To use any statblock in MMIV, all you need is the book and the three core rulebooks (PHB, DMG and MM). Everything is there, and the text required isn't that much, either.Contrast with a statblock for a Githyanki Psion 4. What do you need? Well, descriptions of how power points work, psionic/magic transparancy rules, augmentation of powers, power descriptions, etc. That is a significant investment of space, for one or two monsters.Githyanki are usable in the core rules - they are in the Monster Manual - and MMIV keeps them usable in the core rules. It'd be nice to see a Complete Psionic II with advanced psionic githyanki, but I can't fault Wizards for not including psionic githyanki in MMIV.Cheers!</blockquote>
