Gith Subrace[edit]
Converted from 3.5e source, Polyhedron #159 – Gith History
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength, Dexterity, Constitution and Charisma scores increase by 2, and your Intelligence score increases by 1.
Breath Weapon. You can use your action to exhale fire. Each creature in a 15 ft. cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. The DC equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.
After you use your breath weapon, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
Darkvision. You have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Fiendish. Your creature type is humanoid, yet you register as a fiend to spells and other effects that detect the presence of the fiend creature type.
Hellish Resistance. You have resistance to fire damage.
Duthka’gith Psionics. You know the Mage Hand cantrip, and the hand is invisible when you cast the cantrip with this trait.
When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Hellish Rebuke spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Blur spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
When you reach 15th level, you can cast the Plane Shift spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
You can also cast any of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. When you cast them with this trait, they don't require components.
Extra Languages. You can speak, read and write Draconic and Infernal.
Level Adjustment (+1). You are stronger than a Githyanki, but advance slower. Beyond 1st level, you take a 1 level penalty. At 2nd level, you do not gain a class level or any traits from level progression.
However, at 3rd level, you progress to level 2. From level 3 on, your level is always 1 lower than it would otherwise be.
