Progenitor of the Gith (3.5e Prestige Class)
From D&D Wiki
Progenitor of the Gith[edit]
| “ | I’ve spent five years as a slave to brain-eating geniuses, fighting every day in the pits for their amusement, killing beings culled from dozens of planes. Do you really think this crap impresses me? | ” |
The Illithid are slavers extraordinaire, masters of the mind control and capable of traveling far in their search for slaves. To escape their clutches, one must become a creature as powerful as them, and some do so by absorbing the ambient psionic radiations of their cities and becoming a more than mortal creature. In this way, the Githzerai and Githyanki earned their freedom, and this route is still open to those willing and capable of surrendering their essence in exchange for communion with the Astral Plane.

Playing a Progenitor of the Gith[edit]
Any Progenitor has memories he or she doesn't want. It's very likely that a Progenitor is an emotional wreck, plagued by nightmares and his own memories.
Combat: You've got Full BAB, so you can mix it up in melee well enough. But your real advantage comes from your spell-like abilities. Thanks to Dimension Door, you can appear right next to anyone who's trying to attack from range and ruin their day. Telekinesis is a very handy all-purpose ability, and once you get Plane Shift, you can send an offending opponent to the unpleasant plane of your choice.
