05-02-07, 01:04 PM Hey all. I'm looking for more information on the Synad, and am wondering if anyone knows where I can find it. My DM doesn't know much about the Psionic races (or classes >.<), so I can't ask her. I do have the information from 'Complete Psionic', as well as owning 'Expanded Psionic Handbook'. Thanks for any Help

05-02-07, 01:50 PM Yeah, I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. And, 'Complete Psionic' doesn't give like age and heigth and weight values. It only gives averages and stuff. *sighs*

05-02-07, 01:50 PM There's a preview article for Expanded Psionics Handbook presented in Dragon Magazine #314. The first in a series by Bruce R. Cordell, it gives a first-look at the Synad psionic race. Good luck! :)

05-02-07, 01:59 PM It can be assumed that Gorn Rujsha Mintar - The Triad (a vestige from The Mind's Eye: Three Psionic Vestiges (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20070119a)) has something to do with them.

Legend: Once long ago, a civilization of psionic mystics may have been the genesis of much of the known psionic knowledge. Their legacy spanned multiple worlds and planes due to their "glittering portals" that allowed instantaneous travel from city to city and plane to plane. Unfortunately, the very gates that allowed them to rise to greatness also doomed them to darkness. The gates functioned by passing through the Plane of Shadow and, over time, the shadows leaked into the gate and then into the travelers. Eventually, darkness consumed the mystics' cities one by one, and many of the mystics themselves became shades. Even the gods of the mystics started to be consumed by shadow.

Gorn, the god of knowledge; Rujsha, the goddess of justice; and Mintar, the god of battle, were the last three gods of the mystics, and they found themselves losing all their worshipers to shadows. When the shadows started pulling at them, they decided they had only one way to save themselves. They combined their essence into one being, and while it saved them from the shadows, it condemned them to existence as a vestige.

Perhaps synads are the survivors of this lost city. The oddities of their minds and appearance could be the result of being twisted by the shadow plane.
