Psi Rookies Rebalanced WotC

This mod is more or less a ripoff of Pegazul's Psi Rookies mod (done with permission), but with an attempt to alter and rebalance the class somewhat. Psi Ops were clearly never designed to be a base-game class available from the start, nor was their skill tree really designed to be levelled up through. Consequently, they're MASSIVELY overpowered in the lower levels and kind of overpowered overall, what with getting two offensive skills at Squaddie rank.

What this mod does:
*Creates a new XCOM soldier class called the "Gifted" which is available from the start and levels up like any other class, with Psychic abilities for its Skills (that's Pegazul's mod entirely).
*Removes the Soul Steal ability altogether. That's far too much healing for one soldier to have.
*Moves Soulfire from Squaddie rank to Sergeant rank in place of Soul Steal.
*Lowers Soul Steal damage for the weaker Psi Amps. The base game values are 5, 6, 7 (+/- 1) for the Conventinal, Magnetic and Beam amps. The new values are 3, 5, 7. Same damage at high level where it's balanced, considerably less in the low levels where it's not.

*NOTE* This mod is a copy of my other Psi Rookies Rebalanced mod, but adapted to work for War of the Chosen. Due to the new format for defining classes in the expansion, updating the old mod would have made it unuseable in Vanilla. If you're not playing War of the Chosen, please use the old mod - it still works just fine.
