[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 9672484, member: 779"] Anyways here's some of the existing Psionic species from before that I can remember: [B]Githyanki:[/B] featured in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes [B]Githzerai:[/B] featured in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes [B]Elan:[/B] from 3.5e and a Paragon Path or something in 4e, Humanoids that became Aberrations and replaced their physiology with psionic energy [B]Shardmind:[/B] from 4e, crystalline beings that probably were about as well received as Wildren in 4e [B]Kalashtar:[/B] featured in Eberron: Rising from the Last War and Eberron: Forge of the Artificer [B]Xeph:[/B] from 3.5e, does seem too close to the Githzerai [B]Synad:[/B] from 3.5e, with their triple hive connected minds, might actually be Tiraphegs from 1e that have adapted a more humanoid form. [B]Dromites:[/B] from 3.5e, Halfling sized insect-like Humanoids they're possibly Monstrosities now [B]Thri-Kreen:[/B] featured in Spelljammer in 5e [B]Half-Giants:[/B] probably just the Goliath equivalent to the Athasian Humanoid Giant, in much the same way Goliaths are related to Stone, Hill, Cloud and other Giants. Beasthead Goliaths could be a new variety if they're going down that path. [B]Blue:[/B] from 3.5e but never full PC race, but I think they'd just be normal Goblins (in a lot of 5e books as a species) who have any sort of psionic ability. Could mean a Goblin Rogue suddenly gets blue skin once reaching 3rd level when becoming a Soulknife. [B]Gem Dragonborn:[/B] from Fizban's Treasury of Dragons [B]Maenad:[/B] from 3.5e, humanoids who can scream and have glitter on their skin. Not much in common with the Maenads of Greek mythology.
