Just picked up the Expanded Psionics Handbook

[MerricB]

I just hope these 2 action types make it into the SRD/RSRD so other companies can use them now, not whenever 4e roles arround.

Given that the Expanded Psionics rules will be in the SRD within a month (or so), I think we have nothing to fear!

Cheers!

How about Githyanki and Githzerai? Any updates their to atone for the recent oxymorons of non-psionic Gith?

They now have Githyanki, Psionic and Githzerai, Psionic, the writeup is a little confusing, but it seems you are suppose to build them as normal npc races, and regardless of class they get some basic psionic powers that increase with level. Both have 1st level warrior's as examples.

Can anyone post the Fist of Zuoken fluff text? I'm not much interested in the crunchy bits, as a Greyhawk-phile I'm interested in the level of faithfulness that was kept towards Zuoken.

For those in the know and can discern it, could you post other examples of usage of Greyhawkiana in the book?

Thanks!

Not a lot of info here. As you probably already know, they are psionic monks. They develope their abilities and take it upon themselves to protect other psionic creatures.

Wow! Cool new power:

Decerebrate [Psychoportation]
You selectivly teleport away part of the victem's brain stem. He becomes a vegetable for 1d4 days before he dies. He can only be saved with Greater Restoration or a similar effect 7th level or higher.

Another cool new power:

Death Urge [Telepathy]
You plant a hidden death urge into the subject's subconsious. On the subject's next turn, it looks for the quickest method to end it's life and attempts to do so.

BWAHAHA! Telepaths get a whole new toybox of uber-evilness.

Erm, that was in 3.0 [as Fatal Attraction].

Erm, that was in 3.0 [as Fatal Attraction].

Big change though, now it effects the target instantly and he tries to kill himself in the next round. In 3.0, it took 1d4 days before it took effect.

Essentially, it has become a combat power instead of a...uh...assassination power?

Personally, I'm rather fond of the entry for Deja Vu...
