As a heads up to the Dreamscarred folks, the Wilder class is missing from the PDF bookmarks section in Ultimate Psionics.

Huh. Look at that. I've been working off of a prerelease PDF that I did some proofreading for, and the bookmark was present at that time. Looks like this slipped into release at some point.

My character sheet making journey continues, this week with a Marksman sheet: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3dtvd57842q3qe5/marksman_sheet.zip?dl=0
Make sure to check my previous efforts by clicking on my name and reading the profile for the links!
glad I could help :)
I was looking at the races the other day and noticed that the Forgeborn and Norals aren't listed in the bookmarks either.

Cryptic is my favorite class.....
The Dread character sheet is up: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yhgxay2yxqh7lky/dread_sheet.zip?dl=0
Aegis coming next week!
Then I'll probably create some optional pages: one for detailing class features (for people who won't memorize all theirs terrors or insights, for an example), a expanded inventory with psionic items, and a psicrystal sheet.
The Aegis character sheet is done: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ufp2eykh44u12pu/aegis_sheet.zip?dl=0
And so are all the psionics classes. Just gotta finish those little extras I planned, and onward to another book! =)

It's a wrap!
Extra sheets for psionics classes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/exu8twx4inuzkr3/psionics_extras_sheets.zip?dl=0
Containing:
Psicrystal sheet
Astral constructs sheet
Expanded inventory
Insights sheet
Terrors sheet
Blade skills sheet
Strategies sheet
It's been a blast digging so deep into these mechanics to come up with useful character sheets. Changed my impressions of some classes, like the cryptic and the tactician.
But it also made me realize the lack of a psionic pet class! Sure, anyone can have a psicrystal, shapers can build astral constructs, and there is that archetype for the aegis or that one prestige class. But no crystal-armored, ectoplasm filled, power point augmented, astral plane conected, capable of fighting on its own, psionic equivalent of the summoner/druid pets!
Anyway, I'll try to put all these psionics sheets on a single .pdf file and upload it here as well - I prefer to have them as images, but that format just dominates the charactet sheet scene.
very cool work The Ragi! Thank you for making all of these.
I'm going to develop a library of house rules and eventually make it public, but not immediately. More to the point, I need more Psionic Powers, but I don't know how to make them, or what guidelines I should follow. Basically, I would like some guidelines on not making my custom power too over-powered. Does anyone have some suggestions?
Well, I've been doing some of that lately, and I'm certain the bosses have some ideas...but would you rather see a quick-and-dirty reply here in this thread, or d'ya think you could hold out for a blog post on the Official Site of Officiality that we link back this direction for ya?

He's saying that he can give you an off-the-cuff answer in a forum post, or you can wait until a (apparently) upcoming official blog post from the developers of UP is posted.
In short, quality/thoroughness/officiality versus rapidity.
:P Didn't post properly, I meant to say I don't know what that means.
EDIT: Didn't view properly, what I meant to say: Because I have no idea if the blog post is real, I would like an answer here.
Am confused. Prince of Knives writes for Dreamscarred Press, the people who published Ultimate Psionics. He's saying that Dreamscarred will be posting a blog post covering the topics you're asking about (though no timeframe is given). It doesn't get more real than that.

I daresay most people not visiting the DSP forums don´t know the acronyms of the developers/writers over there, less so over here.

