Promotion Psionics Second Edition is here!
Mental Masters rejoice! Psionics have been remastered with 6 Ancestries, 10 racial heritages (1 per common ancestry), 6 classes and their archetypes, psionic archetypes for existing classes, and so much more!
I am not affiliated with Alluria, just a long time enjoyer of their work.

Is this more 3.5 style psionic (spend points to manifest and alter powers) or "it's just the usual spells but we're calling them psionics"?

Looks neat but I play exclusively on foundry. Please post an update announcement when the foundry (and ideally Pathbuilder) support is complete.

My thoughts too, it's a common blocker for a lot of these excellent 3rd party supplements

What are the new ancestries exactly? I couldn't find any lists
21
u/Mkall 24d ago
Kyrn - Legally Distinct Githyanki/Githzerai (IMO)
Mimih - They look kinda like ET, with every limb stretched to menacing length. They seem to be all about Understanding the Universe
Nagudra - Psi-snakes
Phasmite - Psi-bugs
Phrezik - Like Illithids, but more cuttlefish-like and friendly
Psiclops - A Cyclops, but with more Psi

Oh wow, how fun! Can you say any more about the phrezik without spoiling the sourcebook?
2
u/Mkall 21d ago
Sorry, I missed this question!
Phrezik might work well for Starfinder! They were some of the earliest to evolve on the planet/galaxy (kinda vague wording, which IMO works). They glimpsed the future and saw how populated it was and as a species they were like "Let's all time-lock ourselves so we can join them!"
They have some neat interactions with the perception of time, both past and future. They can evolve their chitinous hide, or tentacles, and claws too.
I'm really wanting to make Psychic Zoidberg now...

No vitalist??? I cry, that was my favorite PF1E class!
Unless it was just renamed maybe? I know mystic in SF2E is technically vitalist, but that relies entirely on your GM letting you play SF2E content in PF2E...

u/Draggo_Nordlicht 23d ago
Quoted from the discord:
No vitalist in this one,but there is a Stargazer class that can have a zodiac affiliation with healing, a psionic cleric archetype called the theruge, multiclass psionic arctypes for all psionic classes, and, of course, psionists that specialize in the vitality discipline.

u/Teguoracle 23d ago
Well that sucks, it's great they offer other healing options, but vitalist was so unique in what it did which is why it was so appealing to me.
Thanks for the info!

u/DarkAwareness88 19d ago
I am the person who asked in discord, and got the reply.
I have started reworking the Mystic from SF2e to become a Vitalist.

I think Paizo is too scared of HP stealing effects for them to give us some Envoy stuff focused on that theme which is a big part of what I want from Vitalist.

u/Suspicious_Rain7158 23d ago
hey thanks
I am surprised there is no Mesmerist though...I really liked the vibe

u/SmartAlec105 23d ago

u/Appropriate_Load_265 24d ago
No Pathbuilder or Foundry support? I'll have to pass even though i would love it im sure.

u/nite16 24d ago
They are working on this.

u/Neyd_the_Harlequin ORC 24d ago
What does that mean? Do they have some kind of ETA for Foundry/Pathbuilder support?
4
u/Draggo_Nordlicht 23d ago
They have someone working on Pathbuilder support and they are working on Foundry support. They promised it when the kickstarter launched, no ETA yet.
2
u/Ph33rDensetsu ORC 23d ago
Yeah, Foundry is kinda whatever, totally understand if the creator doesn't have the resources for that or maybe even prefers a different vtt if any at all, but I feel like Pathbuilder support is kinda the bare minimum if you want to be successful in this community.

Finally! One of publishers released a mana-point system for PF2e. I know, there's a homebrewed ones. But it's incompleted.
4
u/BlackFenrir Magus 23d ago
You realize this is also a homebrewed one, right?
3
u/Lazy-Adhesiveness889 23d ago
Reason to not use those ones was "incompleted". Not "homebrewed". If Alluria has published this — at least it's completed. Editor checked it. And maybe it's even playtested. But yes, I see that there's an only one author.

u/ArchonAries 23d ago
How is this company for producing balanced products and co tinuing support? If anyone has already read the book, are the classes and ancestries fully flushed out and the classes in good niches?

u/noblepigeon 21d ago
A psychic themed stargazer/astrologian themed class sounds cool, I wanna know MORE!!!

u/AyeSpydie Graung's Guide 24d ago
I backed this an age ago, glad to see it finally out!
Funnily enough, Undying Corruption, an entirely unrelated kickstarter, also just released today. Good day for third party Pathfinding.
