Sell me on 'em!So, I'm starting a game at 1st level. Someone wants to play a githyanki. Clearly they will have no silver sword, there will be no pact with red dragons that the player can take advantage of, and the Astral is not likely to show up for another ten levels.Why a githyanki? What makes 'em cool? What is this player wanting to do with a githyanki in particular? Is it their dashing good looks? Is it mechanical advantages like the Int/Con stat bumps and the telekinetic leap? I'm not really into the guys (mostly I like races that have or can be presented as having several different cultures, and the githyanki seem kind of monoculture to me; same reason I don't really use drow). But I'm willing to be shown how awesome they are. Show me the greatness!</blockquote>
