Open Call for variant Psionics Rules...

[Lalato]

I'm looking for variant psionics rules... whether they be free, print, or pdf. I want to see what's out there so I can pick one for a campaign.

Here is what I know of so far...

Psionics Handbook
Skills and Feats Psionics
Craft of Mind

Are there any others?

Thanks for your help...

If Thoughts Could Kill and Mindscapes, both from S&SS. Mindscapes is currently only available as a PDF, but being a Malhavoc product it will come out in print in a couple of months.

I'm pretty sure S&SS also makes a Psionics Toolkit, but it may or may not have any variant rules in it.

Spycraft -- Archer Sourcebook. Skills 'n feats psionics. SLide the DC's for all the effects up 5 to balance them a bit.

Spycraft. So good, in so many ways.

There are variant psionic combat rules in

Quintessential Psion
Quintessential Psychic Warrior
and the PDF product
Psioncis Companions

I personally have no great love for any of the three variants.

On my website (see sig) I've got some tweaks for the PsiHB rules which make them more workable for my campaign, you are welcome to make use of them if they are any good for you.

Cheers

You could also use some alternate system:

As suggested inside the PDF, you could use Element of Magic to represent psionic, by restricting the spell list to charm, command, compel, Enthrall, Mass compultion, and Sight.

A spell list represent knowledge of several level of spell, so the problem of upgrading power, or the difficulties of small power list disapear.

If you want to represent a character with one power (like telekinesis or telepathy), FCTF will probably work.

The Sleeping Imperium used to have a feat and skill psionic system that nearly get to print but was canceled when the psionic handbook was released in the SRD.

Craft of the Mind IS getting updated

Just an FYI:

The Craft of the Mind system _has_ been updated. I've been meaning to flesh it out and place it as something worth buying, but I haven't found the time to do so yet.

The new system is much simpler than the original "complex" draft, but it's still got all of the flavor and feel of the original concept.
