Shannon Appelcline commented that the first product line for Fourth Edition Dungeons & Dragons was "a set of 'power' books, beginning with Martial Power (2008), which offered new options for players, organised by the new power sources of D&D. Primal Power (2009) and Psionic Power (2010) would focus on new power sources, after each had been introduced in the Player’s Handbook published earlier the same year." [1] : 300
Viktor Coble listed the entire Power series - including Martial Power , Martial Power 2 , Divine Power , Arcane Power , Psionic Power, and Primal Power - as #2 on CBR 's 2021 "D&D: 10 Best Supplemental Handbooks" list, stating that "What sets the power series apart – besides their updated rules – is how they translate really well to 5e. Whereas, the "Complete" series needs a little more work. The rules have both been pared down and expanded upon in this guide, which makes picking up a copy for whatever type of character is most in favor worth it." [2]
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, psionics are a form of supernatural power similar to, but distinct from, arcane and divine magic.
