[QUOTE="Psion, post: 3558593, member: 172"] They are both good psionics resources. However, I consider Hyperconscious the more essential of the two, and use it constantly. The main thing that Hyperconscious delivers is the mindscapes psionic combat system. This goes a long way in making psionics feel different than magic and adding a unique feel to a psionics campaign. It's very simple to use in play. Fortunately, Untapped Potential supports this system, but you gotta have Hyperconscious first, naturally. I find the PrCs in hyperconscious very interesting, especially the astral zealot, crystal proselyte, and chakra savant. The ghostbreaker comes across a bit strong. The adventure is interesting if you are following the "dark plea" plot of Cordell's (also referred to in When the Sky Falls). Regarding Untapped Potential... I set the bar on new base classes pretty high, and neither the devoted psion or the marksman made the cut in my game. The society mind, however, is a pretty slick concept that really plugs into what I think the idea of psionics is about. The thing that I really dig about Untapped Potential, however, is the treatment of the psionic classes. I really like that they filled out substitution levels and racial paragons for the psionic races... it really helps round them out and give them identity nicely. [/QUOTE]
