Githzerai
The githzerai are a once-human species that dwell primarily on the plane of Limbo. Githzerai are naturally possessed of psionics and some magic resistance. They tend to train in martial combat and many fight as monks.
Githzerai society is very monastic and introspective. Many githzerai train as Monks, while others choose to lose their natural magic resistance and become Wizards. Some multi-talented githzerai become zerths, blending magic, combat, and psionics into their fighting. The zerths also hold special significance as religious leaders in githzerai society. Like their cousins and enemies, the githyanki, githzerai often form hunting bands for the purpose of seeking out and destroying the hated illithids.
The githzerai dwell mostly in the chaos of Limbo, using their natural psionic abilities and mental focus to form the swirling chaos of the plane into great fortresses and monestaries.
