Actions

Multiattack. The githyanki makes three Silver Sword attacks. It can replace one attack with a use of Spellcasting to cast Telekinesis if available.

Silver Sword. Melee Attack Roll: +6, reach 5 ft. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) Slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) Psychic damage. Critical Hit: If the target is in an astral body (as with the Astral Projection spell), the githyanki can cut the silvery cord that tethers the target to its material body instead of dealing damage.

Spellcasting. The githyanki casts one of the following spells, requiring no spell components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 13):

At will: Mage Hand (the hand is Invisible)
2/day each: Nondetection (self only), Tongues
1/day each: Plane Shift, Telekinesis

Bonus actions

Misty Step (2/Day). The githyanki casts Misty Step, requiring no spell components and using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting.

Githyanki knights wield silver blades to slay magic-users who use the Astral Projection spell to intrude on githyanki territories on the Astral Plane. These silver blades are sacred to the githyanki. Non-githyanki who claim these weapons often find themselves hunted by wrathful githyanki knights.
Habitat: Planar (Astral Plane)
Treasure: Armaments
