Considering the original thread gave different ratings based on the reading of the psicrystal advancement and still never gave an LA above +0, I see no reason that competitors should not be allowed the most permissive reading: A sentient psicrystal is its own master and advances with its own level in psionic classes.

Well, check, but almost all powers and other skills were forgotten or lost while transferring. Only the nucleus of the personality remains.
It's a good psicrystal have no endocrine glands and a living brain. I can at least think about all this happening without panic and hysteria. In the face of overwhelming odds, I'm left with only one option, I'm gonna have to psionics the **** out of this.

{B} - it's "free" skill ranks.
A psicrystal has the same skill ranks as its owner, except that it has a minimum of 4 ranks each in Spot, Listen, Move Silently, and Search. (Even if its owner has no ranks in these skills, a psicrystal has 4 ranks in each.) A psicrystal uses its own ability modifiers on skill checks.
