It's been almost three months since our Kickstarter closed, I figured it was a good time to do a public update on the status of the Ultimate Psionics hardcover book.
Our two new races - the forgeborn and noral (aka the dreamscarred) - are finished. Both were designed using the rules in the Advanced Race Guide, with some additional psionic abilities added in.
You can see the artwork for the new races here: forgeborn and noral.
Both pieces of art are by Joe Shawcross.
We have our elan and half-giant archetypes in playtesting, as well as one xeph archetype. The elan archetypes are in Beta, while the half-giant archetypes should enter Beta soon. The remaining xeph archetypes should start to enter playtesting this week. As with all of our other player content since we started on Psionics Unleashed, the playtesting is completely open to the public.
Elan - Cerebromorph, Menteur, Pattern Wielder
Half-Giant - Battle Paragon, Kinslayer, War Hulk
Xeph - Xephyr
The new tactician archetype, the Metanexus, is in playtesting, as well.
We've posted the artwork for three of the monsters in the Bestiary. One of them, the Phrenic Scourge, isn't new - but the artwork comes from the stretch goal to upgrade all of the B&W artwork to full color.
Deranged Trepanner
Mathara Plant
Phrenic Scourge
All three monster images are by Rick Hershey.
We've identified our forty new feats and have posted a partial list as we sort out names for the additional feats. Playtesting on those should start next week.
The GM section has had its first portion posted for preview, the section dealing exclusively with the Nova Phenomenon.
We are continuing to brainstorm the 20 NPCs for the Book of NPCs stretch goal, and artwork orders for that will be going out in January.
We've just about wrapped up the psionic character sheets - pending some minor revisions from the initial preview.
We've finalized our layout format - and if the feedback from our backers is any indication, it's a hit.
And the first two panels of our four-panel GM screen has been completed, with the third expected in the next week or two!
Lots and lots of work being done. Still a lot left to do, but we're steadily chipping away at it.
