Synthesist + magic items?

[Morris Chan]

if i had a +3 cloak of resistance, amulet of natural armor, ring of protection, will those bonuses stack with my stats when I am fused with my edilon?

[Matrixryu]

Yep, they all keep functioning while fused.

"While fused with his eidolon, the synthesist can use all of his own abilities and gear, except for his armor."

But then you are a broken class without much need for magical items - so you could just let the other players keep the loot...
