[Psi] Replacing Attack/Defense Modes?

[James McMurray]

Psionic combat in 3e is complete crap. Chuck the attack and
defense modes. No psionicist in their right mind (pun intended) would
ever use them anyways (except of course for Mind Blast).

I would highly suggest against letting them trade for feats though. Resculpt mind basically allows a character to trade one feat and 5 failry useless abilities at 3rd level for 5 feats: one at 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th.

Trading for powers might not be too bad.
