SoI took the normal 3.5 Githzerai and took away all of its psionic powers including Spell resistence. So it has a +6 Dex, -2 Int, +2 Wis, base land speed 30, darkvision 60 ft, favored (Monk), LA +2.

The campaign this is for uses an alternative monk (http://faxcelestis.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=87#p460). The basic premise is that once in a great while a githzerai is born completely void of the natural aptitude for psionics. This condition is referred to by them as "being hollow."

Githzerai (Hollow)
Humanoid (Extraplanar)
+6 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, +4 Wisdom. [27 FP]
Medium size.[0 FP]
Base land speed is 40 feet. [6 FP]
Darkvision out to 60 ft. [3 FP]
1 extra feat at 1st level. [6 FP]
+2 Reflex and +1 Will saves. [6 FP]
+1 dodge bonus to AC. [4 FP]
+2 bonus to Tumble, Jump, and Balance checks. [3 FP]
Favored (Monk). [0 FP]
LA +2.


Total FP = 55 FP

And in case someone was wondering this is where I got the Feature Point value (http://yabathewhat.tripod.com/FP.pdf), which are exampled a bit on this thread, with examples (http://forums.gleemax.com/archive/index.php/t-667683.html).

What do you think?


It doesn't look overpowered to me. A level adjustment hits your hit points (which will be made up for by the boost to your armor class you'll get from the Dex and Wis bonuses), your saving throws (which Dex will help with Reflex, and Wisdom will help for Will), your attack bonus (which might possibly be partially made up for by Dexterity if you're going a finesse-ish route), and your class feature progression. Darkvision, improved movement speed, and an extra feat kind of make up for lost class features.

Overall, I wouldn't be worried using this in a game.

So here is the basic fluff and explanation for the traits:

Once in a great while a githzerai is born completely void of the natural aptitude for psionics. This condition is referred to by them as "being hollow." Because of their lack of psionic aptitude, other githzerai have a hard time viewing them as full githzerai, while they don't discriminate, they expect them to "overcome" this as though it were a disability. In this sort of environment, those that go on to adventuring usually do because they trained hard to master their body and focus their minds, more so than the average githzerai.

In their youth it can be troubling for a young hollowed githzerai to fit in with the other children. The more determined ones tend to spend most of their time training themselves to be quicker than the rest. Meditation is another form of training that these sort of hollowed githzerai perform to the extreme, they try to find meaning in a world that sees them as inferior; not out of malice, but worse out of pity.

These new features replace the spell resistance, 3/day- daze, feather fall, shatter, 11th level 1/day- plane shift
