The 4th 3.5 Core Rulebook
I've always enjoyed psionics, but this is the first version that has finally gotten it right.
The only gripe I have, other than a few typos and errors, is the fact that psionic dragons didn't make it into a Dungeons & DRAGONS book about psionics. 4 out of 5 because of that.
Just rules
For those looking for new material to get inspiration from, this is not the best thing to buy. But, it has tons and i mean TONS of new rules, feats, powers and items to enhance the D&D experiencie. The classes are very fun to play and the powers are also. Great for those looking for something new to start from.
A fabulous addition, but missing some things despite its thickness
I was really eager to add this book to my DnD library, and I'm not sorry I did. This book is a wealth of information. The psionic monsters are really interesting and well-written, and the variety of feats available could knock you over. The revamp of psionics from 3.0 was much-needed; all the classes are now much more balanced. You won't be dissapointed, and it's worth the money.
I highly reccomend getting The Complete Psionic; it gives you a few new options that could enhance your psionic characters. Complete Psionic (Dungeons & Dragons Supplement)
However, there are a few things lacking. First off, a lot of the prestige classes are almost identical. It would have been better to offer a wider variety of prestige classes, especially ones that cater to more of psion disciplines, and keep the similiar ones for a web enhancement. Also, they only give you ONE model of a psionic golem in the book, no guidelines for creating one, and no variety to choose from. This was very dissapointing and was never addressed in the errata (or The Complete Psionic, for all that matters). There were also only two racial feats available for maenads; I think they deserved a little more attention than that.
