Playing the synthesist summoner

[Amazonnia]

So i have decided to follow some of your advice about playing a summoner syn.. Rolling in front of the dm 4d20 drop lowest... I was very very lucky with my rolls, as a matter of fact, in 30 years of playing d&d, i have never rolled stats for a character as high.

Str 10
Dex 15
Con 16
Int 15
Wis 15
Cha 17

To play this character right and not having players or gm asking questions and me not knowing it all. How does the summoning of the eidolon work? Is that an ability? Or is it always active until it drops to zero?

Also, the summon monters, i believe i can do it 5 times a day. I just summon any lvl 1 creature and get to control it.

I remember reading somewhere about a good feat to take called weapon focus natural weapon.. May i ask why should i use that?

To conclude my post, if someone can give me an about "what to do when playing this class" just to make me understand better.

Regards to all and thank you

I would suggest starting by reading the Summoner page, the Eidolon entry and the Synthesist page on d20pfsrd.com to begin.

Then, ask any specific questions with concepts that you're having trouble with. But right now, if you're asking about how summoning the eidolon works, you'd be better off reading the rules about the class/archetype.

I have read most, as english is not my first language, i am trying to understand if i understood it right. This is why i was asking the questions

Your paragraph. Yes, its an ability. Once summoned its there until health drops to 0. You can only summon monsters when your eidolon isn't around. So it will be largely unused. Weapon focus will help you hit what you are trying to hit. To play the class basically you summon eidolon, pounce full attack andkill stuff. Choose spells to make your ac or damage higher. Choose evolutions that give you more attacks

Korthis... Thank you for that info.
