I'm currently modifying my character sheet to remove powers you know (yes, entangling ectoplasm is back).
Cool. Just be careful. It will take 2-3 rounds to manifest something from my powers-known, I think. So don't dump anything you think you'll regularly want to manifest quickly.

Hey, does Feat Leech let me steal your psicrystal? :D (It could be useful when buffing)
Uhh... that would be weird. We'll see what Strat says about that.

Also, it might be a good idea for Thraxis to learn some form of sign language...
Hmm... we're going to use hand signals or something? Not a bad idea...

My psicrystal will get telepathic speech in one level, though. I'm not sure if Strat will consider it to be heard by everyone within range by default, or if the psicrystal can be selective about who hears it. If it's the latter, we could use that for secret communications.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

Weirder than your psicrystal permanently disintegrating and another one forming next to me for 4 minutes?

I was thinking of sense link (sight). If you need to send a message, look at your hands. Who needs missive? :D
My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

No. Not weirder than that. :P

That's interesting. The duration is Concentration, though. And it's not like my guy is much of a scout, either.

I was thinking that Synthesthete might be useful to give the psicrystal real vision, instead of telekinetic/telepathic vision that only reaches 40 feet. I think within 40 feet, it would get the +4 bonus to Spot and Search while that is active, also, since it has its "normal" vision and also the ability to "feel light". Psicrystals make decent scouts, but their 40 foot visual range is a big limitation in alot of situations. (Edit: I guess it's not entirely clear how this would work, either. I figured it would give him "normal" vision instead of the telepathic vision he normally has, but maybe instead this power would emulate his "normal" vision.

If Sense Link wasn't mind affecting, that would be a handy way to keep up with the little guy while he's scouting (but it is... :( ). Of course, the master can telepathically communicate with the psicrystal, so it's not necessary at all. It would just be nice to actually see what he's seeing, and give him a second Spot check, etc.


Also, Psionic Identify takes freakin' forever to manifest (1 day). You might consider buying an Artificer's Monocle instead, assuming Detect Psionics will work to activate it. I think it should under the default Psi-Magic transparency. I thought of doing that with the Duskblade, but figured I'd get one later, as I guessed combat-oriented items would be more useful in the short term. Maybe that wasn't a good assumption, though. And maybe the 1 day manifesting time won't be a big deal, either. :shrug:
