The Psionics Handbook is a sourcebook published by Wizards of the Coast in 2001 for the 3rd edition of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
The first chapter describes the two main branches of psionic characters, Psions and Psychic Warriors.
[2] In comparing the sourcebook to the revised edition, Kevin Kulp, for the Dungeon Masters Guild, wrote that "the change in psionics rules was almost universally welcomed by psionics fans, who felt that the previous rules had not allowed them enough flexibility or power.
In striving toward balance, the original 3e Psionics Handbook may have erred on the side of creating weak player characters".
[5] A copy of Psionics Handbook is held in the collection of the Strong National Museum of Play (object 110.2543).
