Just something i have been working on, tell me what you think!
Crystalline : A race of humans who have been fused with living crystal. Their bodies wile made of crystal are crafted to match their normal human anatomy with only a few exceptions. The towns and cities of crystalline are commonly peaceful places with no crime as the enforcers of the law can literally look into people’s minds to determine their guilt or innocence.
Physical Description: Crystalline appear human with male and female attributes exaggerated. Females are slim slender and graceful wile males are more gruff and sturdy. Individuals who have gained the ability to control the living crystal in their body can sometimes have areas of their bodies replaced by crystal, perhaps the bones of the arm are more pronounced and stick out as a crystal at the shoulder, or a few fingers and entirely crystallized. Certain attributes can even be changed at a crystalline stylists shop for a price, a woman might have golden blond hair one day then a nearly glowing red the next.
While not actually organic but living crystal they act for mechanical purposes as an organic humanoid.
Society: The crystalline have very strict law and any crime cannot be hidden from the advanced crystalline and their ability to read the minds of normal crystalline. While the laws may be near impossible to fight most people agree they are just and properly enforced, the ones who do not agree usually go into exile. With the ability to read each other’s minds corruption is near impossible, unless the highest crystalline in the area is corrupt. The higher crystalline are chosen if they have proved themselves in some way to be trustworthy and skilled, usually threw their mental abilities or proving themselves in combat. Being born from two higher crystalline does not mean you are automatically a higher crystalline. The highest crystalline in an area is the final ruling on what the laws mean as some are admittedly very open to interpretation.
Relations: Their human appearance means a crystalline can blend into societies with little trouble. Higher crystalline have an air of superiority and power that most people can pick up on that makes them feared or respected by people of other races; however fear is more common than respect. People who appreciate the law and abilities of the crystalline tend to enjoy time among them wile people who deal in crime tend to avoid their lands at all costs.
Crystalline can come off as a bit fearless of their own death as they grow older as it is a natural part of life for them to accept death in the end, however they are often overprotective of children, fearing they might not have a chance to live their full life. Both of these beliefs come from the prime crystal lords teachings.
Alignment and Religion: The law among the crystalline tends to make evil acts an impossibility, crystalline that use their powers for evil are constantly on the run from their own kind. Most crystalline are either good, lawful, or neutral, being evil or chaotic tends to be more trouble than it is worth.
There is no established religion among the crystalline; people may follow any god or gods they wish. A large group of people do worship the prime crystal lord, though he does not encourage this as he is not a god.
Adventures: A crystalline may find the life of an adventurer as exciting ways to better themselves and their people. Running into a crystalline on the road or far from their homes is rare, but not impossible.
Age: Crystalline grow like a human up to age 20, at that point they are considered adults and stop ageing, they do not suffer the negative effects of ageing until they decide their time among the living is complete, usually around 100 years and with their significant other. While there is no law limiting the age of people it is looked down on to choose to outlive your family.
Height/Weight: a average male is between 5.8 and 6.4 while a female is between 5.2 and 5.10. Males tend to weigh significantly more than a female between 180 and 250 while a female usually weighs half that.

Each pound of food eaten heals 1hp, to a maximum of 2 health/level per day. A crystalline maximum weight increases by his hp total and decreases when he takes damage. Feeding takes a full round action for each 1 pound eaten.

Class Features
The following are class features for the Crystal Lord.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A Crystal Lord is proficient with light armor and simple weapons.
Energy: The crystalline body holds energy in it that moves the body and sustains its mind, and he can harness this energy to modify his body and mind. A crystalline can hold energy equal to twice its level plus wisdom modifier. Any time you gain HP from a magical source you gain 1 energy for each dice rolled, or just one for the entire spell if no dice are rolled.
Inhuman Resistance: As a crystal lord learns to control the crystal of their body they learn to remove the weaknesses of flesh and bone. At level 3 a Crystal Lord can stop sickened effects as a standard action. At level 8 they are immune to the sickened condition and can end a bleed effect as a standard action. At level 13 they gain immunity to bleed effects and can end a pain effect as a standard action. At level 18 they gain immunity to pain effects.
Feed Advanced: You may use feed to gain energy instead of HP, this does not count against your daily uses but takes twice as long to do. At level 5 your daily uses of feed become 4/day instead of 2/day. At level 8 you gain hp or energy(times 1/2 rounded down) equal to your wisdom instead of 1 when feeding. At level 12 you may eat as a standard action instead of a full round action. At level 20 there is no limit to the number of times you can use feed.
Schools: Crystal Lords learn to control different schools of their abilities. Each school gives access to completely new abilities that greatly shape how the Crystal Lord will fight and live. At level 1, 6, 11, 16, and 20 a Crystal Lord chooses a school to learn.
