[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8423189, member: 7032025"] Uh no, it's not. Mind Flayers and Beholders are there, but using spelljamming ships, not as random encounters. Which important pieces ? How is it a mess ? Actually it's good because it makes them very scary. Not only can they raid any place at any time without coming in physically, but they have special powers in the astral plane, totally different from anything that you can find in normal space, in particular their movement speed there and the silver swords. Putting them as other pirates is a bit sad and once more reduces possibilities. There are enough other races that can come in to raid from the void if you want, why would you want to steal the Githyankis for this, when their lore in the Astral plane is well established and works very well ? The Astral Plane and the Phlogiston have totally different functions, and actually one of the interesting thing about the Astral Plane that you will not find in Spelljammer is that duality of spiritual and physical that makes it very interesting in itself, and that the GIthyankis use to good effect. I am very certain that you have no statistical information about this, and most of the ideas that I've seen in that directions are as misinformed as yours. 4e simplified the whole multiverse, but for a lot of people it's over simplification and the loss of possibilities.
