Hi guys,
The latest instalment of the Encyclopaedia range, written by Shannon Kalvar, is now here - Encyclopaedia Psionica: World Shapers.
World Shapers is the first Encyclopaedia to cover the strange discipline of psionics, and focuses on those who are capable of bending reality and shaping the world with their mere thoughts. Specifically, these are the powers that deal with metacreativity, psychokinesis and psychoportation.
The Overview chapter looks at such people and their powers in a little more detail, considering latent and active psionics, families of power and psionic ghosts and foci useful in world shaping. It also covers the actual users of the talent, the nomad, savant, shaper and psychic warrior, four very different individuals who share common traits.
New Feats allows not only the boosting of powers for psionicists and psychic warriors, but also the inclusion of Latent Feats, designed for non-psionicist characters who wish to have a brush with psychic power. For example, a fighter may have Blooded Blade, forging a strong mental bond with a favoured weapon, or a Rogue may have Falcon Flight Strike, allowing him to penetrate magical protections with ranged attacks.
New Psionic Powers are presented, concentrating on those in the metacreativity, psychokinesis and psychoportation disciplines. From a mild Ectomplasmic Lash to creating a Wrinkle Space between two distant locations, the psionicist and psychic warrior now have plenty of new powers to call upon. In all, nearly 50 new psychic powers have been included in this book.
Psionic Prestige Classes focuses on those specialists who can bend reality with their thoughts - the Death Shadow, Deforming Fist Stylist, Ice Reaver and, most potent, the World Shaper, a true master of creation, time and matter. Move over, high level wizards
Psionic Items gives rules for psionic foci, as well as plenty of new items such as the Star of Lum-Alun, Far Reaching Gloves and Phantom Crystal. This is quickly followed by comprehensive rules for the creation and manifestation of psionic ghosts, their origins and power levels. Emotion templates are provided to apply to psionic ghosts, allowing you to create one that is in agony, delight or is deranged, among others.
Finally, the Help for Games Masters chapter will aid the integration of World Shapers into any existing campaign.
Encyclopaedia Psionica: World Shapers is priced at $14.95 and is available now at all good games stores and book shops.
