4.0

The revision of the “Psionic Handbook” from version 3.0, this 3.5 edition update is in every way better than its predecessor. Adding psionics and psychic abilities to your Dungeons and Dragons experience is handled on every level by this book. Nine new player character races (some with level adjustments) are introduced, as are four psionic core classes: the Psion, typical wielder of ordered psychic energy; the Psychic Warrior, who blends psychic power with might; the Soulknife, who wields a blade made of psychic power; and the Wilder, whose wild emotions power all of his abilities. Psionic feats, powers, and prestige classes follow (nine prestige classes are included in the book), and psionic items and creatures round out the book. The whole structure of psionics is more balanced and easily slid into an existing campaign in this book, and the book would be a welcome addition to any campaign hunting for a bit of a psychic edge.
