Here is a little prc that I have been working on. It could use a few more of the extra personality fragments but otherwise it is currently pretty well fleshed out.
thoughts? break points? If there is a break point I would appreciate something more concrete than 'I think there might be a problem somewhere in there somewhere'
[sblock=Shattered Mind]Shattered Mind
Hit Die: d6
Background: Shattered Minds are psionic characters who have splintered their minds into so many pieces for their psicrystal that they have lost something significant of themselves in the process. The character can no longer function with the personality types that the psicrystal holds while it is out of range and he will often be found discussing his thoughts with the psicrystal without even realizing that others are able to hear. This strange foundation comes with a few advantages and disadvantages, but as he progresses in this class he becomes more like a psicrystal himself than whatever he was before.
Requirements
To qualify to become a Shattered Mind, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.
Skills: Autohypnosis 4 ranks, Concentration 8 ranks, Craft 8 ranks, Knowledge (psionics) 8 ranks.
Feats: Psicrystal affinity, Improved Psicrystalx3
Class Skills
The shattered mind’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Autohypnosis (Wis), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Hide (Dex), Knowledge (psionics), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Psicraft (Int), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), and Use Psionic Device (Cha).
Skill Points at Each Level: 6 + Int modifier.
Class Features
All the following are class features of the shattered mind prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Shattered Mind's gain no new proficiencies.
Powers Known: At every level indicated on the table, the character gains additional power points per day and access to new powers as if she had also gained a level in whatever manifesting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus feats, metapsionic or item creation feats, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the level of shattered mind to the level of whatever manifesting class the character has, then determines power points per day, powers known, and manifester level accordingly.
If a character had more than one manifesting class before she became an shattered mind, she must decide to which class she adds the new level of shattered mind for the purpose of determining power points per day, powers known, and manifester level.
Affinity: Each time the shattered mind gains this ability he gains Improved Psicrystal as a bonus feat.
Fragmented Mind: Your mind has been shattered by splitting it so many times you have lost some of yourself to your psicrystal. Whenever your psicrystal is out of range you no longer have access to the personality types that it possesses (ie if your psicrystal has hero as a personality splinter then you cannot make any heroic decisions while it is out of range). Your mind is also much harder to influence in this state however. Against any Will saving through or ability which tries to confuse your mind you gain a saving throw bonus equal to half the number of personality fragments you have given to your psicrystal(s) (rounded down). This bonus works while your psicrystal is within 1mile.
Extra Fragments: You gain the ability to choose from either the normal list of fragments or these fragments.
Fragmented Responses: Your psicrystal is able to warn you instantly in case of danger, sometimes even before it is aware of the danger itself. With this ability if your psicrystal is within 5' you gain evasion (if you already had evasion then you gain improved evasion instead), but so long as your psicrystal is within 1 mile you gain a bonus to your reflex save equal to half the number of personality fragments you have given to your psicrystal(s) (rounded down).
Fragmented Soul: Your soul exists in multiple places at the same time and with it you have gained new insight into how your body and soul interact. Whenever you are subject to a fortitude save your new understanding allows you a bonus equal to half the personality fragments you have given to your psicrystal(s) (rounded down). In addtion, you gain SR of 10+the number of personality fragments in your psicrystal(s). These bonuses work while your psicrystal is within 1 mile.
Fragmented Manifestation: Whenever you are within 5' of your psicrystal you gain a bonus to your manifestor level equal to half the number of personality fragments that it has (if there are multiple psicrystals add them all together before dividing, round down). This bonus cannot exceed your level in this class.
Extra Psicrystal: Each time you gain this ability you create an extra psicrystal. However, they do not all gain all of your personality fragments. Instead, the fragments are split between them. No psicrystal may have less than 1 personality fragment. For the first extra psicrystal the abilities that they grant you increase by 1 point (ie a hero personality fragment will grant you +3 to fortitude) and with the third the abilities increase by 2 points but this extra bonus only works while all are within 1 mile of you and each other.
Shifting Mind: After you rest each night you may spend 15 minutes in meditation and change where each of your personality fragments are.
Psicrystal Embodiment: In essence, you become another one of your psicrystals. Pick out 3 personality fragments, these are yours and each of your psicrystals gain the benefits that they offer but you do not. These three cannot be given away nor can your psicrystals already have them (if you choose one that a psicrystal already has give it a new one). You are now a combination of these 3 fragments plus the other fragments while they are within range.
You may have more transfer some of the other personality fragments from your other psicrystals onto yourself as a normal psicrystal with your shifting mind ability. Again, any personality fragments that you have on yourself grant their bonuses to your psicrystals instead of granting the bonus to you.
Your other psicrystals still grant their benefits with you as normal for their personality fragments.
In addition, these things happen to you:

Affinity: Each time the shattered mind gains this ability he gains Improved Psicrystal as a bonus feat.
