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 <a href="http://livingpf.wikia.com/wiki/Synthesist" target="_blank">Synthesist</a> 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. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />~~~~~~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.</blockquote>
