"Fairly creative monsters with a psionic focus. It's nice to have such creatures all in one place, and they are well thought out and interesting. I judge a bestiary on its ability to inspire me to create memorable stories, encounters, or worlds and this one is strong but not amazing."

- Fairly creative monsters with a psionic focus. It's nice to have such creatures all in one place, and they are well thought out and interesting. I judge a bestiary on its ability to inspire me to create memorable stories, encounters, or worlds and this one is strong but not amazing.
- This is a great product, with psionic dragons and the Phrenics, which seem to fill in the same niche as mindflayers did in D&D. If you own Ultimate psionics- which you'll need to make use of this book - this book gives you quite a few creatures to use with it. Worth the purchase!!
- I was thoroughly impressed with this bestiary. With a handful of exceptions, the quality of it was on par with anything that I would expect from Paizo themselves. While I was not crazy about all of the creatures, nor with all of the art, I generally tend to feel that way about Paizo produced bestiaries as well, which I feel is a pretty good benchmark.
Perhaps the thing I found least appealing was certain pieces of art, though some of that stemmed from my dislike of anything resembling HR Geiger, and there was one monster in particular (and not the Cerebrilith) that was very xenomorph inspired, and not well done at that.
That having been said, I loved virtually all of the remaining art, as it was suitably creepy and amazing as needed, and often both those qualities at once.
Though I could not speak with authority on the balance of the creatures, they seemed to be well balanced for psionic parties, giving a lot more credence to the breadth of psionics in general. I loved the creatures that were updated for psionics as well, such as the Intellect Devourer, as those creatures fit perfectly well, but lack the support that make them fit in more properly in a psionics driven campaign.
One other minor quibble was the propensity for creatures to negate psionics entirely. For being a psionic bestiary, it makes sense that some creatures might be angled towards simply being a scourge, given that traditional campaigns are rife with terrible enemies that have spell resistance. However, there were numerous monsters that completely negate psionics, sometimes as an area effect. I suppose this is more of a matter of taste.
However, I did find that the book dripped with plenty of creepiness and weirdness, which I found wholly appropriate given the nature of the bestiary. I also was impressed with the range of creature types and subtypes that were present in the book, given that most psionic type creatures tend heavily towards aberrant creatures.
Overall, I was very happy with the product, and am suitably inspired to use it for reference many number of future games. Well done!
