Githyanki (3.5e Race)

Githyanki

Githyanki are tall, gaunt humanoids with pale yellow skin and a natural talent for psionics.

Please note: the statistics given here are intended to represent psionic githyanki with their abilities scaled back to reasonably be an LA0 race. However, they are not intended to differ meaningfully from the perspective of how they fit into a world. For official, detailed information about githyanki, consult the Monster Manual (page 128) and Expanded Psionics Handbook (page 11).

Racial Traits

• +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, –2 Wisdom: Agile and hardy, githyanki tend to be impatient and overconfident.
• Humanoid (Extraplanar, Psionic): Githyanki are native to the Astral Plane, and so are treated as extraplanar so long as they're on the Material Plane.
