[QUOTE="Dawn Raven, post: 4560466, member: 80176"] [b]Thoughts on Roleplaying Githyanki[/b] Not really sure where else to put this: Thoughts on Roleplaying Githyanki. I realized I've only been slightly, if at all, taking race into account while RPing alot lately. So I wonder, how would a Gith think? I don't know much, if anything, about their culture so I took the racial features and broke them down into some base assumptions. These assumptions I tried to also fit into the idea of the culture of the Isle of the Hanging Gallows. 1. Danger Sense: +2 Init. What exactly is a danger sense? Being as the Gith get +2 to Int also I thought that these two features might be slightly related. Its not that they're quick to recognize danger but perhaps rather a paranoid analysis of those they meet. They're always suspicious and as such, are always expecting something could go wrong. 2. +2 History. Okay, this threw me off. Githyanki may have a natural affinity for picking up the lore of places they've been to. They have a desire to travel and as such pick up things from the places they go to and of places they may wish to travel to. As such, they often compare things people say to what they know of the places those people are from. I'm not sure how to include this though really. 3. Gith Willpower: Stubbornness is a trait in and of itself. A refusal to ever give up or to let someone else push you down. A brain that can deconstruct the littlest conversation will never give in to attempts for control. [/QUOTE]
