====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Githyanki Paragon.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' The Githyanki Paragon gains proficiency with martial weapons, heavy armor, and shields (but not tower shields).

'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting}}:''' <-Delete this section if this class does not stack with an existing spellcasting class->

'''{{Anchor|Sword of the Silver Sky}}:''' A Githyanki Paragon has been gifted with a silver longsword or bastard sword infused with the power of the Astral Plane. It's a magic weapon with an enhancement bonus of 1/3 his character level (round up), and the Ghost Touch property, and it's slightly transparent, with ripples traveling up and down the blade's length, appearing solid in some places and nearly invisible in others. If he gains sufficient renown, the crafters in the Githyanki cities will add further properties to it for him, with things like Aberration Bane and any space or time-bending properties he wants--provided he's sufficiently badass (read: high level) to be worthy of them.

Note: It's uncommon, but not unheard to see a weapon other than a sword have these properties. Usually, they're solid-piece slashing or piercing weapons with a definite handle (axes, rapiers, scimitars, etc.). The Gith craftsman say they're still working on spiked chains and flails and the like.

'''{{Anchor|Psychic Feedback}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Technically speaking, you're psychic rubber and your enemies are glue. Any mind affecting effect that you save against bounces back and hits your enemy. This can range from pointless (charm monster) to deadly (mind blast). 

'''''{{Anchor|Psionics}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):'''  The Githyanki Paragon gains the Psionics sphere at Basic Access. 

'''{{Anchor|Conduit of the Mind}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):'''  The other planar races can make snide remark about how much the Githyanki love their swords all they want. The fact is, the things are incredibly attuned to their masters. When a Githyanki is holding his own personal Sword of the Silver Sky, he has it at Advanced access because the Sword helps him channel his psionic energies more efficiently. Should he ever lose his Silver Sword by any means, it takes another one a month to attune to him. However, any Githyanki whose Sword was lost or broken can expect to be treated like his balls had suddenly fell off; i.e., a total wimp. This lasts until two months after he's got another Sword attuned to him, or until he does something awesome. Whichever comes first.

'''{{Anchor|Mind Fang}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' The Githyanki Paragon can perform a swipe (read: An attack action and can therefore be used to do a full attack) which uses the essence of the Astral inside him and his psionics to create a 'bullet' in space. This does his weapon damage which all applicable bonuses and critical modifiers, and has a 30- foot range increment, unless he's using his special Silver Sword to perform the attack, in which case it's 60-foot range increments.

====Ex-Githyanki Paragon====

Betraying the Githyanki society is pretty much the only thing that will get you kicked out, and then any Githyanki who's heard about it will try to kill you when they meet you.

====Playing a Githyanki====

'''Religion:''' The Gith do not revere any Gods, and would balk at the thought of being slaves to another being (in the Githyanki's case, a being who was not one of their own). The Githyanki revere their Lich-Queen Vlaakith, and when the Githzerai revere something it's usually memory of Zerthimon, who freed them from the Illithid and led them to Limbo.

'''Other Classes:''' They really don't have much opinion, as long as you're good at what you do.

'''Combat:''' The Githyanki Paragon is an assault specialist, having both melee and ranged attacks and a bag of tricks from the Psionics sphere.

'''Advancement:''' Githyanki Paragons can go into Samurai or some other martial class just fine.
