Some old psionic PrCs grant class features which are no longer exist. What's to do with them?
1) Mental hardness
*Mental hardness reduces total ability damage dealt by successful psionic attack.
Class in question: Psi-Hunter (Dr#281) - otherwise decent gish PrC, but, since he supposed to fight psionics, he got scaling MH as part of his Mental Defense CF
2) Psionic attack and defense modes.
In 3.5 there is no more such thing, so they all become a "normal" psionic powers (except the Mind Blast).
Classes in question: Cerebral Assassin (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20030207b), Truth Seeker (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20020623c), Illithidkin (Dr#296)
3) 0-level Powers.
In 3.0 there was a 0th level of psionic powers. They cost 1 pp, just like a 1st level powers, but psionic characters could use 0-lP for free ((class level)+something)/day.
In the 3.5 some of them were updated as 1st (sometimes, even 2nd) level powers, but larger part are still not updated.
For example, Aleithian Dwarves (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psb/20030926a) are part of 3.5, but their PLA Finger of Fire is not. :smallamused:
Classes in question: Arch Psion (http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20021122b), Ballisteer (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20030426b), Cerebral Assassin, Crystalsinger (http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20011123b), Diamond Warrior (http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20020927b), Kineticist (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20030328b), Mindknight (http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/re/re20020819a), Ruby Disciple (http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20030124c), Shadow Mind (http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20021025b) - all those classes add "extra free uses of 0-lP"; Truth Seeker explicitly grant his one free uses; and Illithidkin gets extra 0-lP known (and 0th-level only)
