Basically, he always wanted to play a character that was a cute, naive young girl by day and a vicious psychopath by night, with the two personalities entirely unaware of one another. That can be played in interesting ways, but he never did. He played that archetype in 3 different games I was aware of, so I got pretty sick of it and am going to let that archetype rest for a few years before I GM for that kind of character again.Yup, I'd expect a Githzerai to be a planar, so he can definitely be a planar.I put that suggestion in there for a couple of reasons:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Fantastical stories (usually) require at least one relatively mundane character who shares many of our judgments as an audience. Arrested Development needs Michael Bluth; A New Hope required a farmboy protagonist; Doctor Who doesn't work without the companion.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">It's a lot more fun to discover the setting with fresh eyes, rather than rolling a lot of knowledge checks.</li> </ol>I suggested playing a prime because I think it'll be more fun for most kinds of characters, but you've got an idea that works better as a planar, so rock on with your bad self.</blockquote>
