Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
Given what I know about the D&D community, there almost certainly has to be something like this.
Anyone know some links to an index of all psionic powers, or about psionic resources in gerneral?We are not standing on the shoulders of giants, but on very tall tower of other dwarves.

Well, the SRD(SRD) has a psionic section.

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
Actually, I suspect what he's looking for is something that tries to be more exhaustive, like the Crystal Keep summaries, which (regretably) do not cover psionics. The SRD is not exhaustive and omits numerous powers from WotC sources.
I've wanted to find a comprehensive listing, too.

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
The best I can think of is the Complete Psionic, which lists both its own new powers and those found in the XPH on the classes' power lists. Nothing beyond that, though.
- Chameleon Base Class [3.5]/[PF]: A versatile, morphic class that mimics one basic party role (warrior, caster, sneak, etc) at a time. If you find yourself getting bored of any class you play too long, the Chameleon is for you!
- Warlock Power Sources [3.5]: Making Hellfire Warlock part of the base class and providing other similar options for Warlocks whose powers don't come from devils.

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
I had a thread on some site with all powers/items/books bookmark'd. I deleted that bookmark earlier this week. But there IS one (even including 3rd party stuff, labeling them as 3rd party), you just need google-fu

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
The powers are good, but there are bad rules added to XPH core powers (stealth errata).
There is much good in CP, but they made it lukewarm with bad stuff.
Think of it like walking to school without a umbrella (no raincoat) while raining.
Sure, you get some education/hand with friends there, but you got soaked.

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
I think the biggest complaint that people have about CPsi is the change that states that you can only have one Astral Construct at a time. Oh, and they changed the Augmentation/DC ratio of a couple powers (while, weirdly, leaving the same ratio in place for a few other powers), which I can see as being obnoxious.
I still like CPsi. There's a good handful of crap in it (did we REALLY need a feat to turn a mind blade into a dwarven urgrosh?!), but there's enough good stuff to put it on par with the rest of the Completes, as I see it. (Ardent, Linked Power, Practiced Manifester, Anarchic Initiate, Soulbow, and a lot of the new powers are all worth your time.)In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was Suck: A Guide to Truenamers

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
Some of the newer powers in CompletePsi are pretty good. Of all the sourcebooks I have, I don't see much in the way of new psionic powers (though from what I've heard Ebberon has some interesting Psionic options, but I don't own anything outwith the main book and the Races of Ebberon book).
To my knowledge, the new powers listed in other splats are in Complete Psi anyway.

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
Thinking of it, I think any really wakky psionic powers I've heard of, are from Eberron books.

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
Does anyone know about good third party psionic books? I think there was one that's mentioned on many occasions, but I don't remember its name.

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
I like the Illithid heritage feats in CPsi but sadly one of them is broken (in that they don't list rules for it)

Re: Psionic Powers Compendium/Index?
Dreamscarred Press are the ones who made Hyperconscious. There's also The Mind's Eye, an official web-enhancement for psionics in general (though check the dates; some of the articles are pre-3.5).
There's also my psionic powers revision, which I made to clean psionics up a bit, and give it considerably more to play with in lieu of all the splatbooks everyone else gets. (I cut out all the breakable loopholes I could find, though I made sure to keep some nifty [but non-broken] tricks available. )
People seem to think it's balanced and fun.Last edited by Lycanthromancer; 2009-09-12 at 11:47 AM.
