As part of the ongoing “Pathfinder and Starfinder Sale” on DriveThruRPG for the next 9 days (as of this writing), I am interested in picking up Dreamscarred Press Ultimate Psionics and Psionics Bestiary PDFs, and I would like to know if these PF1E products can be use in the updated PF2E rules system, without significant conversion work?
.
I already have Dark Archive and will get Rage of Elements in the future, yet for my Dark Sun conversion and homebrew PF2E campaigns, I am interested in a full Psionic ruleset similar to those of the D&D/PF 3.5-3.75 era products, this is the one I am most familiar with.
.
I am aware that DSP has a KS campaign for updating Psionics for Starfinder, and that it is basically on hold/life support, so I would like to leave that option of the table for now.

You would need to convert essentially everything in there, mechanics wise. There's a few resources around of other people who have tried making point-based casting a thing. But it's a big project, especially if you try and do the classic psionic "big list of spells identical to other spells but psionic-ified". Playing a psychic can get you 80% of the way there since it's Brain Magic either way.

The mechanics don't work.
I made a psychic from Dark Archive, and it feels a lot like the psionics from back in the day. I'd just use that. And flavor it however you want.

Thanks for the responces so far, I realy like the classes, options, and monsters from these two products, yet hesitent to use them in PF2E if I have to basicaly rewrite everything to work with the new rule set.

I love the old psionics, and I don't feel that the occult spell list does it justice. I made my own home brew psionics that you can find here:
How this helps and I would love any feedback. The Soulknife class i converted has been made into an archetype in the Dark Archive. Enjoy

Linkified to the sale, Giorgo; the bottom link below the 6 picks should have some more sale stuff. ;)

Good to have some free PF2e psionics out there based upon the 3.x/PF1e versions, Omni713 ;)

After further reflection and research, the information in Dark Archives is not the direction that I want to take in my PF2E Dark Sun campaign (although the Rage of Elements book looks promising), and Psionics is an important aspect of this setting, so I will go ahead and get the books above, and then figure out how to make it work with PF 2E rules later. Thanks for the responses.

@Omni713, I saved your link for reading and feedback in the near future (within 6 months), when I get into a deep dive of the D&D 3/5/PF 1E Psionics system. :)
