Mindsight

Holy cow this feat is bent. Since the Mindsight feat you linked requires the Telepathy ability, I'd have to rule it's not something fit for the Psicrystal yet. That being said, when the Psicrystal gets the Telepathic Speech ability in a couple levels, the wording for that is almost identical to Telepathy and would qualify. I really dislike this feat in general, but if you want to pick it up later based upon Telepathic Speech then that makes for a more appropriate timing. -Mattie

Sure. I actually agree 100% as to this reading. It was my feeling, too, as well as a good number of the Usual Suspects. I think I just forgot about that when I was moving the feats around some time ago. Honestly, if I had it to do over again, I would not have bothered with the psycrystal at all. I'm happy to retcon it away, though that ship has probably sailed. absalom 09:18, 4 May 2012 (EDT)
Also, I might be wrong about this when push comes to shove, but I think you'll find the feat is not nearly as disruptive or OP as you are fearing due primarily to the telepathic speech (and therefore the Mindsight) only having a 30' range radius. I think it's also reasonable that spells/powers/items things that cloak a mind from telepathy also cloak a min from Mindsight. That's certainly the take I'm going to be using when it comes up with Kaylee. absalom 13:48, 4 May 2012 (EDT)

Level 13-20 Notes

Respec Option

  • By this point, book might want to pick up the Respec Telepath Power (level 4) and burn the XP to respec as a Cerebremancer, without a stone, and using the spell that converts spell castings into PSPs for some really munchkin-y fun. By then, the stone can be replaced by Clairvoyance, etc.

Abilities/Powers/Feats

  • Overchannel grows to +3 PSP/5d8 Damage @ CL15
      • (CL 15) 5th Level Power: Psionic Teleport or Metamorphic Transfer, whichever not already chosen. [33] OR
      • (CL 18) Select Astral Seed [34] with Feat
        • I know Book's character is all about doing everything well, but Energy Ball [35] or Hail of Crystals[36] are a good options if we're getting hammered for Book's lack of Large Area AoE, since we know Nora can teleport like a champ. Although, the awesomeness of being able to teleport into magically warded and anti-magic areas is kind of awesome.
      • 7th Level Power: Crisis of Life[37], Fission [38]
      • 8th Level Power: True Metabolism [39], Psionic Iron Body[40]
