PSIGEM (WiP)
(A work in progress. To some, I am sure the inspiration is obvious. I just wanted to get this out there and I'll polish it up later, both for balancing the race a bit, and adding both fluff and crunch.)
PSIGEM RACIAL TRAITS
Construct: Psigems are Constructs.
Medium: Psigems are Medium creatures and have no or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Psigems have a base speed of 30 feet.
Low-Light Vision: Psigems can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Darkvision: Psigems can see in the dark out to 60 feet.
Psicrystal Personality: Psigems, given their psicrystal origins, possess benefits based upon their personality. A psigem chooses a personality available for psicrystals at first level and gains the benefits of this personality.
Psicrystal Construct: Psigems are in essence an astral construct manifested around a unique psicrystal. As a result, when a psigem is reduced to 0 hit points, they leave behind an inanimate diminutive crystal, incapable of taking actions. So long as the crystal remain intact and they remain in this state, they regain health at the same rate as a humanoid creature can by rest. Upon achieving at least 50% of their maximum health, they may use a full-round action to reform. Until they reform, they are incapable of any other action. Unlike most constructs, a psigem does not gain bonus hit points based upon size.
Naturally Psionic: Psigems gain the Wild Talent feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. If a psigem takes levels in a psionic class, she instead gains the Psionic Talent feat.
Languages: Psigems begin play speaking Aklo and Common. Psigems with high intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages, such as druidic).
