Dreamscarred Press, the definitive source for psionics, is extremely excited to announce the official release of Psionics Unleashed, its core psionic rules system for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Updating the 3.5 psionics rules to the PFRPG, Psionics Unleashed offers over two hundred pages of psionic content, giving everything needed to introduce psionics into your Pathfinder campaign, whether it be as a player or as a GM.
All four psionic base classes return, with different class options that allow you to customize your character to fit the concept you want. Returning are the six disciplines of the psion, as well as a new generalist discipline. Psychic warriors now choose Warrior Paths that grant them specialized abilities based upon their chosen style. The soulknife uses blade skills to develop his mind blade techniques, and the wilder now has a variety of options for her wild surge.
Streamlining was the name of the game when it came to skills and feats - Use Psionic Device and Psicraft have been merged into Use Magic Device and Spellcraft, with optional rules presented for those who still wish to keep them separate. In addition, many feats that dealt exclusively with either expending focus or maintaining focus now have mechanics to work with both options, and new feats are introduced to handle the new class options.
Hundreds of psionic powers have been updated, revised, or created to offer your psionic characters a host of options to show off their manifesting talent, including a completely overhauled series of metamorphosis powers handling shapeshifting.
Psionics Unleashed is a top to bottom revision of psionics, and was written with the input of any player who wanted to help. Every mechanic of the book was posted multiple times to the public for review, the system was used across multiple campaigns at varying character levels, and this process transformed what would have been a solid psionic ruleset into an amazing book created with the help and support of the psionics community.
The PDF can be purchased for $9.95 from Dreamscarred Press or Paizo.
The printed book can be purchased for $24.99 from Dreamscarred Press or Paizo.
The PDF and printed book together can be purchased for $29.99 from Dreamscarred Press or Paizo.
Kudos!
It looks great. I eagerly await more.
SUPERHAPPY to see it released!
So much work has gone into this book it's unbelievable. SO many fans poured their hearts into helping with the Open Alpha & Beta that it makes me smile every time!
Check out the attributions for playtesting and additional design! ;)
We'll love any review, good or bad, and we'll even give away any PDF in our store to whomever writes a review and tells us. Mail me - stormhierta@gmail.com if you've written a review and linked it either here, to our store or somewhere else where people can find our book.
Yay! Since you mentioned the PDF + book bundle, I know which one I'm going to get in a couple weeks when the funds build back up. \m/
Due to stronger demand than anticipated, the print book is now on back order here at Paizo and at the Dreamscarred Press site. More are on the way!
Congratulations.

I've actually been in contact with a couple FLGS's about ordering the book and it looks like it's not yet available at the distributors, but should be available in January. This is unlikely to affect them, to be honest.

Ack! I shall pay attention next time. Heads up when they get here. Must pillage!

Scarily, even the second print run is already sold out (and we're still waiting for it to arrive)... Third print run is in the works, but likely won't arrive until after the 1st. This third print run is going to be significantly larger - we severely underestimated demand for the print book.

Yeah! Got to have the print book in this instance. Intend to get the book to show the others in the gaming group I'm in that there'll be a viable psionics option for Pathfinder once the rest of them are convinced to make the jump from 3.5.

Glad to hear the book is doing so well. Plan to order a copy myself come January.
I too will be ordering a hardcopy sometime early next year.
Got my pre-order book on Monday and couldn't be happier with it. I'll hopefully have a chance to let my paperbound fellow players have a look at it this weekend.
It makes me want to start plotting a game with a Blue as center piece BBEG, leading a goblinoid horde.

hope no one objects, but since I went home and fell asleep almost immediately, I didn't get to put my augments up on the DSP boards. Trust me people, Get. This. Book.

I've already ordered the book myself. What are the chances of getting this information into Hero Lab? I know they have something saying they plan to do psionics in the future. You might want to get in touch with them and see if it is possible and what kind of arrangement can be made for it.

We're actually in discussions with Lone Wolf about Hero Lab. Nothing to report just yet, but hopefully soon.
More books arrived at our warehouse today, so we'll be sending books off to Paizo to take care of some of the back order there and the third print run will cover all additional back orders and future orders.
{rubbing his hands impatiently}
Received it yesterday. Very happy with it! I wish you great success with it! It was so much fun to help with its creation, although my contribution was small.
Thank you so much for it!
We'll be updating the PDF within the next week to include all errata. The current list of errata can be found here, but if you have any others, please let us know!
