Ok so I would really like to join in on Pathfinder Society after talking to my friends for a bit. I've played a good deal of 3.5 and enough of pathfinder to know a bit about summoner. I would like to go for the archetype, Synthesist. I had a idea for what I wanted to do, but I'm unsure how a few things would work.
First off, is a Synthesist legal for Pathfinder Society? I read in the rules that only 1 archetype is banned from ultimate magic, brood master.
Second, how would it work for it/me to wield weapons? Proficiencies, bonuses, multiple attacks, all that good stuff.
Third, anything at a table I should be worried about? I've played before but it was always with a tight knit group of guys and girls, I don't know what to exactly expect from a standardized GM.
Fourth, I'm a number cruncher at heart and even when I try to role play something I always find myself optimizing, I hate it some times, but how much is it frowned upon?
Fifth, how many of the rules books can I assume that the GM has access to? I read that the core rule book and the bestiary are assumed, but any others?
Sixth, I read that you get a chronicle after every session/module, but cannot attain any more on subsequent plays. Lets say for all intensive purposes that I have complete all the modules in all the world with 1 of my characters, can I have another character who runs one of those modules still get rewards or am I SOL?
TL;DR
1: Is Synthesist banned for Society?
2: How do weapon wielding Eidolons work?
3: Stuff to expect at the table.
4: Is optimization frowned at?
5: what rule books do GMs have?
6: can I get rewards on multiple characters on the same module?
Thanks for your time, I know it's a long one.
