D&D General Have Githzerai always been jerks?

[coolAlias]

Pretty sure individuals can choose to be a jerk irrespective of alignment, and groups of individuals seem to have an even greater propensity to be jerks.

I mean, pretty much every humanoid group in D&D are jerks to somebody, Githzerai just take it to the next level and are jerks to everybody.

I'd say such equanimous treatment of others is well-suited to a Lawful alignment.

Actually, the first word that inevitably comes to mind when I see lowkey13 is "paladin".

Same. In vivid gnomish rapier glory. Generations from now, historians will mistake lowkey13 as an important figure in Paladin history.

Githzerai have even been jerks to other Githzerai from the beginning

I am so happy he got retconned out of existence in 5E and replaced with someone more appropriate

"Hey, Githzerai? Rather than give you a less interesting version of the Githyanki's leader, let's just get rid of him and use his name for someone else, aight?"

They were invented by George RR Martin. You have no idea just how lucky we have it.

No, they were invented by Charles Stross, who borrowed a name fro Martin.

I kinda wondered if anyone was going to catch that. Joke worked better with the error.

This sounds like a bad Isaac Asimov short story.

"After the long nuclear winter, the few survivors emerged, and worshipped LOWKEY13 as patron saint of gnomish paladins based on their incomplete records ...."

What do you mean "bad"?
