Long time DM wanting to use Pathfinder version of Psionics;help needed

[Eboksba]

Hello. I am a long standing DM that has been off and on the table for quite some time, and I think it's time that I introduce psionics as a whole thang for my group. I joined everyone with the switch to 3.5 to Pathfinder and have never looked back.

I am wondering what collection of books are the "official pathfinder" versions of Psionics. Since Psionics have been kind of canonically challenged in many campaigns, I have decided to forgo caring about the setting, as I want to make them a general overall addition to my campaigns (though lightly sprinkled).

What I"m looking for is the whole set of Psionics for Pathfinder, made by Paizo, supported by Paizo, and even though they're not particularly accepted in Pathfinder society (I don't run society), I would like to know what books that are generally accepted by everyone out there.

Thanks for any help,

-E-

I have another request. I like having everything wrapped up together, and Paizo has erm, not historically been the best when it comes to including all of the everything in a single book (terrible for business; I approve).

What books/pdf's would I want if I wanted to include a full selection of psionic classes/races/items/archetypes and so on to the fullest extent? Is there a place I should look for?

This is kind of hard to answer, as paizo hasn't put out psionics. They have recently published Occult Adventures, which is sort of like psionics, but with more of a mystical flavor. That book is being uploaded right now on the pathfinder srd, and will probably appear on the prd soon.
Now, if you really want psionics, it has been published by a third party. While not paizo, it is generally seen as very good and balanced. This, too, you can find on the srd (though it's a bit harder to find)

Hope this helped!

Paizo doesn't have any support for psionics. Period. The designers and dvelopers have never been fans of the power points system, so they don't support it.

Dreamscarred Press, a third party publisher, has updated 3.x D&D-style psionics into (among other books), Ultimate Psionics. If you're a fan of the 3.x mechanics, this is the way to go (in my humble opinion.)

Paio just released (last month at GenCon) a psychic-style book called Occult Adventures. It covers many of the same general topics as psionics, but in a completely different mechanical manner. I'm not a fan of most of it, other than the Kineticist class, but it has quite a few fans.

Thank you for your quick answers, the Occult Adventures was more what I was looking for. I'm not particularly a fan of the manifester/power points system either, so I assumed that Paizo fixed it in pathfinder. Either way, this book seems to be exactly what I'm looking for.

Thank you for your answers! I would through cookies at you two if the internet would permit it.

Cheers,

-E-

Dreamscarred Press' Psionics system is excellent.
