The Expanded Psionics Handbook is a sourcebook by Bruce Cordell for the 3.5 edition of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game that contains a multitude of rules and options for integrating psychic powers (a.k.a. psionics) into the D&D game. Along with its 3.0 predecessor, the Psionics Handbook, the Expanded Psionics Handbook expands and adapts the psionics concept with a new emphasis on balance and playability.

Contents

The Expanded Psionics Handbook builds on the original by introducing two more new Base Classes, alters some rules and includes a new system for becoming psionically focused. Base classes in this book include the psion and psychic warrior, the wilder, and the Soulknife. There are also several prestige classes. They are the Cerebremancer, Elocater, Fist of Zuoken, Illithid Slayer, Metamind, Psion Uncarnate, Pyrokineticist, Thrallherd, and the War Mind.
