[Pathfinder] An experiment in Pathfinder Psionics
« on: February 24, 2012, 04:23:24 PM »
So, I've recently started playing pathfinder, on account of my group finally having a GM to run it. I was rather fond of psionics in 3.5, so imagine my joy when I found out Dreamscarred Press made a Pathfinder book for psionics.

Of course, one thing I always desired as a psion was the ability to exceed that limit on powers known, and, to use a meme here, know ALL the psionic powers.

I'm aware of some methods, some silly, to achieve this or at least most of this in 3.5 psionics, but is there a way in Pathfinder to achieve at least all the general powers known and up to 8th level discipline specific powers known as a psion?

(not PF)

Erudite fits the bill. It's a variant Psion too.
PsyRef cycling happens at level 7.

Thrallherd without Erudite kinda fits the bill.
You can do chains of Thrallherds and just
do the Psicraft 15+ checks to temporarily
know what ever power a thrall has.

Psionics Unleashed says "all DSP's 3.5e material is compatible with this", right? :p

Good enough ...

Psion that doesn't mind being 1 level or so behind,
can just make big Powerstones of whatever powers.
PHB2 retraining early, and PsyRef later to get more.
Adventure to find more psionic npcs.
Psicraft check what they've got, and then trade.

Combat powers get to stay "in",
not used so often powers go into the Powerstones.
More expensive than Erudite or Wizard or Archivist.
Linked PsyRef is faster and has more options, than E W or A.

Not to sound rude, but I did specify several times that I'm wanting Pathfinder only here.
