I have a few questions about when fused with eidolon.

First - once the shape the eidolon is selected is exactly the same each time. I have a player using it as a disguise.

Second - being fused with eidolon doesnt this affect skills like diplomacy? the player is interacting with everyone in the fused form. (would think that this would be distracting and annoying)

Also, how will normal people deal with them....I mean it does look very "monster like"

Third - Can items including armour be sundered and or slight of handed away when in eidolon form?

Forth - does enforcer, blade of mercy and the intimidate ability all stack? I have monsters more afraid of betting hit for non-lethal and running into attacks of oppourtunity - also they took a level of rogue and are sayign they get sneak attack damage for all attacks because of the blade of mercy supersedes the requirement the a weapon can only be used for non-lethal sneak attack damage if it doesnt deal with lethal damage.

Lastly - Armour - I know in the errata that the Synthesist armour doesnt count when fused, but what about the armour check penalty? Also I keep getting asked why the AC doesn't count since armour counts for flatfooted. I'm having difficulty explaining the rule. Is there something that explains the mechanics behind why it doesnt count?

I'm rather new to the Synthesist and I'm worried this is going to tear apart our gaming group. the players are all arguing about it...it's not resolving itself on its own....

HELP!
