[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 6164172, member: 6666968"] Reviewing Emily: a) I changed a few instances of Magical Beast to Eidolon. The Magical Beast has a specific game context that differs from what is going on. b) I swapped Ability for STR in a couple places. It is the clearest usage. c) I marked both traits as being from our custom Capable category so the next person doesn't go looking for a source for them. d) Escape Artist was missing. I added it. e) I added in the free evolutions that she gets. Now, on to advice. 1) Light. Both versions of you see in the dark. Do you need to take this cantrip? If you have humans in your party, they should be carrying their own torches or other light source. So, you do not need to repetitively cast that spell. You have many others to choose from. LPF also has a list of Alternative cantrips that you can choose from as well. Umbrella, Jolt and Breeze are nice from that list. Oh, I read the fluff. Well, this[I][B] is[/B][/I] the advice part. :blush: 2) Grab a weapon or two. A crossbow is a good weapon with a decent range, and it ignores STR modifiers. Why? You can only have one SLA summons going at a time. If that summoned creature lasts 3 rounds, what are you going to do to contribute the other two rounds. If you are in fused form, sometimes you can only attack from range. That is one of the Achilles Heals of a synthesist. A spear is also a good generic weapon. Claw/Claw/Bite sounds good until you are fighting a ghast, or a slime mold. 3) Find a pretty picture and add it. Actually find more than one. We would also like a pic of the fused form. 4) Go shopping. Do I actually have to tell a girl that? :p LPF has a 100% sell back value policy. It just makes accounting easier. So, you can sell back any item you bought and didn't use in your adventure. So, a general rule we tell people is to spend all but about the last 10 gp. 5) The DR 1/evil doesn't bother me a bit as a GM, because even a kobold bypasses it. (I think he does, and it doesn't require outsider evil) It's effectiveness is not that great, because you will be fighting evil 75% of the time. It's still worth taking for the first level where you get double effectiveness compared to the rest of the levels it is available to you. A synthesist has HPs to spare. So, if you are going to change your mind, a skill point is probably best. Those are in short supply for you. Most people don't like to multi-class. But, if and only if you are interested, a single level dip in cleric would be good. It would require shifting around the stats a little bit. But having a daily battery of 8d6 healing in channels along with a few CLW spells will go along way in keeping a party healthy.
