Homebrew Half-Githzerai Species Details

As a half-githzerai you'll have access to psionic abilities. When under distress, your connection to Limbo will cause some strange and random wild magic to occur. Can take on a human skin color or the gith skin tones of red, yellow, or a shade of brown. Ears pointed, not dissimilar to an Elf, but serrated in the back. 

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
Age. As with githyanki, it is difficult to tell a githzerai’s true age, same for a half-gith, though the reasons are far different. Githzerai reside on the chaotic plane of Limbo, a plane that answers to the will of the sentient beings that reside there. Though creatures age in Limbo it is suspected that the strength of the githzerais’ will can allow it to survive decades, if not centuries, longer than it would living on the Material Plane. If born and raised on the Material Plane, scholars believe githzerai would reach maturity around the age of 16 and could live as long as 150 years.
Alignment. tend to be Lawful Neutral. Their Githzerai parent likely bestowed their values upon their children. Be the order within the chaos, and they would rather die than be endentured to another master.  
Size. Though slighter of build and slightly taller than humans, githzerai possess equivalent muscle strength but lighter mass. This muscle-to-body-mass ratio grants them sometimes shocking agility and speed. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Innate Psionics. You gain the mage hand cantrip. The hand summoned by this spell is invisible. In addition, choose one of the following spells: feather fall, jump, or shield. You may cast the chosen spell once per long rest. At 3rd level, you may select a second spell from the list. At 5th level, you may cast see invisibility once per long rest. These spells are considered psionic powers, therefore you may cast them without the use of material components. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability with these spells.
Telempathic. You gain proficiency with either Insight or Perception checks (your choice)
Languages. You speak, read and write Gith as well as one other language (typically Common).
