Hello, I'm in need of advices regarding good psicrystal's feats. I've read a bit (Mount Handbook, searches here and google, etc) and I'm still puzzled.

Ideally, it'll have Mindsight at 6th and Psionic Meditation at 15th... I'm at a loss if choosing Hidden Talent over Wild Talent would do anything, unless that would mean I could up its ML with Practiced Manifester which I doubt it actually does because of its wording... If it does work though, Metamorphic Transfer would become an auto-take considering my Psion is going the Egoist route.
Any suggestions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. ;)

EDIT: My DM ruled that I couldn't increase my psicrystal's ML via Practiced Manifester, so that cuts the Metamorphic Transfer route.

Don't have a cute picture for him but...

In second edition I played a aesthetic monk trapped in a dog's body. He couldn't talk or anything, but could cast arcane spells from the illusion and alteration schools, had minor healing ability, and a selection of sneaky/scout skills.
Assuming I can get the dog body approved through the DM, how could I best replicate the rest? (Won't have many feats to spare because I'm going VOP. Also would like to have survival on the skill list to take advantage of scent/track.)

Didn't you ask that question already? Anyway probably the a good build would be just a Beguiler(PHB2) with the arcane disciple (CD) feat for the healing abilities. Take surrogate spell casting (Savage Species) for being able to cast as a dog.

Beguiler does look good.  But I'd like to be able to replicate the character's alteration school access too. 

Maybe Mystic Ranger into...something at level 10.

Really no suggestion for Psicrystal feats? I'm totally lost. :s

Hi,

I need a level 4 NPC infiltrator. The guy needs to be able to sneak into places really well, and he needs to be human. All 3.5 non setting-specific books open.

Post a character concept that you had, and the other posters will give you a basic build or two which matches up.
This thread is NOT "I have a build, help me find feats" or anything like that. For that, start a new thread.

Spider Django Heraclitus Jerusalem. What classes, level, ability scores and feats would you give him? And please give a rough estimate of his bowel distruptor.

Hows about the Painkiller?

If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Mmmm... Warforged Dragonborn (Half-man, Half-machine, with silver wings) charger/ubermounter? Barbarian/Paladin of freedom, choosing a dragon cohort as the mount (Rides the Metal Monster, Breathing smoke and fire). And Dragons are fast as hell in D&D.

I hate mouth breathing fuckwits who go around spouting lies, even after being corrected on those lies, and that bait mods into helping to defend their wrongness and fail. I also hate the MBFs that don't understand the meaning of words, and that can't get a fucking clue.
Hey! I like spouting lies. It's very entertaining to observe how people on the internet are buffing their small egos by declaring victories over some stupid MBFs. :smirk
Also - I hate people who use too smart words that I don't understand. :mad

Hi Welcome

Udyr

Wildshape variant ranger or Master of Many forms are decently similar. Or are you lookig for something that can assume hybrid-ish froms rather than the actual animal forms?

I  actually sort of worked this out a while ago. They are really midlevel swordsages focusing on shadowhand and tiger claw disciplines with a single level in rogue for extra sneak attack and skills. The real source of how insanely overpowered they seem in that game is that all of their enemies are 1-3 level warriors. Also they have tones of mundane equipment and some minor magical equipment.

It is really more detect plot, although detect evil would work.
