Githzerais are messed up(?)

[Yona]

Their favoured class is monk, anyhow they get penalty to wisdom AND strenght, which are both very important for monks.

While checking Monsters Manual, I noticed that they get bonuses to dex and wisdom, penalty to intelligence. That fits more to their favoured class. And they are ECL 3 here, if you compare it to, f. ex. drows, they get all important stat bonuses and not much losses.

Is there a reason behind this or something... *cries*

I have tried to make 3 new chars in the past few days and enterd my sub-race as Githzerai, but when i log in it changes me to human automatically. Just wondering if ne1 else was having this problem?

[DrakhanValane]

Are you trying to make a non-neutral Githzerai? You must be nuetrally aligned to be one.

[kagato3]

I believe it was ne aligned but im not sure ill check that out. Thx for the reply.

Did you try doing it by typing in the subrace at character creation, or by using the in-game menu that comes up right after character creation?

The in-game menu is the more reliable of the two methods. Damned if i can generally remember how to spell "svirfneblin" to save my life...

[Quiett]

Are you trying to use the same name as a character already in your account? If you do, It erases the original character ,and replaces it with the one you just created. but you can't choose a sub-race if youi do that.

[JesterOI]

I don't think it erases the old character, because I did this one time and a DM just changed the name of one of them and they were both still there.

[DrakhanValane]

If you do... it just gets ugly. Don't do it.
