Githyanki are an ancient race of martial humanoids residing on the Astral Plane.

Class Features

Class Level: The Class Level column of the githyanki racial class table indicates whether a githyanki gains a standard class level at any given racial level. Some racial levels provide a standard class level, some racial levels provide a githyanki specific ability, and some grant both. Class levels grant all the benefits normally associated with a level increase. This includes granting another Hit Die, gaining other class abilities, and advancement in base attack bonus, base saves, and ability scores.

Githyanki Base Traits: Githyanki have the following base racial traits.

+2 Dexterity, —2 Wisdom.

Medium size: Githyanki have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Githyanki base land speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision out to 60 feet.

Automatic Languages: Common, Gith. Bonus Languages: Abyssal, Celestial, Draconic, Infernal, Undercommon.

Favored Class: Fighter.

Naturally Psionic: At 1st level, githyanki gain 1 bonus power point. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class. Power points do allow a character to make use of psionic feats and attempt to gain psionic focus.

Feat: Like every other character, a githyanki character gains one feat at 1st level and another at every Hit Die divisible by 3. These feats are in addition to any bonus feats granted as class features or any other bonus feats.

Far Hand (Ps): At 1st level, a githyanki gains the use of far hand (EPH 106) as a psi-like ability three times per day (manifester level equal to 1/2 Hit Dice, minimum 1st).

Bonus Power Points: At 2nd level, githyanki gain 2 bonus power points.

+2 Constitution: At 2nd level, githyanki gain a +2 increase to their Constitution ability score.

Psionic Daze (Ps): At 2nd level, a githyanki gains the use of psionic daze (EPH 90) as a psi-like ability three times per day (DC 10 +1/2 HD + Cha modifier). Manifester level equal to 1/2 Hit Dice (minimum 1st).

Concealing Amorpha (Ps): At 3rd level, a githyanki gains the use of concealing amorpha (EPH 85) as a psi-like ability once per day (manifester level equal to 1/2 Hit Dice, minimum 1st).

Starting at 4th level, a githyanki can use this psi-like ability twice per day. Starting at 5th level, a githyanki can use this psi-like ability three times per day.

Ability Score Increase: Upon attaining any Hit Die divisible by 4, a githyanki character increases one of his ability scores by 1 point. The player chooses which ability score to improve. The ability improvement is permanent.

Power Resistance: At 4th level, a githyanki gains power resistance equal to her Hit Dice +5.

Psionic Dimension Door (Ps): At 6th level, a githyanki gains the use of psionic dimension door (page 83) as a psi-like ability once per day (manifester level equal to 1/2 Hit Dice, minimum 1st). Starting at 7th level, a githyanki can use this psi-like ability twice per day. Starting at 8th level, a githyanki can use this psi-like ability three times per day.

Psionic Plane Shift (Ps): At 9th level, a githyanki gains the use of psionic plane shift (EPH 124) as a psi-like ability once per day (manifester level equal to 1/2 Hit Dice, minimum 1st).

Telekinetic Thrust (Ps): At 9th level, a githyanki gains the use of telekinetic thrust (EPH 135) as a psi-like ability once per day (manifester level equal to 1/2 Hit Dice, minimum 1st).
