Has anybody seen or created a new feat for the Soul Knife / Soul Bow to remove the restriction on the list of weapon enhancements that they may choose from?

There was an issue of Dragon magazine which had feats to add new enhancements to the list.

They went something like...
FIREY SOUL [PSIONIC]
The fire in your soul ignites your mind blade
Prerequisites: Shape Mind Blade
Benefit: Add the following enhancements to the list of enhancements available to your mindblade - flaming, flaming burst

If you look through the stickies, you should be able to find a thread called "List Of 3.5 Psionics Outside The XPH." The issue of Dragon I'm talking about should be listed there, with the issue number.

thanks. I'll look that up now. But do they include the full list of weapon modificatiosn? I see no reason I shouldn't be able to create a feat if one doesn't exist.

Would it seriously over power the character to have a wider selection of weapon mods?

I don't recall. However, I doubt there were feats for all the weapon enhancements. There are a lot of weapon enhancements.

You can always create your own feats. That's part of the beauty of table-top roleplaying games like D&D. They're eminently customizable.

I don't think it would be unbalanced to allow any weapon enhancement to be applied to mindblades. The existing list of weapon enhancements available to the soulknife seems to have been put to together out of consideration for the flavor of the class. Other classes that get free magic weapons (or nearly free, like the kensai) don't have this restrictions. WotC has even published a variant Psychic Warrior who gets a free magic weapon (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20070214a), and it doesn't have that restriction.
