[XPH] did they drop psychic combat?

[EricNoah]

Some of the "attack" modes are telepathic attacks that deal direct hp damage. And some of the "defense" modes are immediate-action powers that grant you SR (or PR I guess it is) vs. mind-affecting powers. I like how that works.

Actually, I really dig the "immediate" action powers in general -- it just makes a lot of sense that you might have a defensive power you can raise instantly when you need it but only lasts a short amount of time.

1: Just how good is Mindscapes? It is being redone & brought up to 3.5 standards with a new title: "Hyperconscious: Explorations in Psionics".

Hyperconscious is an adventure/sourcebook. It is not a reprint of Mindscapes. I expect based on this and the page count that you will need the original Mindscapes to make use of the 3.5 revisions contained in Hyperconscious.

That said, there's also going to be an update for the Mindscapes PDF on July 8.
