Homebrew Half-Githzerai, Half-Aasimar Species Details

A child of two powerful legacies, you are the fusion of celestial spark and psionic will—born of the Aasimar’s divine blood and the Githzerai’s disciplined dance with chaos. While most Aasimar are guided by divine law and clarity, your path diverged: you chose to embrace chaos as a force for transformation, joining a coven bent on disrupting restrictive systems.

Your Githzerai heritage taught you that chaos is not the enemy—it is raw power, waiting to be shaped. In embracing your natural abilities, you have learned to steady your mind not to resist chaos, but to harness it.

Creating Your Character

At 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race or of a fantastical race. If you select a fantastical race, follow these additional rules during character creation.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.

 

Life Span

The typical life span of a player character in the D&D multiverse is about a century, assuming the character doesn’t meet a violent end on an adventure. Members of some races, such as dwarves and elves, can live for centuries. If typical members of a race can live longer than a century, that fact is mentioned in the race’s description.

Height and Weight

Player characters, regardless of race, typically fall into the same ranges of height and weight that humans have in our world. If you’d like to determine your character’s height or weight randomly, consult the Random Height and Weight table in the Player’s Handbook, and choose the row in the table that best represents the build you imagine for your character.