Body Crafting: Crystal lords can learn to alter their body to match what they need at the time. This functions as the Customization ability of the aegis. To gain a customization point a crystal lord must pay one energy point, these points can not be replaced as long as the crystal lord has the customization active. You may gain and lose customizations as a full round action. At level 7 you may gain and lose customizations as a standard action. At level 15 you may gain or lose up to your wisdom modifier in customizations as a full round action. The normal level restrictions for a customization apply to your crystal lord level.
Additionally you gain a few customizations specific to the crystal lord:
1point:
Compression: you shrink by 1 size category. You gain a +2 size bonus to Dexterity, a –2 size penalty to Strength (to a minimum of 1), a +1 size bonus on attack rolls and AC due to your reduced size. Lvl 6 limit. Can not be used with other size changing effects.
Improved natural weapon: choose a natural weapon type you have, you treat attacks from that natural weapon as 1 size larger. You may choose this customization once at level 5 and an additional time each 5 levels after that.
2point:
Super Compression: you change your size to very small You gain a +4 size bonus to Dexterity, a –4 size penalty to Strength (to a minimum effective Strength score of 1), a +2 size bonus on attack rolls, and a +2 size bonus to Armor Class due to your reduced size. Lvl 12 limit and must already have the compression costomization. Can not be used with any other size changing effect.
Natural weapons: You gain your choice of any primary natural weapon, or any 2 secondary natural weapons. Claw attacks count as primary but you gain 2 of them. Tail slap counts as a secondary but you only gain 1 attack, and a +4 bonus to acrobatics.
Knowledgeable: gain a +2 bonus to intelligence, this works like the other customizations that increase statistics.
Cleverness: gain a +2 bonus to wisdom, this works like the other customizations that increase statistics.
Emotion Reader: gain a +2 bonus to charisma, this works like the other customizations that increase statistics.
Craft item: By using some of the crystal in your body you may craft some simple objects for use. All objects created this way are made of solid crystal and gain the fragile quality but are actual items and are not effected by non-magic zones. Complex items like a crossbow or items requiring specific items like explosives or chemicals can not be created with this ability. Creating an item takes 1 minute. At level 11 you instead make an item in 1 full round. At level 20 you may make items as a swift action. Items created require an amount of HP equal to its weight. This HP loss can be replaced by feeding and does not count against your normal limit of HP gained per day.
Craft minion: You may make smaller minions to serve you. This ability functions like casting astral construct however it appears within 5ft of you, costs energy equal to the pp cost, and 5 hp for each point of energy used, has a duration of 1minute/level, and takes 1 minute to craft. The crafting time becomes 1 full round action at level 11. You may gain this HP back in the same way as done with craft item. By paying 2 more energy the duration of a construct is 1hour/level, you do not have to pay extra hp for this augmentation. You cannot regain lost energy used to make a minion if they are still alive. You may not make a minion of a higher level than yourself. Certain customizations for a minion cannot be chosen: Swim, fly, energy touch, smite, concussion, dimensional slide, energy bolt. Additionally swim and fly replace improved swim and improved fly.
Storage Crystal: You learn to create storage crystals, masses of crystal that can be used for feeding very quickly. You may pay any amount of hp when making a storage crystal, and gain this hp back as the craft item ability. And remove or add up to your level in hp as a standard action to the storage crystal. You may also remove 2 hp from a crystal to gain 1 energy at a rate equal to 1/2 your level(rounded down) per standard action. The crystal has a weight equal to the hp inside. The size changes to match its weight, diminutive if 20 or less, tiny if 50 or less, small if 100 or less, medium if 200 or less. You may only have 1 storage crystal at a time.
Crystal Casting: There are some psionic spells that you can mimic with your crystal minipulation. They use as much energy as is listed and can only target you, a crystalline you touch, a crystal minion you touch, or an object made of crystal you touch. Enemies get saves as usual. Augmentation costs are payed with energy equal to the listed amount of power points that would be used. These abilities are not magical divine or psionic in nature. Hp lost casting an ability can be regained like craft item. Any ability that mentions power points should instead refer to energy. Your caster level is equal to your crystal lord level.

Class Features
The following are class features for the Crystal Lord.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A Crystal Lord is proficient with light armor and simple weapons.
Energy: The crystalline body holds energy in it that moves the body and sustains its mind, and he can harness this energy to modify his body and mind. A crystalline can hold energy equal to twice its level plus wisdom modifier. Any time you gain HP from a magical source you gain 1 energy for each dice rolled, or just one for the entire spell if no dice are rolled.
Inhuman Resistance: As a crystal lord learns to control the crystal of their body they learn to remove the weaknesses of flesh and bone. At level 3 a Crystal Lord can stop sickened effects as a standard action. At level 8 they are immune to the sickened condition and can end a bleed effect as a standard action. At level 13 they gain immunity to bleed effects and can end a pain effect as a standard action. At level 18 they gain immunity to pain effects.
