Just posted up the dvanced Races - Favored Class Options Alpha with around 80 new choices between the core races and the psionic races.

Check it out, give us feedback, try it out in your games!

Also, preorders get to see preview artwork for the Chirurgeon, Exemplar, Marksman, and Tactician. Still working on artwork for the Juggernaut.

And we are getting closer to having our stealthy class ironed out for an Alpha release.

A new ranged archetype for the soulknife has been released for Alpha testing.

Check it out!

We're open for name suggestions on this guy.

A second Beta release of the Chirurgeon has been posted.

As have the following Beta powers:
Endorphin Surge
Psychic Bodyguard
Heal Injuries
Brutalize Wounds
Resistant Body

In addition, a second Beta release of our shapeshifting prestige class has been posted, but only to those who preorder.

The Marksman is going to be getting a hefty overhaul for a second round of Beta.

The Juggernaut will get a hefty overhaul for Beta. Like the Eidolon, the Juggernaut will get alternate base forms for his armor - skin-tight suit, classic armor, and then hulking form. We'll be expanding the customization options - some of them tooled specifically for the different armor forms - as well as changing some of the mechanics (hardness will be going away due to balance reasons).

In addition, some Alpha powers that I neglected to post:

Detect Compulsion
Suppress Compulsion
Empathic Condition Relief
Incite Passion
Wither
Defer Fatality
Regenerative Aura

Just please, please don't use the Summoner and its Eidolon as a guideline for class balance/power...... The Summoner is already somewhere between a Bard and Cleric in its own abilities, then it has its Eidolon that's more powerful than a cohort and all the abilities to share/divert harm between the two of them (plus they can still take Leadership for an actual cohort, and eidolons don't even incur a penalty to Leadership Score, technically, unlike animal companions and such).

On another note, I may actually have the chance to give Psionics Unleashed a whirl, soon, in a campaign I'm trying to start over OpenRPG. Just need to recruit a few more players.

I wouldn't worry too much about this. While the juggernaut's armor is based on the eidolon's mechanics, he'll be using the damage output and utilities of the monk / rogue as his baseline. It's why he doesn't have manifesting outside of some minor psi-like abilities.
