Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ripzerai" data-source="post: 3445727" data-attributes="member: 38324">The stats for githzerai as a PC race in the Planescape boxed set were different from the stats for githzerai as a monster in the Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix (and in the Monstrous Manual). From ability scores to planeshifting and psionics, a lot was dropped to make them playable as PCs. This is true of bariaurs as well. Bariaurs as monsters had seven hit dice, while bariaurs as PCs only had one. This was just something you were supposed to ignore. There were various fan-created explanations for why githzerai who were exiled from the presence of the Wizard-King lost the ability to planeshift, but the absence of their psionics was just ignored. Most githzerai NPCs in Planescape were statted as if they were PCs rather than monsters, so the monster stats didn't get used a lot. But they existed.</blockquote>
