[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 5190436, member: 8461"] The best WotC psionics book is, unsurprisingly, the [i]Expanded Psionics Handbook[/i], as it lays down the basics for the system. Check out the majority of its content over at [url=http://www.d20srd.org]The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org[/url]. In regards to [i]Complete Psionic[/i], I found it to be lackluster at best. It's not truly bad, but it brings nothing really new or innovative to the table. There are some nice feats and powers, I suspect, but it really just feels like the entire book was phoned in. I haven't read [i]Secrets of Sarlona[/i], the Eberron psionics book, so I can't comment on it. In regards to third-party books, most people regard Malhavoc Press's [url=http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=848&it=1]Hyperconscious: Explorations in Psionics[/url] to be the true sequel to WotC's [i]Expanded Psionics Handbook[/i], and not just because it has the same author. This book includes a lot more in terms of new ideas, such as re-introducing psionic combat, which standard 3.5 removed. It's a very good book. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention [url=http://www.rpgnow.com/index.php?filters=0_0_0_0_0&manufacturers_id=744]Dreamscarred Press[/url]. This small third-party company produces some of the best 3.5 psionic content I've ever seen, bar none. Notwithstanding their Mentalis Design (for non-psionic material) and Phrenic Power (for 4E material) lines, everything they've done is psionic in nature. I [b]STRONGLY[/b] recommend picking up their first book, [url=http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=744&products_id=24061&it=1&filters=0_0_0_0_0&manufacturers_id=744]Untapped Potential: New Horizons in Psionics (Expanded Version)[/url] and going from there. Beyond that, there are a few other psionics sourcebooks scattered around, but those listed above are the really big ones, and should be more than enough to start you off. [/QUOTE]
