    Question Missing Link

    What happened to thri-kreens? I was looking up something about psionics on srd and d&d wiki and there was no trace of them. No racial feats, description, nothing. Are they erased from their dnd existence or what?
    Many tnx to Sgt. Pepper for my new avatar!

    Thri-kreen are considered product identity by WotC, and thus do not appear in the SRD.

    Ooh, didn't know that. Do we know why? I mean, they arent iconic like beholders or mindflayers. There just bugmen.

    Well, I can guess....

    Some really hasty research says that Thri-Kreen were first introduced in 1982, significantly before WotC acquired D&D. It's possible WotC simply didn't have the kind of ownership/license necessary to legally release them under the OGL.

    I homebrewed some way back when for a PbP, there's also an 'official' set in Complete Psionic, though as I recall that wasn't in the normal sense of racial levels, with getting your first class level before having all of your LA/HD finished.
    Man this thing was full of outdated stuff.
