On the product page for Ultimate Psionics, it says it combines "nearly all of the material in Psionics Unleashed and Psionics Expanded into a single hardcover book. But not only does Ultimate Psionics contain existing content, over seventy pages of brand new material has been added (separately released as Psionics Augmented for those who already have Psionics Unleashed and Psionics Expanded)".

My question is, what materials of Psionics Augmented does Ultimate Psionics contain? Since I already have Ultimate Psionics, I don't want to double up and buy the same material twice, but I'm not sure which of the products under the Psionics Augmented listing are already there. I know that are some things that Ultimate Psionics doesn't have, like Psionics Augmented: Seventh Path.


How exactly does the Strength bonus for Primal Fury's Iron Hide Stance work?

"the initiator’s Strength bonus to damage is doubled (or tripled if wielding a weapon with two hands)."

Would this mean a character with a strength bonus of +4 using a one handed weapon would add 8 using only one hand and add 12 (4*3) using two hands or 8 with one hand and 18 (4*1.5*3) with two hands? I'm asking because the interaction between this stance and things like the Landsknecht's Strength of Arms ability or the Dragon Style and Dragon Ferocity Feats aren't clear to me.

I assume it just replaces the normal bonus (as the first example), but that means that any ability that increases your strength bonus is sort of wasted. If a Landsknecht with this stance gets the same benefit as anyone else it why would the take it over something else. If it worked as the second example those kinds of abilities would still be beneficial and still wouldn't top using a 2 handed weapon (even dragon style + dragon ferocity adding 2x str on the first hit).


With the errata, can you no longer take this feat multiple times for the same class? Before it just said "You may select this feat multiple times." but now it says:

"You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you may choose a different class and different maneuvers. Levels in prestige classes that progress maneuvers stack with your class levels for determining how many levels you have in a martial disciple class."

Is this just explaining that you CAN take it multiple times for different classes, since it says "you may choose", or does it mean you are restricted to taking it once per class?

I'd think it would be the former based on how it's worded, but if it is the latter it has a pretty significant impact on how you build a character, since its power literally depends on what level you take it at. I'm mainly confused because I'd swear I've seen first party material that says "you may" but doesn't really give you a choice, as if it meant "you may take this again as long as you apply it to something else."


Can you select the Standard Monk abilities that are listed as options for Qinggong powers as long as you don't already have it? For example, could you select the base monk's Diamond Soul for always on spell resistance that you have to lower manually instead of the Unchained Monk's swift action activated spell resistance that you have to manually activate?


On the d20pfsrd is says "When wielding a weapon in your off-hand, Deadly Agility will add the same fraction of Dexterity as you normally would for Strength." this directly contradicts my copy of Path of War which says "This modifier to damage is not increased for two-handed weapons, but is not reduced for off-hand weapons."

Did they release Deadly Agility in another book where they changed how the feat works? Cause unless they changed it somewhere I'm going with what my actual copy says.
