When a Synthesist fuses with his/her eidolon and they have superior ability scores (such as Con), is the intent to reduce those scores to the Base for the eidolon (in this case, lowering the summoner's overal HP and reducing the Fort save bonus)?

So I am running a natural attack ranger build with the Shapeshifter archetype and have already taken Form of the Bear. I am about about hit level 8 with said Ranger and am looking at the next form to take. My question concerns the base speed change of the form. If I am reading it correctly, it just changes your character's base speed, meaning buffs to speed still work, such as Boots of Striding and Springing or Haste, correct? Also, will using Form of the Cat with Form of the Bear at level 12 negate the loss in speed? Bonus Question: If using the Synthesis Archetype of the Summoner would Form of the Bear reduce both the Summoner and the Eidolon's base speed to 20? If not, could the summoner use the Eidolon's base speed instead of his own, reduced speed?
So I'm crafting a level 5 ninja as a replacement character in an ongoing game and I'm using the Ninja class. Since I'm giving up trapfinding (and the ability to disarm magic traps) for poison use, I want to dip into Ranger (Trapper) or Sorcerer-Orc Bloodline (Seeker) to pick up the ability again along with the rest of the level one bonuses. Any advice as to which one would give me the most bang for my buck? The ninja will be standard TWF wakazashi build for sneak attacking. |
