It's now Greater Psychoport under these rules. It can be confusing at first, but it lets Dreamscarred's authors (both of them!) adjust and alter the powers to tailor them specifically for psionics games without the caster classes complaining "well, why don't I get those extra options?"I noticed some new powers in the book. Do you have a list of the brand new ones off-hand? Or will I have to gloss over and see which ones are new and which were ported from XPH?
Thanks.
Actually, I noticed that, but there are some new ones.
Unravel Psionics is one of them. And I think Cosmic Awareness and Psychosis might be two more.

Curious to know why most of my artwork is missing from the pdf. I notice in all my pathfinder products missing letters in the titles probably as a way to track file sharing i assume but the artwork? really?
I apologize if this has already been answered but I found nothing using the search bar.
Also a huge improvement would be page and word links through out the document like on the paizo products its my favorite feature and I'm spoiled by it
otherwise great conversion, i was very worried through out much of the play test because it seemed you wanted to kill off the versatility of the powers themselves on top of the casters limited powers but I see its not the case
**** (+1* withheld due to what I CAN see of the artwork but for the price of the book cant really complain)

This is news to me - I've not heard of anyone else having problem seeing the artwork...

That's a problem with your PDF reader, not anything Dreamscarred did. What OS and what PDF reader software are you using? Try reinstalling or even a different reader altogether (for example, Foxit PDF reader instead of Adobe) and see if I'm right.

We've made no implementations to "track filesharers" to be honest and this seems more, as someone pointed out, to be a problem with either an old Adobe Reader (we've noticed a few inconsistencies), or a third party PDF reader. I personally have no problems with Acrobat 9 or any of the Linux-readers I've tried, but we've also heard of a few small problems with people using a Mac?

I suspect both of the issues you're talking about come from using Preview under OS X 10.6. Try Adobe Reader instead, and I think you'll find both of those problems will go away.

Are you still on target doing theupdated second printing of the print book with the various corrections and/or errata in mid-February?
Thanks!
I thought I remembered seeing a question like this asked. Sorry for taking a week to respond, it got lost in the shuffle.
Not currently, no. The changes have resulted in a fair bit of text shifting that's going to take at least a few days to correct, review, correct, review, etc.
At this point, I'm expecting we can get the updated PDF out in late February, but the updated printing, probably not until mid-March.

Jeremy Smith Dreamscarred Press |

Jeremy, how would you figure the powers known and power points possessed for a psychic warrior5/metamind10/war mind 10? :D
Well, currently, there are no rules for characters beyond level 20 unless you use 3.5 rules...
So, essentially, you're at level 20/20 powers known / power points.

My copy has finally arrived, and I'm liking it so far.
I do have a query, however. The book uses the 3.5 XPH version of the Intellect Devourer, whereas I was hoping to see the one in the Pathfinder Bestiary converted to psionics instead. Was there any particular reason for not using the Pathfinder one as the starting point?
(The Bestiary one has 2 more HD, and better ability scores and resistances.)

We will announce that an update has been made. Each PDF copy will also be updated free of charge.

Simply download it again from whichever storefront you purchased it at. When we update it, we update it at all storefronts (here, RPGNow, DriveThruRPG, Dreamscarred Press, etc). Most of these storefronts automatically alert you that the files have been updated.

So is an "Advanced Psionics Guide" planned for the future? As in what Complete Psionic was to the Expanded Psionics Handbook? (only better than WotC's, of course :D)
Already in active development and we're doing it as an Open Playtest.
You can follow the thread here which contains links to just about all the material in the Alpha.

I ordered the bundle last week and got the PDF. LOVE IT.
One question though, does anyone know if there is a Psionic Power list DB in a table or Excel format like the spells are on the d20 pfsrd.com site?
Link:Spells DBHaving the list in this format make it soooo much easier to find what I am looking for since I can filter by class, school, etc.
I went ahead and put together something on my own. This spreadsheet has a list of all the Psionic Powers from Psionics Unleashed with all of the info *except* the full power descriptions. (If someone knows a good way to extract them from the PDF without having to copy/paste them into Excel, let me know and I'll add them)
I posted it to Google Docs. I will also try to post in on the Dreamscarred messageboards as well. Feel free to repost it wherever you like.

+1! I think you used their psionics stuff in at least one of your products. Obsidian?

Actually we have done two Dreamscarred Press Psionics Unleashed Compatible products: Secret Societies of NeoExodus: Section Omega (PFRPG) and NeoExodus Chronicles: Psionic Cavian. I am still debating if we are going to do a psionic suppliment for Obsidian Twilight.

