question about psionic reference material

[superkurt13]

Pardom me if this is a dumb question but I'm pretty new to playing. When I started a few months ago I thought the only books for psions were the XPH and CP. In another thread I just heard about another book, Hyperconscious, and I was wondering if there might be any more books out there that I don't know about. Are those the only three or are there any others? Also, other than XPH and CP, are any of the others worth getting (do they have any cool PrCs, powers or feats)? Thanks

Hyperconscious is not an official WotC book; it was written by one of the writers of XPH (Bruce Cordell), but was printed under a different company (Malhavoc Press, owned/run by another D&D author, Monte Cook). However, given the author, it does mesh well with official material.

Otherwise, there are various other official books out there with a smidgen of psionic material. Player's Guide to Faerun & Magic of Incarnum both have a page or two concerning pisonics, for example.

IIRC, over on the Wizards message boards, in the Psionics forum, there is a thread with a complete (or nearly complete) list of what is in what book.

You have the big three right there. And, in order of how I would buy them is:

1. XPH
2. Hyperconscious
3. Some other book besides CPsi. [I'm biased, though, so feel free to ignore #3]
