If Thoughts Could Kill (d20)
A mythic psionic artifact known as the Crystal Consiousness cycles toward awareness as it did once before¸ ages ago. Previous Waking Events gave rise to the psionic disciplines known today¸ while its coming erased other disciplines¸ now long forgotten. As the artifact awakens¸ your characters strive against rival groups to find it and prevent a momentous psionic paradigm shift - or manipulate it to suit their own ends.
"The full-length adventure in If Thoughts Could Kill uses the psionic rules from Bruce's Psionics Handbook. In addition¸ fully one-third of the book contains even more rules¸ including three new psionic creatures (such as the psionic lich and the kureshim¸ a PC race)¸ nine completely new powers¸ new feats¸ items¸ and variant rules¸ and even an all-new psionic prestige class¸ the Colorless Adept. It also offers the new discipline of Psychonecromancy and more than 300 new powers converted from spells in the Player's Handbook and The Book of Eldritch Might.
In this companion piece to the popular Psionics Handbook¸ player characters find themselves caught up a world-shaking event. In addition¸ fully one-third of this accessory adventure details all-new rules from Bruce Cordell¸ the designer who brought you the official psionics cap system.
