Here's a feat I was going to add to a psi-only campaign. But, since I'm scrapping the campaign (due to lack of player interest among friends), I'm just going to throw this into the psionic community:

EXTREMIST MIND [GENERAL]
When you expend all your psionic potential, your mind instinctively closes against powers.
Prerequisite: Power point reserve or limited-use psi-like abilities.
Benefit: You can take and use feats which only non-psionic creatures could use. However, you may only make use of these feats when you have expended your entire power point reserve (if any), and you have no remaining available uses of any psi-like abilities (if any).
Additionally, you also lose access to all psionic feats you possess, lose the psionic subtype, and have no effective manifester level while your psionic potential is exhausted.
You do gain a +2 bonus on all saving throws to resist powers and psi-like abilities while your psionic potential is exhausted.
Normal: You cannot take or use the following feats if you have the ability to use powers (if you have a power point reserve or psi-like abilities): Antipsionic Magic, Chaotic Mind, Closed Mind, Force of Will, Hostile Mind, Improved Hostile Mind, Mental Resistance, Psionic Hole.

I created this feat just to open up the anti-psionic feat chains to characters who chose psionic races (and thus didn't have a choice about these feats previously). It's not a powerful feat by any stretch... I threw it in basically to allow for "unusual" builds. Perhaps someone else out there could find use out of it.
