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 the Metamind and Blade Manifester psionic prestige class variants.
