Yep! All the back on Sat, 20 Jul 1996 I did up an article and posted
it to the SJ list. :0 Here it is:)

Psionics and the Races

Considering all the recent posts about Psionic helms and such,  I
thought I'd do a run down of racial level limits for Psionicists.
The first book only covered the bare bones races,  and as far as I
can tell there has not been anything since for the non-standard
races.  I basically just went for all the races in the Complete Book
of Humanoids and the Spacefarer's Handbook.  So, here goes:

Race             Max Level
Halflings            10
Gnomes               9
Dwarves              8
Half-Elves           7
Elves                7
Thri-kreen           11
Gith                 unlimited
Aarakocra            9
Goblin               8
Hobgoblin            10
Kobold               7
Lizardman, nonSJ     7
Lizardman, SJ        9
Minotaur, Krynn      12
Ogre Magi            7
Half-Orc             9
Saurial,Bladeback    12
Saurial,Finhead      9
Saurial,Flyer        9
Saurial,Hornhead     12
Wemic                8
Dracon               10
Gromman              8
Hadozee              7
Hurwaet              7
Rastipedes           7
Scro                 8
Xixchil              8

Multi-Class Combinations
(Note:Some of these are modified per the Will and the Way, and
contradict the Complete Psionicist's Handbook; I feel they add to the
game and present no game balance problems but you may differ)

Halfling:Priest/Psionicist;Thief/Psionicist;Fighter/Psionicist
