They congregate in hidden monastic settlements across the Elemental Chaos and in remote corners of the world. The githzerai and githyanki were once a single race enslaved by the mind flayers until they won their freedom, at which point a schism formed and the free gith turned on each other. After much bloodshed, the githyanki retreated into their abbeys and disciplined their minds and bodies to better themselves. They are formidable psychic warriors and maintain a deep-seeded hatred for mind flayers and their githyanki kin. ==Githzerai Racial Traits== * ''Abilities'': +6 to Dexterity, +2 to Constitution, +2 to Wisdom, -2 to Intelligence.
