Next Month: Githzerai

[avin]

Quick question: 2E "Monstrous Manual" had a "Gith" that wasn't Zerai or Yanki, right? Where that come from?

I'm not sure of the conclusion you've reached. The Githzerai historically have been Monks and their MM PC write-up has their ability score bonuses lining up perfectly with the Centered Breath Monk style that was previewed earlier, +2 Dex, +2 Wis. I fully expect that to stay the same in their PH 3 write-up.

I guess you don’t have access to DDI? The Dragon article on the Psion was rather clear:

“Mike: bla bla bla… In D&D terms, going with Intelligence also provided a better match with races that seemed like they should excel at the class, such as eladrin, devas, and githyanki.”

Or does that somehow say Githyanki’s wont have an Int bonus?

You're both saying different things.

Kez Darksun is referring to githZERAI, a +2 Dex +2 Wis race.

You are referring to githYANKI, a +2 Int +2 Con race.

They're degenerate savages that fill the goblin/orc niche.

Wait I thought Gith was the name of the gun tote'n hippo people from Spelljammer?

What was their name?

I'm less concerned with seeing the full racial writeup as I am knowing what races and classes are in the book. UGH. I miss the speculation! Where are the "Number and starting letters of the races" we got for PHB2?

HURRY UP GENCON.
