Planar Vanguard has an interesting 10th level ability. At 10th level, a planar vanguard gains the ability to turn her psicrystal** into a small pocket dimension. This pocket dimension is often used as a base of operation. A planar vanguard can craft a new psicrystal to replace the one used for this purpose. The original crystal is destroyed in the process, but the planar vanguard does not suffer the standard effects of losing a psicrystal. A planar vanguard can own only one demiplane at a time and cannot construct a new one unless all portals to the old one are destroyed. The planar vanguard must meditate 8 hours a day for one week to awaken the demiplane in her psicrystal. Upon awakening the ability in the psicrystal, the crystal shatters and a miniscule spherical demiplane that is 1 foot in radius is created. It grows quickly, gaining 1 foot in radius per day up to a maximum radius of 100 feet. After reaching that size, the demiplane continues to grow at a rate of 2 feet of radius per year. If its creator perishes, the demiplane stops growing. The planar vanguard's demiplane has the following planar traits: normal time, alterable, and normal magic and psionics. At creation the planar vanguard can set whatever gravity trait, elemental traits, and alignment traits she likes, and she can choose whether the plane is finite or self-contained. While the demiplane isn't morphic, the planar vanguard has total control over the landscape at the moment of creation, so she can decide whether it will be foreboding, mountainous wasteland, or bucolic forest. The terrain set at creation extends itself as the demiplane grows. While it is not possible to fit jagged peaks into a 1-foot sphere, cliffs and summits appear as the demiplane grows. The demiplane retains the personality of the psicrystal that is used in its creation. When on the demiplane, the planar vanguard is granted the effects of the special ability of the original psicrystal. **The demiplane retains the intelligence of the psicrystal used in its creation as well as the sighted, speak with other creatures, and sight link special abilities. Ranges for these abilities are disregarded, and sight link ends if the planar vanguard leaves the demiplane. The demiplane is unfurnished, so the planar vanguard must provide what construction is necessary. It has a single portal entry, which the planar vanguard can control for access. Those who know of the demiplane's existence can plane shift to the plane, though if the demiplane isn't large enough to hold the visitor (or the planar vanguard, for that matter), entry is denied. Demiplanes are often used as hiding places, research labs, and prisons for particular beasts. OK. So, a demi-plane that is intelligent. Reminds me alot of Neth - The Plane That Lives. What do you think it's HD are? { ... demons cackle, devils check their infernal ranking ... }

If you consider an Elemental Envoy to be connectable to a psicrystal - maybe as if it's a ~metapsionicy version - it's be fairly easy to figure out what a 100' radius by X' thick Elemental should be (where X = demiplane thickness). Regardless of crystal vs. EE, you wouldn't need a party face/skill monkey any more, 'cause the demiplane has ranks in the Epic range. Can you Poly- / Meta- morph a Demiplane(psicrystal) ?!
