The Alpha document for Advanced Elan Options is now available for playtesting.
As with our other playtests, please feel free to give any and all feedback either directly in this thread, in the original linked thread, or in a private message or email to me if you'd rather give feedback privately.
This is the first playtest release of many - we will be doing the 8 core psionic races, as well as potentially new races, and later, giving the psionic racial options for the Race Builder rules!
So come play in our latest completely free, open playtest!
To make the playtest a bit easier to digest, I've broken up the elan rules document into six separate threads:
Excellent! Can't wait to hear how it goes!
Jeremy - Your Feats link goes to the thread for powers and similarly the Powers link goes to the feats, just a heads up.
Also, I feel the power "Enhanced Healing" is a little redundant for Egoists, as their 2nd level discipline ability replicates the effects of the power albeit at a lesser duration. It also begs the question of how the discipline ability interacts with the power, I would think that the ability would trigger but basically do nothing since they do the same thing and fast healing 1 is fast healing 1 even though they're from two different sources but you may want to clarify it just so you don't have someone argue it in some other fashion.
Beta releases for some of the Elan material is now available!
With another archetype which should be out in the next week.
And the Ascendant Psion archetype is now available for playtesting!
We are hard at work on the half-giant material, which will be the second set of material for playtesting.
After a too-long hiatus, we are ready with more playtesting material!
More to be posted as it is deemed ready for playtesting.
And the Kinslayer Archetype is now also posted!
Where is this information? Links lead to a 404.
EDIT: NM it's all in Ultimate...
Has there been a product released that has the ARG values for the psionic races in it?
Dreamscarred has updated their site and forum software since these were originally posted. The new playtest forums are here. I know the menteur and pattern wielder are in Ultimate Psionics.
Edit: Ninja'd by edit.
I don't think there has been definitive ARG values by DP for the psionic races. I know Purple Duck did their RP breakdown of an elan on their blog.
Yeah I found that one.
Looks like from this he intended to do ARG breakouts, but must have decided against it.

Not from us. There probably will not be. We were doing races well before ARG came out and to be perfectly frank the system presented therein is not...particularly impressive. It should be noted that recent products from Paizo also include player races that do not reference the race point system, as well as - for what it is worth - the fact that we're not alone in feeling that the system in question is, shall we say, unusably flawed (Bloodforge review).
That's ok. I just saw in Jeremy's post at the top that it was going to be included, which is why I asked.
Thanks :)

You'll note the original post is over 3 years old. DSP tries to ensure that we're on top of major changes that happen in the core product line, so the original idea to use the ARG's race builder system was proposed before anyone had really a good chance to actually look at the system (not uncommon even within a single company like Paizo, who use a large stable of freelancers, let alone two completely separate companies).
I think a few people have gone in after the fact and assigned RP values to some of the psionic races and psionic racial traits, so there may be some unofficial sources providing RP values if you're looking for them. I posted up RP breakdowns for the Akashic races in the playtest threads here and on GitP (calculated post design), though that ironically really served to reinforce why we've chosen not to use them in design.
