Hmmm... a few observations: You CAN take feats that rely on your eidolon's str and dex - f.ex. Power Attack when you have str 18. But you'll only be able to use said feats when the eidolon is summoned.
Remember that you cannot summon monsters (with your spell like ability), as long as the eidolon is also present. You can summon them via spells though.
Look into the feat "Superior Summonings" - it makes you summon 1 additional monster when you use a spell that already summons more than 1 monster.

Summoner’s Call
You have the power to call your eidolon one additional time per day.
Prerequisite: Eidolon class feature.
Benefit: Whenever you summon your eidolon, it is more powerful for a brief period of time. You may give it a +2 enhancement bonus to its Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. This bonus lasts 10 minutes after the summoning ritual is complete.

WORST FEAT EVER!!!
i thought this was a spell.......WORST FEAT EVER!!!Summoner’s Call

If only....
actually you cant take power attack if your character dosent have the prereqs for it. so since my character doesnt have 13 str but in eidolon form i have 18 does not mean i can take the feat. if i had 13 str then i would be able to summon it.
This has been discussed here on the boards numerous times, and I think 99 % of the discussions agree that you CAN take the feat - because you can have your eidolon summoned more than 24 hours (and it therefore constitutes a "permanent bonus") - and therefore you can take the feat. But you vannot use the feat when your eidolon is unsummoned. I don't think there is definite answer from a developer though - so you might want to check with your GM first.
It is amongst other things discussed in the (very big) synthesist thread; here.
No direct answer - but both Jason Buhlman and Sean K Reynolds seem to think that you should be able to select said feats - but only use them, when the eidolon is present.
Ok, if you're taking Skill Focus anyway, I see literally no reason to NOT be a Half-Elf. Compared to Human, you lose 1 skill point per level and gain...
- The favored class option of +1/4 evolution points. 1 point is worth a feat (Extra Evolution), so you're basically getting a bonus feat every 4 levels.
- Immunity to magical sleep and +2 saves vs. enchantment. If you go unconscious, even just briefly, Eidolon suit goes poof (there is a feat to mitigate this, though).
- A +2 to perception, though sadly it would overlap w/ the skilled evolution
- Low-light vision
Seems like a good trade to me...

Actually, Racial bonuses (which includes the Skilled evolution) are one of the only types that stack, so you would still get it.
Racial boni stack in PF? I'm almost certain that wasn't the case in 3E. Does it say as much anywhere?
If it DOES stack, then Half-Elf is better still for uber perception, cause Skilled (Perception) is definitely a great evolution to get regardless.

THIS IS TRUE... but my character back story and rp wise the human was the best choice. can't always powergame for the best. although if some one cast sleep on you they cant direct it at the eidolon or at me therefore the eidolon would go to sleep and i would be in a motionless form? so the eidolon form wouldn't go away. at least that is how i percieve it.Ok, if you're taking Skill Focus anyway, I see literally no reason to NOT be a Half-Elf.

For a synthesist there is no distinction between you and eidolon.. If it is asleep, you are asleep. If you are asleep, it goes away.

What feat is this? Can you link to it or cite page number and book? I could be very interersted in such a feat :)
Half elf racial trait dude. Its okay go get some coffee.
If you look at the last part of the text I quoted StreamOfTheSky wrote this:

...and that is what I'm asking about.
And I'm having coffee right now btw - and it's delicious! :)
Half-Elf makes the feat far less necessary. But there is a feat to help.

No, you still don't get to sleep all night in your bio suit. But, it'll protect you from losing your eidolon over a temporary inconvenience. Like being killed and legally dead for less than 6 seconds before the cleric gets a Breath of Life to you. A trifling concern, really. Why should your eidolon have to go poof just cause your heart stopped beating?
Cool. I'll have to remember that :) Right now my synthesist/monk is more monk than synthesist but that'll change later - and then this feat could be handy indeed!

Mind if I have some evidently I need it.
