So I LOVE psionics. My first exposure was the Psionic Handbook 3.0 and I've been hooked ever since. Since Paizo doesn't really seem to be moving in that direction and Dreamscarred Press isn't really doing much right now I just did it myself. I decided to tackle the task of creating the Psionic spell list and then went on to make the Psion for a member of my group who also likes psionics. What I have so far is in my drive folder. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

UPDATE: I finally finished the psionic power/spell list with the descriptions for the new ones (18 pages long). I also finished the Psion class. Would like some feedback. Thanks.
I will have a longer look later as I have only had a cursory look.
I am a huge fan of psionics as well.
My initial feedback is it feels like a clone of wizard with a few tweaks that is very like the 3.5 psion which if that is what you are going for I think you have nailed it.
I like the psionic focus concept and the interplay with feats. Overall as an update of the 3.5 psion to PF2e its great.
I haven't had time to do a complete balance review as there is a lot to go through and I suspect it would need some playtesting.
My only concern is it is a bit too much like the wizard (I know the 3.5 one was) and I feel there is a lot of room in PF2e to really break psionics into its own more unique thing. With focus powers being the same as the wizard counterpart schools I feel like there is a lot of overlap particularly for those that might want to multi-class (cerebromancers for the win).
Thank you for your feedback. This is the second class that I've made for PF2. I've found that it is a daunting task, I have a lot respect for the game designers.
I did base if heavily on the wizard and sorcerer because that is what I had to go on, and I was just doing a conversion at this time from the 3.5 version. Now that I have the framework, it would be easier to modify in the future to make it a little more unique. I've also been toying with the idea of using the power points instead of spell slots. All this just takes time. I'll get to it when I can.
I made revisions based on feedback which include Psion specific focus powers. I also brought back Psionic Combat (it's pretty much a focus power now). Finally I created a variant that uses power points instead of spell slots. The link above should still work. I would love feedback and suggestions. Thanks.
Thank you for these, I am hoping to add kinesis/psionics into my game at some point and can't wait to see how well it works.

Cool Deal! Let me know how it works for you. I am open to suggestions for improvement. I'm also currently working on the soulknife, should be done within a week or so.

At this point I've finished the Soulknife, Wilder, and my version of the Psychic Warrior called the Battlemind. I also have a smattering of races that are linked to psionics in some way. I would love some feedback about them. The link in the first post should still work. Thanks.
