This power creates an artificial body composed of ectoplasm which duplicates any creature. The duplicate appears to be the same as the original with the same mindset and behavior, but it only has one-half of the real creature's levels or Hit Dice (and the appropriate hit points, feats, skill ranks, and special abilities for a creature of that level or HD). You can’t create a doppelganger of a creature whose Hit Dice or levels with more than 7 character levels. You must make a Disguise check when you manifest the power to determine how good the likeness is. A creature familiar with the original might detect the ruse with a successful Spot check (opposed by the caster’s Disguise check) or a DC 20 Sense Motive check.

The doppelganger is not under your command, but is considered friendly to the manifester regardless of previous allegiances. No special telepathic link exists, so command must be exercised in some other manner. A doppelganger has no ability to become more powerful. It cannot increase its level or abilities. If reduced to 0 hit points or otherwise destroyed, it reverts to ectoplasm and evaporates. A complex process requiring at least 24 hours, 100 gp per hit point, and a fully equipped laboratory can repair damage to a doppelganger.

Treat doppelgangers as astral constructs for the purpose of powers which interact with astral constructs (but nothing else).

Focus Component: The power must be manifested with its original within 60 ft, drawing a mental copy from the original and setting it into the base of the new doppleganger. The original need not be willing, but they do need to be present for the entire manifesting of this ability.

XP Cost: 100 XP per HD of the doppelganger to be created (minimum 700 XP).

Augment: For every two additional power points you spent, the HD limit of this ability increases by 1.

For the cost of the additional power points to manifest, you can establish the following powers on the doppelganger with a permanent duration with respect to the doppelganger itself: empathy, fate link, and mindlink. The total manifesting cost is the combined total of both powers, and you cannot exceed your manifester level as normal.
