How does a Synthesist qualify for Multiweapon Fighting?


Rules Questions


Hello, folks.
I have a doubt: as far as I know, Synthesist Summoners can't use the eidolon's ability scores to qualify for feats because they are not on 24/7. OK.
However, I've seen plenty of Synthesist Shiva builds running around for Multiweapon Fighting. How does the Synthesist qualify for that feat, since it only has 2 arms? I mean, if the Synthesist can indeed get Multiweapon Fighting, it should be able to use the eidolon's ability scores to fulfill requirementes.


it is dex 13+ and 3 or more hands. With that said I would speak with your DM


A Synthesist Summoner CAN use his Eidolon's ability scores and whatever else abilities he has when fused to qualify for feats.

You can. A synthesist can maintain his eidolon form for over 24 hours... he just doesn't get any sleep during that time :). Also when your stats revert you no longer have access to those feats.

The eidolon's ability score is never classified as a temporary enhancement bonus, unlike certain magic items.

Since the bonus is never classified as temporary, it allows the synthesist to qualify for feats.

Even if you did rule it as temporary, he would qualify for feats after remaining awake for 24 hours (1 night). Take the feat then. The feat will be unavailable while your are not fused and becomes available as soon as your fuse again.

P.S. 1 rune of power for lesser restore eidolon and a synthesist can go without sleep indefinitely, at least until he needs to refresh spells.
