class, nor is their anything specifically forbidding you (I don't think) from using the abilities gained from Feats. But I could be wrong. Last I checked a Fused Eidolon can use all the feats and abilities of the Summoner as well as the Eidolon. Someone correct me if I am wrong on that?

It is all a matter of timing as to if it applies or not AND if it is a skin layer issue or a whole body issue.
* Outer Skin and Muscle issue: The eidolon becomes a fully covering body suit. It engulfs any current limbs/head/wings/claws/natural armor that you currently have and replaces them with the eidolon's version of those items as well as STR, DEX and CON. If you are serpentine, and have not paid evolution points for arms, you don't have arms and casting somatic spells is impossible without the still spell feat.
Resistances I have seen as being a "whole body" coverage and not a skin and muscle coverage. So, they continue acting on the melded creature. Any ability that is a "whole body" issue is useable in both forms. Barbarian speed increase, resistances, channel energy affinity, etc.
a) Things that are 24x7x365 continuous are applied to the summoner. This is why the inherent ability stat bumps at lvl/4 should be placed on only CON or mental stats.
b) Then things that are the eidolon "living armor" suit are applied, like natural armor and extra limbs, etc. This replaces STR, CON, DEX, Armor, Natural Armor, BAB, limbs, and locomotion.
c) Then duration spells are applied. Barkskin, Overland Flight, etc.
d) Then per round natural abilities. Draconic Sorcerer Claws, Draconic Sorcerer Wings, etc.
So:
* No, Dragon Disciple Ability boosts to strength only applies to the summoner, not the eidolon.
* No, Abyssal Sorcerer Strength of the Abyss only applies to the summoner, not the eidolon.
Yes, the use of Eldritch Heritage to get Draconic Sorcerer Claws is valid because the claws grow from the current skin.
Yes, the use of Eldritch Heritage to get Draconic Resistance to an energy type is valid.
* No, the use of Eldritch Heritage to get the +1 Natural Armor from the Draconic Resistance is covered up and negated while in fused form.
Yes, the use of Eldritch Heritage to get Draconic Wings for rounds per day is valid because the wings grow from the current fused body.
In my case, the mermaid loses access to her +2 Natural Armor of the mermaid, swim speed and breathing water when she summons her suit. She spends a point on Gills so the fusion can breath water. An aasimar synthesist keeps his resist 5 acid/cold/electricity. (Cold chills to the bone, not just the surface skin.)
* A stryx synthesist would have to pay for a set of wings with evolution points, or have his wrapped up and bundled under the eidolon skin, making them useless.
* = See Synthesist where most of the FAQ/forum questions have been answered by SKR, which I take as authoritative.
SK, aka me, just the local board authority since I have two synthesists in play.

Tieflings: Fiendish Vessel (Archetype) is banned because it is too evil to deal with. Tieflings don't get the outsider type weapon proficiencies of simple or martial automatically. It has to rely on the classes chosen to provide weapon proficiencies. Other than that, I believe all the bits in the ARG are available for a tiefling character to use.