Feed Advanced: You may use feed to gain energy instead of HP, this does not count against your daily uses but takes twice as long to do. At level 5 your daily uses of feed become 4/day instead of 2/day. At level 8 you gain hp or energy(times 1/2 rounded down) equal to your wisdom instead of 1 when feeding. At level 12 you may eat as a standard action instead of a full round action. At level 20 there is no limit to the number of times you can use feed.
Schools: Crystal Lords learn to control different schools of their abilities. Each school gives access to completely new abilities that greatly shape how the Crystal Lord will fight and live. At level 1, 6, 11, 16, and 20 a Crystal Lord chooses a school to learn.
Body Crafting: Crystal lords can learn to alter their body to match what they need at the time. This functions as the Customization ability of the aegis. To gain a customization point a crystal lord must pay one energy point, these points can not be replaced as long as the crystal lord has the customization active. You may gain and lose customizations as a full round action. At level 7 you may gain and lose customizations as a standard action. At level 15 you may gain or lose up to your wisdom modifier in customizations as a full round action. The normal level restrictions for a customization apply to your crystal lord level.
Additionally you gain a few customizations specific to the crystal lord:
1point:
Compression: you shrink by 1 size category. You gain a +2 size bonus to Dexterity, a –2 size penalty to Strength (to a minimum of 1), a +1 size bonus on attack rolls and AC due to your reduced size. Lvl 6 limit. Can not be used with other size changing effects.
Improved natural weapon: choose a natural weapon type you have, you treat attacks from that natural weapon as 1 size larger. You may choose this customization once at level 5 and an additional time each 5 levels after that.
2point:
Super Compression: you change your size to very small You gain a +4 size bonus to Dexterity, a –4 size penalty to Strength (to a minimum effective Strength score of 1), a +2 size bonus on attack rolls, and a +2 size bonus to Armor Class due to your reduced size. Lvl 12 limit and must already have the compression costomization. Can not be used with any other size changing effect.
Natural weapons: You gain your choice of any primary natural weapon, or any 2 secondary natural weapons. Claw attacks count as primary but you gain 2 of them. Tail slap counts as a secondary but you only gain 1 attack, and a +4 bonus to acrobatics.
Knowledgeable: gain a +2 bonus to intelligence, this works like the other customizations that increase statistics.
Cleverness: gain a +2 bonus to wisdom, this works like the other customizations that increase statistics.
Emotion Reader: gain a +2 bonus to charisma, this works like the other customizations that increase statistics.
Craft item: By using some of the crystal in your body you may craft some simple objects for use. All objects created this way are made of solid crystal and gain the fragile quality but are actual items and are not effected by non-magic zones. Complex items like a crossbow or items requiring specific items like explosives or chemicals can not be created with this ability. Creating an item takes 1 minute. At level 11 you instead make an item in 1 full round. At level 20 you may make items as a swift action. Items created require an amount of HP equal to its weight. This HP loss can be replaced by feeding and does not count against your normal limit of HP gained per day.
Craft minion: You may make smaller minions to serve you. This ability functions like casting astral construct however it appears within 5ft of you, costs energy equal to the pp cost, and 5 hp for each point of energy used, has a duration of 1minute/level, and takes 1 minute to craft. The crafting time becomes 1 full round action at level 11. You may gain this HP back in the same way as done with craft item. By paying 2 more energy the duration of a construct is 1hour/level, you do not have to pay extra hp for this augmentation. You cannot regain lost energy used to make a minion if they are still alive. You may not make a minion of a higher level than yourself. Certain customizations for a minion cannot be chosen: Swim, fly, energy touch, smite, concussion, dimensional slide, energy bolt. Additionally swim and fly replace improved swim and improved fly.
Storage Crystal: You learn to create storage crystals, masses of crystal that can be used for feeding very quickly. You may pay any amount of hp when making a storage crystal, and gain this hp back as the craft item ability. And remove or add up to your level in hp as a standard action to the storage crystal. You may also remove 2 hp from a crystal to gain 1 energy at a rate equal to 1/2 your level(rounded down) per standard action. The crystal has a weight equal to the hp inside. The size changes to match its weight, diminutive if 20 or less, tiny if 50 or less, small if 100 or less, medium if 200 or less. You may only have 1 storage crystal at a time.
Crystal Casting: There are some psionic spells that you can mimic with your crystal minipulation. They use as much energy as is listed and can only target you, a crystalline you touch, a crystal minion you touch, or an object made of crystal you touch. Enemies get saves as usual. Augmentation costs are payed with energy equal to the listed amount of power points that would be used. These abilities are not magical divine or psionic in nature. Hp lost casting an ability can be regained like craft item. Any ability that mentions power points should instead refer to energy. Your caster level is equal to your crystal lord level.
