You spent your early years among the monks of the Githzerai. You might be a Githzerai yourself, or perhaps you were adopted by them for reasons you do not fully understand. From the safety of your adamantine monastery, you have seen both the terrors and beauty of Limbo, and you were taught from a young age the importance of self control and discipline.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Religion
- Tool Proficiencies: One of your choice
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A book containing the sayings and teachings of Menyar Ag, a blanket, a set of travelers clothes, a tool kit, and 10 gp
Feature: Psionic Studies
Your people are sworn enemies of the mindflayers. While you may not hate them to the same extent as the Githyanki, you have still trained to do battle with them and with other psionic foes should the time arise. To this end, you are able to easily recall basic information about psionic creatures and the powers they wield.
Suggested Characteristics
You may base your characteristics off of the Githzerai traits in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes or the Hermit traits.
