Like most people on these boards, I really like the synthesist fluff. Saddly, UM didn't provided us with a piece of art to represent this awesome archetype, so I was wondering if some of you have portrayed their synthesist(s). I think that the whole ''translucent eidolon around you'' part is very flavorful and I would like to see it on paper. Did any geek with an artist's soul (or artist with a geek's soul) has given it a shot? :)
Maybe ask the "Draw my character?" thread?
Most ignore the translucent energy being around you aspect as unappealing any way.
I imagine the Master Chief.
I don't care if it's accurate or not. My Eidolon is named Cortana and I use a repeating crossbow.

Well it doesn't HAVE to be translucent if you don't like it. When I read the archetype for the first time, my first thought was: hey, this remind me of Final Fantasy X-2 summons, which means I can now summon a mega-giga warmech around myself if I want to! :)
My group mocks my synthesist. He is a frail old man, bolstered by the image of a shining angelic knight. Subsequently they call him Iron Man.
I agree, Carbon! And Maerimydra, I'll do you one better than a drawing! I just posted this thread for the mini I made for my synthesits summoner:
I'm working on a synthesist. Did you watch A Scanner Darkly? Imagine one of those ever-shifting suits, but every part is a different variety of half-dragon. Still somewhat translucent, but still looks like a single entity.
This dawned on me in the gestalt thread: A ninja/synthesist seems much like everyone's favorite anime character:
...scroll down and you'll get the picture. I'm not sure I'll ever think of synthesists the same way again. *le sigh*

Neat pics, but those last two... aren't exactly quadrupeds
My synthesist has summoned his eidolon from the Dark tapestry, and wears it like Dealkyr (from Eberron) symbiont armour....so think witchblade-ish ;)

The trilobite eidolon is awesome lol! :)
I can't wait for my next character... a synethist summoner based on the Guyver series.

Oh??? Which character? A Guyver or a Zoanoid?

Well, seeing how the eidolon's capabilities will advance as the character.... it's only appropriate to model the character after Aptom. :)

Damn, and a one level dip into Synthesist would be amazing for a Ninja too. You'd get pounce, 3 natural attacks plus 1 more 1 cost eidolon evolution, an extra d10 of hit points, decent physical stats. Damn you for making me want to play the orange ninja Xo!

GOOD CHOICE! However that is a rather EVIL way to gain power.
lol those are pretty good magic the gathering cards too.
Personally, In my game, If you took synthesis and not bi-ped.. you are limited to doing what your eidolon could do.
Anything that's your gear, you can use sure. Consumables and the like, but you couldn't wield a weapon unless you have "hands" evolution.