First of all, thankyou for the kind words. We are happy to collaborate with other 3PPs putting out quality material and we'd naturally love to see something in Obsidian Twilight using our psionic material, but only if it makes thematic sense for the setting and the world.
We're happy to see all these companies - LPJr, Alluria (doing Waves of Thought), Rite Publishing and SGS - working off of our rules to create new and awesome content for all Pathfinder gamers. :)

Pardon my asking but is this more or less going to be the "official" Pathfinder psionics book?
Paizo has no current plans (that I am aware of based upon postings by various Paizo employees) to do a Psionics book. That is not to say that they might not do one in the future, but if they did, it has been strongly hinted that it would not resemble the Expanded Psionics Handbook, nor the general system that the XPH utilized, and would instead focus on more "traditional" psionics. James Jacobs posted a few times about it in various threads when he was asked the question about psionics.
Currently, it is the de facto psionic rulebook for Pathfinder, because nobody else has put out psionic rules, but it is not endorsed by Paizo as the "official" psionics book for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
Hope that answers your question without being too long-winded. :)

Well it has been endorsed by several 3PP publishers as being the "official" Pathfinder psionic rules by make products using it.

This is true.
LPJ Design, Super Genius Games, and Rite Publishing have all released Psionics Unleashed compatible products, and a few other publishers are working on other products, as well. :)

Random FYI: A large portion of Psionics Unleashed should be going live today on d20pfsrd.com.
Done:
- Chapter 1: Races
- Chapter 2: Classes
- Chapter 3: Skills and Feats
- Chapter 6: Prestige Classes
Remaining to do:
- Chapter 4: Psionics
- Chapter 5: Powers
- Chapter 7: Psionic Items
- Chapter 8: Psionic Monsters
- Review/Update/Correct links
- Final Review
Unfortunately, I am driving 22 hours starting early tomorrow morning for a family trip to Disney World and will only sporadically be able to work on wrapping up the remaining chapters. Unless someone else steps up to wrap up the remaining work it will likely not be finished until the week of 11th-16th some time.

Pardon my asking but is this more or less going to be the "official" Pathfinder psionics book?
It is the belief of Super Genius Games that Paizo won't ever be doing a psionics book using this or particularly similar system. (They may well do their own psionics/psychic system someday, but I believe it'll be different enough to not overlap significantly). I doubt anyone else wants to take the time and effort Dreamscarred has put into Psionics Unleashed just to create a competing book.
So when we want to use Psionics in our Pathfinder-compatible products, we'll be using Psionics Unleashed. That doesn't make it "official," but I think it's the de facto standard. (And a great book, to boot.)

If it helps with Chapter 5, here's a Spreadsheet I posted to Google Docs with all the Powers. It has everything except the full description in it. I modeled it off of the Spell database on your site. I emailed it to the contact email on the site earlier this week to see if it would be useful to you.

If you're "Stewpndous" yep, I got it. I just haven't had a chance to respond yet since I've been bustin' tail trying to wrap this book up. Your spreadsheet will certainly be helpful :)
Yup that's me. Happy to share the fruits of my labor and contribute in some small way.
By the way, if you know of an easy way (aside from copy/pasting each one) to extract all the full descriptions of all the powers, let me know and I'll be happy to help further.

We technically already have all of the text fully extracted and linked. We have a perl script that automatically pulls the text out of the pdf's and then auto links the key words. We just have to now take that linked text and create the pages on the site and then format them to look right etc. However, your table will be helpful because I can copy and paste from it and it will retain the tabular format for building the one big table of feats/powers etc. The biggest time sync is reconstructing the tables especially the bigger ones.

That makes me wish I knew how to create Perl scripts. There are all kinds of things that I would love to extract from PDFs :)
EDIT: Is that script something that is commercially available, or is it something you created yourself?

Thanks!
Due to the time involved in updating the printed book, it will be done probably in mid-February. The PDF downloads will be updated sooner than the printed book for obvious reasons. So far, the errata fits on a single page, and for the most part are fairly minor changes.
You can see the full list of errata here.
Hi Jeremy,
As Psionics Unleashed appears to be on backorder once again, I was wondering whether the next shipment to arrive in Paizo's warehouse will contain the errata incorporated into the printed version?
Cheers,

We still have quite a bit of stock to burn through in our warehouse (which we'll be sending to Paizo this week to get the book off backorder) that is from the original version of the files.
However, we're currently in the process of updating the document with all the errata, so it should be relatively soon, it's just that little things keep cropping up and when we do it, we want to do it right.

Given the response of people snapping up this product, you got to be pleased that there's a serious hunger for psionics in folks' game settings than what is usually stereotyped as a niche product that allegedly doesn't have that much of a fan base.
Congrats on tapping that market and having others come board to expand from it as the current de facto standard. :)

Thanks! Andreas and I were pretty sure we'd have a certain quantity of "guaranteed" sales with this book, but we never expected the level of sales that we've had. It exceeded either of our expectations in that regard - by a large margin, and pleased would be an understatement.
The projects we're able to do now - especially ones that are rather capital-intensive (such as completely freelancing out adventures, paying for writing, cartography, graphics, etc) - were things we didn't expect to be able to do for quite some time. Instead, we're now able to have multiple projects in flight, using our success to get some of those things we've always wanted to do done.
It's definitely been an exciting 3 1/2 months. :)