Fragmented Mind: Your mind has been shattered by splitting it so many times you have lost some of yourself to your psicrystal. Whenever your psicrystal is out of range you no longer have access to the personality types that it possesses (ie if your psicrystal has hero as a personality splinter then you cannot make any heroic decisions while it is out of range). Your mind is also much harder to influence in this state however. Against any Will saving through or ability which tries to confuse your mind you gain a saving throw bonus equal to half the number of personality fragments you have given to your psicrystal(s) (rounded down). This bonus works while your psicrystal is within 1mile.
Extra Fragments: You gain the ability to choose from either the normal list of fragments or these fragments.
- Manifester: +1 bonus to manifestor level (does not grant extra pp or powers known, does not stack with overchannel or wild surge)*[if this is transfered to yourself with the 10th level ability each of your psicrystals gains access to one of your first level powers, whichever they get is your choice but they may not have the same power, and may manifest it at your manifestor level 1/day as a psi-like ability. The extra psicrystal bonus has no effect on this effect. Only you or one of your psicrystals may use a power in a round, not more than one of you.]
- Fighter: +1 BAB
- Brawler: +1 to weapon damage
- Tough: +1 hp/shattered mind level
- Fleet: +5' speed (no change with one psicrystal, changes to +10' with all three)
- Precise: +1 insight bonus to attack rolls (up to +3 with three psicrystals)
- Careful: +1 dodge bonus to AC (up to +3 with three psicrystals)
- Serene: +1 pp/shattered mind level (up to +3 with all three psicrystals)
- Miser: When manifesting a power pay power points equal to the normal cost minus 1. This ability is useable a number of times equal to 1/3 of your psicrystal affinity feats. (reduces cost by 3 with all three psicrystals)
- Grappler: +2 bonus on grapple checks
- Poisoned Soul: When this ability is on the psicrystal it gives the shattered mind character a poison in his blood that he is immune to. Whenever a monster hits the character with a bite attack or similar attack it gets poisoned with a brain numbing poison. Primary damage is 1 point of int damage, secondary damage is d6 to int, wis, and cha but if the first save is made the secondary damage does not happen. The DC is 15+con mod.
Also, you may take a full round action that provokes an aoo and a point of damage to place your blood on a weapon which will retain the poison for a number of rounds equal to your con, or the first successful damage dealing, whichever occurs first. If it is on the character then all of his psicrystals are coated in a thin layer of poison which functions against bite attacks and the like but cannot be coated on a weapon and the DC is 3 points less. - Skilled: +0 bonus on all skill checks
Fragmented Responses: Your psicrystal is able to warn you instantly in case of danger, sometimes even before it is aware of the danger itself. With this ability if your psicrystal is within 5' you gain evasion (if you already had evasion then you gain improved evasion instead), but so long as your psicrystal is within 1 mile you gain a bonus to your reflex save equal to half the number of personality fragments you have given to your psicrystal(s) (rounded down).
Fragmented Soul: Your soul exists in multiple places at the same time and with it you have gained new insight into how your body and soul interact. Whenever you are subject to a fortitude save your new understanding allows you a bonus equal to half the personality fragments you have given to your psicrystal(s) (rounded down). In addtion, you gain SR of 10+the number of personality fragments in your psicrystal(s). These bonuses work while your psicrystal is within 1 mile.
Fragmented Manifestation: Whenever you are within 5' of your psicrystal you gain a bonus to your manifestor level equal to half the number of personality fragments that it has (if there are multiple psicrystals add them all together before dividing, round down). This bonus cannot exceed your level in this class.
Extra Psicrystal: Each time you gain this ability you create an extra psicrystal. However, they do not all gain all of your personality fragments. Instead, the fragments are split between them. No psicrystal may have less than 1 personality fragment. For the first extra psicrystal the abilities that they grant you increase by 1 point (ie a hero personality fragment will grant you +3 to fortitude) and with the third the abilities increase by 2 points but this extra bonus only works while all are within 1 mile of you and each other.
Shifting Mind: After you rest each night you may spend 15 minutes in meditation and change where each of your personality fragments are.

Pick out 3 personality fragments, these are yours and each of your psicrystals gain the benefits that they offer but you do not. These three cannot be given away nor can your psicrystals already have them (if you choose one that a psicrystal already has give it a new one). You are now a combination of these 3 fragments plus the other fragments while they are within range.
You may have more transfer some of the other personality fragments from your other psicrystals onto yourself as a normal psicrystal with your shifting mind ability. Again, any personality fragments that you have on yourself grant their bonuses to your psicrystals instead of granting the bonus to you.
Your other psicrystals still grant their benefits with you as normal for their personality fragments.
In addition, these things happen to you:
- Gain a hardness rating equal to half of the personality fragments in your psicrystals (not counting the three in yourself). Your skin takes on the form of a psicrystal as do all of your other features (your eyes are now as some sort of crystal, your fingernails look like little psicrystals, etc).
- Reduce your size by a single category (unless this would make you smaller than your other psicrystals in size).
- Gain the construct type (your base race hd, saves, and bab do not change, nor do your skill points. You retain your con score and you do not gain any proficiencies nor lose any)
