Message: <blockquote data-quote="QuietBrowser" data-source="post: 6900679" data-attributes="member: 6855057">The Giths have always been a fairly iconic race, and they've changed a fair bit since their introduction - Githzerai used to be Chaotic Neutral, for a start, until Dak'kon the Zerth (Githzerai analogue to the Gish; a Fighter/Mage) proved so influential. Githyanki haven't had much attention, being usually just written off as the Githzerai's Always Chaotic Evil brothers, but I say nay to all alignment mechanics and fluff restrictions. Especially since the whole dark secret about Vlaakith eating he souls of potential rivals and their intense hatred of slavery is just begging for runaways and rebels, which would certainly make interesting PC [h=3]Githyanki[/h]Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Intelligence, +1 Strength or +1 ConstitutionSize: MediumSpeed: 30 feetVision: NormalHate Breaks All Shackles: A githyanki has Advantage on saving throws against the Charmed  and Stunned effects, and on saving throws to end those effects.Mind Slicer: While a githyanki is wielding a weapon that inflicts Slashing damage, once per short rest, it can spend an action to “charge” that weapon with psionic energy. Whilst charged, that weapon inflicts an additional +d6 Psychic damage on a successful strike. Maintaining this psionic charge is a Concentration effect.Pain Becomes Strength: Once per turn, when a githyanki takes damage from an enemy attack, it can spend its Reaction to make an immediate melee attack. Additionally, if a githyanki has exhausted its Mind Slicer ability, it can choose to spend one hit dice to reactivate it instead of waiting to take a short rest.Hand of Will: A githyanki can cast a variant of the Mage Hand cantrip at will, using Intelligence as its casting ability score. This variant follows all of the normal rules for Mage Hand, but the “hand” is invisible.[h=3]Githzerai[/h]Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Wisdom, +1 Intelligence or +1 DexteritySize: MediumSpeed: 30 feetVision: NormalShield of Will: A githzerai can cast a variant of Mage Armor once per long rest.
