You were captured in a Githyanki raid and for longer than you can remember, you have traversed the Astral Sea as a slave to the Githyanki. There, in the Silver Void, you stopped aging and no longer felt hunger or thirst. You have lost count of the decades that have passed since you were taken and force into labor by the Githyanki. However, by divine intervention, strength of will, or dumb luck, you have escaped your bonds and your decisions are now yours.
- Skill Proficiencies: You have learned whatever you can with your ample time as a "guest" of the Githyanki.
- Tool Proficiencies: You were taught a skill and expected to put it to use.
- Languages: You were force to learn the language of the Githyanki, there was no compromise.
Forced to work in a variety of harsh environments, you gain the Tough feat from the Player’s Handbook. In addition, you learned how to adapt to zero gravity. Being weightless doesn’t give you disadvantage on any of your melee attack rolls (see “Weightlessness” below).
WEIGHTLESSNESS
In any location where gravity isn’t present, the following rules apply:
Impeded Melee. When making a melee attack with a weapon, a creature that doesn’t have a flying or swimming speed (either naturally or provided by magic) has disadvantage on the attack roll unless the weapon deals piercing damage.
Movement. A creature can use an action to push off something heavier than itself and move up to its walking, flying, or swimming speed in a straight line. The creature continues along this course, moving in a straight line at its speed on each of its turns until something stops it or changes its trajectory.
You are 20d6 years older than you look, because you have spent that much time in the Astral Sea without aging.
