[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 3675077, member: 8461"] I think it really is just that good. The only preview I'm aware of is that they made the new Society Mind base class, as well as related feats, powers, etc. available as a free download; I personally love that new class, as it has both a very innovative idea, and superb execution (it's about a hundred times better than the Psibond Agent PrC in [i]Complete Scoundrel[/i]). Likewise, the new monsters, powers, etc. all seemed really new and exciting. I honestly think that any fan of d20 psionics should pick the book up. The Dreamscarred guys currently have eleven other books out (not counting freebies and expanded editions of books), all of which are pretty good, though some are better than others. The [i]Untapped Classes[/i] series each present a new PrC. Three of them are for the Marksman (a new base class in [i]Untapped Potential[/i]; the one for The Talon of the Thrush) also has a new organization. The last one presents a more invasive version of the Society Mind - the Soulbinder is a Society Mind that prefers to take slaves, rather than partners. The only [i]Races of the Mind[/i] out right now is for the Elan. It does a good job of getting inside their head, going over their approach to life, etc. It's got a fair amount of new crunch also. The [i]High Psionics[/i] stuff is a medley. [i]Countermeasures[/i] is pretty good, [i]Phrenic Diseases[/i] wasn't too bad, though it was a different take on diseases. [i]Psicrystals Expanded[/i] had some great new options if you're serious about having different kinds of psicrystals. [i]Psionic Feats[/i] has a lot of different stuff, but I found a lot of it to be really cool - there were feats in there to let you naturally detect psionic auras, for example, and be able to identify who they belonged to (that immediately made me think of Darth Vader sensing Luke via the Force). [i]Soulknives[/i] has some neat variant base classes, but they seemed a bit too specialized. However, the new feats and equipment more than made up for that (crystal hilts let you project your mindblade through them for added power, for example). Finally, [i]The Mind Divine[/i] is perhaps the most unique. It expands on the concept of psionic godminds (introduced in Malhavoc's [i]Hyperconscious[/i]), presenting them in a format similar to (but still different from) gods, along with plenty of options and organizations for their followers. Personally, I like a lot more of Dreamscarred's stuff than I don't, and even the stuff I'm not too keen on is still a lot more interesting than psionic material I see elsewhere. As a d20 company specifically dedicated to writing psionic material, they do one heck of a job. [/QUOTE]
