Taskers typically appear as short, featureless humanoid figures resembling astral constructs. While they can never engage in combat, they can fetch things, open unstuck doors, follow specific party members, and carry things like bags, sacks, barrels, or crates. Higher-level taskers become more powerful and versatile and some can even perform more complicated tasks such as blacksmithing. <a href="http://wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20020727b" target="_blank">Astral Taskers</a> This month in "Expanding Your Mind" we bring you five new specialized feats dealing with astral constructs. The first feat, Advanced Construction, allows you to extend the list of abilities that your astral constructs can use, and it introduces new, more powerful Menu D selections as well. The second feat, Ecto Manipulation, allows you to trade in abilities for selections from a higher menu and gives you access to the new Menu D. The third feat, Extended Construction, increases the duration of your astral constructs to minutes instead of rounds. The fourth feat, Enhanced Construction, increases the number of constructs that you create every time you manifest an astral construct power. The fifth and final feat, Infused Construction, allows you to increase your metapsionic cap for the purposes of manifesting astral construct powers. Finally, we bring you four new astral construct themed psionic items for your enjoyment.<a href="http://wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20020727c" target="_blank">Astral Constructs and New Construct Feats</a> It seems like someone is always itchin' for a fight. It's a well-known fact that most psions don't last too long in a knock-down drag-'em-out style melee. However a few gifted psionic characters have chosen to follow a different path. They use the brawn and bodies of others as their fists and shields. These psionic characters have focused their studies on astral constructs and have created constructs that are faster, stronger, and more efficient than their so-called "normal" counterparts. Some of these specialists, sometimes known as "Erbauer" or constructors, have become quite famous by leading the charge into battle or laying waste to the walls of enemy strongholds. Regardless of the path they travel in life, it is always comforting to know that extra help isn't far away whenever they're around.<a href="http://wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20020727a" target="_blank">The Constructor</a></blockquote>
