Déjà Vu? ... Déjà Vu!

Déjà Vu? ... Déjà Vu!

Most of you are aware that the Psionic Power déjà vu appears twice in the XPH.

But was this really an error? If it was any other power I would say yes. But déjà vu? Hey, that way I actually had a kind of déjà vu when reading the XPH the first time

So was it done on purpose? What do you think? (And: is there any official statement?)

Could be a little joke on that part of the designers. It'd be nice to think so, anyhow.

I agree. While I don't have any proof, I'm sure this was done on purpose. It's very funny!

I too suspect a deliberate joke.

However, its name is the only one that uses a non-English character set, so it's possible that it somehow slipped through alphabetization and thus easy correction.

Oh it was deliberate.

Yeah, if it went alphabetical, the power would be twice right next to itself.

I mean, the XPH has a handful of glaring editing errors (Soulknife BAB for one), but I think this was intentional.

Where is the second instance?

EDIT: Nevermind. Found it. Very funny.

Am I the only person who saw that and thought "Hey, they could have put another power in there instead of trying to be all clever." Cheap jerks.

Yes.

The only one.

Only if you're using a sane alphabet.

The power in question is named in French.

I rest my case.

I'm sure there was something very similiar to this in the Psionic Handbook.

Can't remember what it was, but we knew it was in a list twice as a joke.
