[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1967711, member: 478"] BTW, the flavor text also implies this (and more). [i]You have created a psicrystal.[/i] [b]Not:[/b] You have learned how to create psicrystals (or a psicrystal). That knowledge is certainly implied, but it also says in the psicrystal description, that [i]a psicrystal is a fragment of a psionic character’s personality[/i]. Doesn't it make sense, that the creator has to "give up" something to this end? The "fragment". Permanently allocating a feat to this purpose could be seen as such, for example? (I like the XP loss better, makes more sense to me, that you lose some XP, if a part of your self, a fragment of your own personality gets destroyed.) The flavor text furthermore implies, that upon choosing the feat you immediately gain the psicrystal, since you already [i]have created[/i] it. Of course, it's just flavor text, but it further underlines what the rules also state (except for the immediate part, nothing in the benefit section states that you have to gain the psicrystal immediately (altho I wouldn't know why one would want to wait with that, anyways ;))). Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
