Synthesist summoner ritual and baleful polymorph question


Rules Questions


An interesting situation came up my last session. My Synthesist Summoner was the recipient of Baleful Polymorph. Failed the Fort save and changed into a rabbit. Made the Will save to retain own mind.

The Eidolon was out. So both me and eidolon are subject to the spell. Who changes into the rabbit? me, eidolon or both.

If Eidolon is dismissed and the recalled with ritual would he still be a rabbit or as in description how I want him to appear?

A very vague point: The 1 minute ritual to summon the Eidolon. What is entailed in that? The books only mention a ritual. Is this only meditation, or do you need speech and/or somatic parts as well?

Scarab Sages

The spell remains in effect when your eidolon is dismissed and continues to affect the synthesist when the eidolon is resummoned.

They are a single entity. Alls affect both merged and unmerged forms, for better or worse.

The nature of the summoning ritual is too vague to make a ruling under RAW. The GM will have to rule on what the requirements are. Personally I would not allow it.
