Product Description
Tap into the power of the mind.
Through sheer force of will, a psionic character can unleash awesome powers that rival any physical force or magical energy. Within these pages, you will discover the secrets of unlocking the magic of the mind -- the art of psionics.
With updated and increased content, including a newly balanced psionics power system, the Expanded Psionics Handbook easily integrates psionic characters, powers, and monsters into any Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
To use this supplement, a Dungeon Master also needs the Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual. A player needs only the Player's Handbook.

 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 ( tennyo_celestia )
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.

Better than the original
Much better than the original. Flows much more logically and makes alot more sense. However, I would not recommend getting it unless you plan on psionics being a major part of your campaign.

I give up...I mean...I just give up... ( chomskyknows )
This one is 3.5 right? Hardcover. 224 pages - that's the most ever. Good enough right? WOTC is coming out with yet another hardcover psionic book on April 11, 2006, 160 pages. What the hell is that about? Psionics Handbook, Expanded Psionics, and now the most ironically entitled book I've heard since "The Closing of the American Mind" by Allan Bloom..."COMPLETE PSIONICS". I kid you not. And WOTC says it's supposed to "COMPLEMENT" the Expanded Psionics book. So if it complements that book and has 64 pages less, it's hardly frikkin' COMPLETE NOW IS IT!!!
