Illus. Kieran YannerHyperconscious Overview
By Bruce R. Cordell
Cover by Kieran Yanner

Hyperconscious is the new psionics adventure-sourcebook by D&D psionics guru Bruce R. Cordell, author of the Psionics Handbook and Expanded Psionics Handbook. We're offering the electronic edition in two versions. The 160-page version (below, at left) offers not only the new adventure for 7th-level characters and its associated new psionic classes, feats, items, and powers, it also contains all the rules from Bruce's previous Malhavoc psionics books (Mindscapes and If Thoughts Could Kill) updated to v. 3.5 and fully compatible with the Expanded Psionics Handbook. If you are interested in only the all-new material, you want the 64-page version of the book (at right). Look for both versions of Hyperconscious available in electronic edition on July 8. (Upgrades and updated 3.5 versions of Mindscapes and If Thoughts Could Kill will also be available at that time.)
