Synthesist with Oracle Dip


Rules Questions


Does a synthesist use its own speed, or the eidolon form speed for its movement rate? For example hafling (spd 20) with quadraped eidolon (spd 40). What about a human (spd 30) with a serpentine eidolon (spd 20).

If he takes a level dip in oracle with the lame curse does he still take the movement penalty while fused?

I *believe* he would use the eidolons base speed when fused but would take the penalty for lame curse against the eidolons speed. But... I'm not certain there isn't some aspect I've overlooked on this.

I would agree with your belief. The ability to mitigate the speed reduction is specifically limited to very powerful magic.

Mitigate does not = remove, which is what the ability is describing. I guess Expeditious Retreat doesnt work either then?