Stormhierta - Andreas Ronnqvist, co-owner/founder
Jeremy Smith - Jeremy Smith, co-owner/founderPrince of Knives / Lord Gareth - Jade Ripley, staff writer/designer
ErrantX - Chris Bennett, lead designer of Path of War line
Ssalarn - Michael Sayre freelancer/lead designer Akashic Mysteries line
Those are the ones I know off the top of my head. There's a few other guys like Elricaltovilla aka Anthony Altovilla, a designer for the Path of War line, and I know Novawurmson is also one of the PW guys, but the 5 people listed above are the ones who can generally make authoritative statements and/or rulings over their various product lines.
Does Power Stone Repository customization qualify Aegis for "Ability to manifest X power" PRCs? Harness Power Stone?
Is there a true errata for just people who have the Ultimate version? I noticed that some things I have found in random unleashed erratas are accurate but were never updated in the ultimate pdf.
For example, crystalized mind blade for the metaforge prestige class. It still does not list the action it requires to use it. I later found in a "unleashed" errata it was supposed to be a swift action so I use that now.
Also, the unleashed errata stated that the Aegis starting gold after errata was 5d4 ×10 (125 gp) however the actual ultimate psionics book says 2d6 x 10 gp (70 gp). Which one is correct?
A final random question if you don't mind. I noticed you also sell your books on your official website and that a wilder and mythic book was also released. How long does it usually take till they are uploaded to paizo's website for purchase?
Thanks in advance. Purchased most of the books you have published except bloodforge.
Another thing I forgot. The Errata for unleashed mentions wilders lose health if they cant lose power points from evervation but ultimate has so such information in it. Are they intended to still lose hp or was that removed?
I got this today and downloaded the files, out of curiosity what is the difference between the "FULL" and "LITE" PDFs?
"Lite" pdf are less graphics intensive and use less ink if you want to print them.
I've been updating a thread with sample characters made with third-party classes for some weeks now, but decided recently to spread the love a little more. Here's a sample psionic warrior archetype for everybody who's ever looked at the mechanics, thought “I wonder how this would look like all prim and proper” but never took the jump – well, wonder no more.
She was originally used as a replacement for the last boss in a paizo scenario (I just run them outside PFS), so there's a spoiler box around her description – though it doesn't give out much other than “there's a last boss”.

1st level psionic powers
- Stomp: as a standard action, stomp your feet to cause a psychokinetic shock wave that spreads through the ground in a cone for 20 feet. Creatures caught in this spread that fail their Reflex save fall prone and take 1d4 points of lethal or non-lethal damage, up to the user’s choice. As a half-giant, the thunderjarl can use it as a 1/day power for free (DC 11), or pay 1 power point per use (DC 13).
- Roshan’s Inevitable Strike as a swift action, your next attack roll gains a +5 insight bonus. It also ignores concealment. The weapon being used leaves an after image as a visual display. 1 power point.
Talents
- Float as a standard action, you mentally support yourself in water or similar liquid. Gain a 5 ft. swimming speed, or if you already have one, increase it by 5 ft. Lasts for 1 round. Free if you are psionically focused, or 1 power point.
- Blinding Flash as a swift action create a blinding flash of light up to 25 ft. away to dazzle (–1 penalty on attack rolls and sight-based Perception checks) one creature, if it fails a Fortitude save (DC 12). Lasts for 1 round. Free if you are psionically focused, or 1 power point.
Psionic Feats
- Psionic Weapon While you maintain psionic focus, your attacks with a melee weapon deal an extra 1 point of damage. Additionally, if you expend your psionic focus as part of an attack with a melee weapon, that attack instead deals an extra 3d6 points of damage.
- Speed of thought As long as you are psionically focused and not wearing heavy armor, you gain an insight bonus to your speed of 10 feet.
ROLE-PLAYING
She’s the captain of a military ship that attacks the player’s own boat, currently carrying a de-powered artifact. She wants to to destroy them and steal the object and is helped by a posse of three lingshenese soldiers (human monk 1).
When she first boards the player’s boat, she’ll use the 1/day stomp ability to provoke them into coming closer, threatening to destroy the ship while they watch. She’ll then use Roshan’s Inevitable strike as a swift action, and spend her psionic focus on her psionic weapon feat as part of her attack to boost her damage up to 2d8+7+3d6. The following round she uses a full action to recover her focus. And then is back to attacking. She can do this 4 times before running out of power points, when her attack bonus fall really low, and the party’s chances of survival go up.
By the way, she activates her psionic tattoo before entering the enemy's’ ship. It lasts for 20 rounds.
She is a one trick murder pony, being a threat only in close combat, which she’ll try to be in at all times. I strongly advise to have her either take out an animal companion or NPC before going for the PCs. In my game she obliterated an automaton, and after seeing all those dice of damage being rolled, everybody scattered so fast I thought they were going to jump into the water. It made for a very dynamic combat, but also a near TPK.
I plan to roll one character from each psionic class available, but always archetypes. I figure Ultimate Psionics is the most popular compatible Pathfinder product out there, so the odds of having seen one of those guys on a table are bigger than average (not to mention Dreamscarred Press has a NPC book), but the alternatives not so much.

I'm not with DSP, but I am sorry you're having trouble with your order. I've only had good results with my interactions with them, with them even replacing a copy that the cover came off of after only a few weeks of use. I hope you get some answers!
