When the FIEND FOLIO® Tome and
Monster Manual II were released, revised
encounter tables for monsters were included.
One table that was missing in both
volumes, however, was the psionic encounter
table. This article presents a new
version of this table, combining all previously
described psionic creatures from the
official AD&D® game volumes.

[Editor's note: The only new creature
from the Oriental Adventures volume that
is psionic is the ikiryo (p. 123); none of the
nonhuman player-character races listened in
that volume are psionic. Because the monster
lists for an Oriental campaign are so
different from those of a regular AD&D
campaign, the ikiryo is not included in this
expanded table.]

The table should be used in the manner
described on p. 182 of the DMG: If a periodic
roll for random encounters indicates
that an encounter occurs, and if any member
of the PC party has used psionic powers
(or spells resembling psionic powers) during
the previous turn, then there is a 25%
chance that the random encounter will be
with a creature from the following table.
Keep the surrounding environment in
mind, and re-roll if an inappropriate monster
is indicated. For instance, an aboleth
would only be found near water, and a
mind flayer would not be encountered
above ground.

Notes
1. Character Race
This can be a psionic NPC or an NPC
party with one or more psionic members.
All varieties of elven, dwarven, halfling,
and human characters are included, as
listed in the AD&D expansion volume
Unearthed Arcana. Because of this, no
separate listing is given for gray dwarves on
this table.

Of all psionic characters, 90% will be
human. Of the remainder, 5% are elven (of
any race), 2% are halfling, 2% are dwarven,
and 1% are special or unusual characters
or creatures of unique races or normally
non-psionic races (such as ogres, giants,
dragons, or orcs).
