This creature stands nearly 10 feet tall and is grown or carved from blood-red crystal. Sharp, serrated facets increase the deadly appearance of its already ominous form.
A psion-killer (also called a crystal golem) is 9½ feet tall and weighs around 2,500 pounds. Its body is composed of sharply faceted crystal.
Despite their psion-specific name, these golems are created to be the bane of all psionic creatures and characters. Their crystal bodies are sometimes carved with symbols promising death to psionic beings and often also bear utilitarian psionic tattoos.
A psion-killer does nothing without explicit orders from its creator. It follows instructions literally and is incapable of any strategy or tactics. Psion-killers don’t use weapons, even if ordered to, but always strike with their fists.
A psion-killer’s creator can command it if the psion-killer is within 60 feet and can see and hear its creator. If uncommanded, a psion-killer usually follows its last instruction to the best of its ability, though if attacked it returns the attack. Its creator can give a psion-killer a simple command to govern its actions in his or her absence, such as “Remain in this area and attack all creatures that enter.”
Dispel Psionics (Su): A psion-killer can use dispel psionics as a free action once per round. The effect is as an area dispel in a 30-foot-radius burst. The dispel check is 1d20+10.
Immunity to Psionics (Ex): Psion-killers completely resist psionic effects that are subject to power resistance.
