Psicrystals and gaining feats

[j_spencer93]

Why do people say they can get feats? I am not disputing this I just don't understand. And if they can, can item familiars?

A psicrystal’s characteristics depend on its master. Its Hit Dice are equal to its master’s Hit Dice (counting only levels in psion or wilder), its hit points are equal to half its master’s, and its saving throw bonuses are the same as its master’s.

Since it actually gains hit dice (unlike familiars), it gains everything that hit dice normally grant. Which includes feats.

Item familiars are intelligent magic items - they don't have hit dice at all.

Ah ok thank you. I missed that part.
