Planning on using this in an upcoming campaign, but wanted to ask for clarification because I couldn't find anything in the book...

Does using psychic powers cost strain in the same way magic does? Wasn't able to see anything about power cost in the supplement as is, and just wanted to clarify.

By default you don't take strain. I didn't want to impose a penalty just for using a psychic ability. Players have the option of choosing the 'Nose Bleed' Talent if they want to have the classic psychic character suffering damage as they push their powers.

That being said you can treat it like magic and include a strain cost if you want to make using a psychic power more a tactical choice or if you're balancing a group with non-psychics.

I hope you have a good campaign!

Hey, my group and I are using your book in our upcoming campaign but we ran into an interesting question with Nose Bleed.
Do you have to declare the use of Nose Bleed and the amount of strain you want to take before rolling your PSI skill? Or can you do it after the roll but before the results are finalized?

I would allow it to be used after the roll as it fits the idea of 'pushing' your abilities (and your body) further to obtain the result you want. Of course you can also do it before, if you want to ensure success.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
