Tarharath's psicrystal is a physical manifestation of a fragment of his personality. It looks like a natural crystal, small enough to fit into the palm of his hand.

Combat

The psicrystal fights only as Tarharath directs. Usually it remains in his possession, safely tucked away.

Deliver touch powers: Tarharath's psicrystal can deliver touch powers for him as long as it is in contact with him at the time he manifests the power. He must designate the psicrystal as the "toucher" for the power; the psicrystal can then deliver the touch power just as Tarharath could.

Improved evasion: If the psicrystal is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.

Personality: Bully. The psicrystal grants Tarharath a +3 bonus on Intimidate checks.

Self-propulsion: As a standard action, Tarharath can will his psicrystal to form ectoplasmic limbs that grant it a land speed of 30 feet and a climb speed of 20 feet. The limbs fade into nothingness after one day or (if Tarharath wills) sooner.

Share powers: At Tarharath's option, he can have any power (but not any psi-like ability) he manifests on himself also affect his psicrystal, as long as the psicrystal is within 5 feet of him at the time of manifestation. If the power has a duration other than Instantaneous, it stops affecting the psicrystal if it ever moves more than 5 feet away from Tarharath, and it will not resume affecting the psicrystal thereafter even if it moves back within 5 feet. Tarharath can manifest a power with a Target of "You" on his psicrystal (as a touch range power) rather than on himself. Powers that do not affect the psicrystal's type (construct) cannot be shared with it.

Sighted: A psicrystal can telepathically perceive its environment as well as a creature with normal vision and hearing. Supernatural and mundane darkness and silence do not impair this ability, but it still cannot perceive invisible or ethereal beings. This ability does not perceive anything beyond a range of 40 feet.

Telepathic link: Tarharath has a telepathic link with his psicrystal out to a distance of 1 mile. He cannot see through the psicrystal's senses, but he can communicate with it as though using mindlink. Tarharath has the same connection to an item or place as his psicrystal does.

Telepathic speech: Tarharath's psicrystal can communicate telepathically with any creature that has a language and is within 30 feet of it, as long as the psicrystal is also within 1 mile of Tarharath.

Skills: A psicrystal (with its self-propulsion ability activated) uses its Dexterity modifier instead of its Strength modifier on Climb checks. It has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened.
