D&D 3E/3.5 Kulan: Psionics and Psionic Organizations

[Knightfall]

There's also an overview of how the psionic classes (including the ardent, divine mind, erudite, and lurk of Complete Psionic) fare in Faerûn at the Class Chronicles Archive here, here, here, and here.

Read most of that already, but thanks.

You might want to scavenge content from this Greyhawk-based article, too. It specifically relates to the Scarlet Brotherhood, but you can work around that easily enough.

Hmm, going to have to take a closer look at that one.

I believe there was an organization known as the Colorless Lodge in If Thoughts Could Kill, with a Colorless Adept PrC. The PrC was updated in Hyperconscious.

I think that's what it was called.

Yeah, I noted the updated PrC in Hyperconscious, but there wasn't anything about the organization in it. I've got If Thoughts Could Kill too, but it's been a long time since I read it. Thanks for the reminder.

Any other sugggestions out there?

Personally, I like a lot more of Dreamscarred's stuff than I don't, and even the stuff I'm not too keen on is still a lot more interesting than psionic material I see elsewhere. As a d20 company specifically dedicated to writing psionic material, they do one heck of a job.

Thanks! And I think Alzrius summed things up pretty well - some of our works are better than others - you can't always hit homeruns.

Untapped Potential: New Horizons in Psionics has the following organizations:
Cosmic Echoes - think a sort of passive, rather than active, Illuminati.
The Mindwatch - psionic secret society of vigilantes who preserve psionic creatures from persecution
The Enlightenment - the name is kind of self-explanatory, really.

By no stretch of the imagination is Untapped Potential perfect - hence why I've actually be working on a revised edition incorporating errata, redoing the layout, and the like - but basically, the four original authors, myself included, wanted to make what we thought Complete Psionic should have been.

Mind Divine has:
Faceter's Guild - more of a craftsman's bureacracy of shapers
House of Mandreth - family of talented psionic humans
Kreh'len'shin - Seek to perfect their ability in combat and martial prowess
Night Terrors - Inspire fear and terror to control populaces
Order of Still Water - similar to The Enlightenment, but directly tied to following the philosophy of a godmind
Phantasms - organization dedicated to creating and refining psionic illusion techniques

Feel free to contact me if you want any other information

I'm trying to think of other sources for psionic organizations, but aside from those mentioned (PgtF, etc), coming up blank.

Have you checked the Mind's Eye at the Wizard's website? I'm sure there's some Sardior material there. Some of it is 3.0, but fluff works for any edition!

Hmmm... I had a whole slew of psionic organizations for my old game world. Of course, that was 3.0 and there is much more available for psioincs now, but I could dust em' off, update 'em, and give 'em a new coat of paint. Hmmm...

There was an old issue of Dragon magazine with several psionic organizations. The article was interesting and almost all fluff. A good thing because it was written for 2nd edition. I remember it having a particular organization that was big on lamps. Sounds stupid I know but it was actually very well written. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I'm having trouble finding the article in the DragonDex but I'll keep looking.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

In LPJ Design's The True Psionic Story: Amulet of Catapsi, I briefly mention the history of the Ghost Hounds, an organization of aristocratic psionicists created by a ruling magocracy and sent to hunt down renegade and unregistered psions. Organizations are better described in other books, but you might be able to pluck out some ideas from what I had written. The link is in my sig if interested.

I have been checking out the Mind's eye articles, and there is a lot of good stuff to pick and choose from. (Now if I just a had to clone to help me.)

Any chance that you're revised product will end up at my FLGS? I'm not really into buying PDFs. (Not having a way to purchase things online lakes it kind of hard.) I'm sure I could figure out a way, but I already buy way too many gaming books.

Excellent.

Post 'em here for everyone if you do.
