[QUOTE="reiella, post: 1474608, member: 160"] Mindscapes fits rather nicely with the XPH from what I understand as is. It's If Thoughts Could Kill that suffers more so under the changes. Ravenloft, well I'm not sure, it depends on how much they put in. If they added any powers, those most likly will need to be reworked to be a "worthwhile purchase" by the aspiring Psion. The same is true for R&R2 and Echoes of the Past. Echoes takes a bit of a hit in its Crunch section. And some in it's fluff. Specifically, the Soulknife application still works, but as a core class now, a DM will probably need to make some changes. Echoes still works greatly, most of it is fluff. The crunch just needs a little touch-up. Summary of immediate issues I can think of : Fluff campaign wise : very little work necessary, each of the psion disciplines still does what they did in 3.0, although savant is now kineticist, and not sure what if psy-met was renamed. Psionic Combat: Gone, replaced with powers of the same name. They are effective as a form of psionic combat at a glance (of the leaks so far at least). It isn't omni-prevalent however, so it may result in a Flavor Campaign change. It also invalidates some 3rd party ideas (Resculpt Mind) and attempts to 'fix' psi-combat. Character Stats : This are all borked. Full conceptual rework needed in most instances. Magic Items : Powers gone and renamed, some mechanics may not really be as feasible anymore (anything dealing with additional talent benefit). [/QUOTE]
