Synthesist and Summoning their Eidolon


Rules Questions

Okay normally it takes a Summoner 1 minute to summon their eidolon and then at 6th level they get Makers Call which lets them do it as a standard action. My question is does it take 1 minute for a synthesist to summon their eidolon for their entire career since they get a dimension door ability at 6h level that replaces Makers Call and Transposition?
Thanks


Makers Call allows you to move your already summoned pet to you rather than letting you summon it
either can learn the 2rd level spell Summon Eidolon if they want it as a standard action

I concur with meowstef.

You are failing to understand Makers call and Transposition. They are for regular summoners who have an eidolon separate from the summoner. Makers call does not let a summoner call his eidolon from nowhere to his side as a standard action. It brings the eidolon(already summoned) from somewhere else on the battlefield(or whatever map you are using in case you are doing scouting or something like that) to right next to him of the battlefield. Transposition lets you switch places on the map.

The synthesist dimensional door ability works for teleporting around the map. Nothing to do with calling the fused eidolon from nowhere(urn summoned).

So barring the spell meowstef mentioned, yes it takes one minute to summon the fused eidolon the summoners whole career, even if he is 20th level. Maybe one day a new feat, archetype, whatever will present a new option but as of the writing of this post, it is one minute or the spell.


The only way I know of to reduce the summoning time for an Eidolon is the Elf favored class bonus.

Each level you reduce the summon time by 1 round to a minimum of 1 round at 9th level.
