📋 About This Mod
Fullfill Vlaakith's promise - wield the power of a githyanki knight of old, worthy of Ascension.
In ancient times, gith knights created special weapons to combat their mind flayer masters. These silver swords channel the force of the wielder's will, dealing psychic as well as physical damage. A githyanki can't become a knight until it masters the singular discipline needed to will such a blade into existence. In the eyes of the githyanki, each silver sword is a priceless relic and a work of art. Githyanki knights will hunt down and destroy any non-githyanki that dares to carry or wield a silver sword, reclaiming it for their people.
Description
I honestly just wanted to add Githyanki Parry to the race progression - now here we are. Welcome to spreading githyanki democracy as a Hand of Vlaakith.
This is a full class, introducing new passive abilities, spells, one specific weapon that you can literally will into existence, and a suspiciously large (and red) summon. My main goal while making it was to keep it flavourful and accurate, so you can really embody the class fantasy of being eldritch knight adjacent but turned up quite a bit. The current version is tuned to feel strong without feeling like anything else is useless, buuut this was for Honour Mode with multiple difficulty mods so beware.
For maximum flavour obviously you would pick a Githyanki character but technically anyone can pick this class at level 1. This class is balanced around mono classing and giving you tons of incentive to do so, but obviously you can't fit literally every single class into one.
That being said, I promise you it's worth staying the 12 or 20 levels!
Main features
Behold, my (new) stuff:
Psionic Reminiscence - Adds Psychic damage to your attacks (sometimes) and spells (always), the actual number scales with your level. 1d4 at Level 1, 1d12 and Level 12. At level 12, you can manifest a custom silver sword.
Gish'kith'arak's Echo - Imbues a weapon with Psionic Reminiscence.
Astral Sight - Devil's Sight but githyanki themed.
All Is Ours - Regain your highest level spell slot on kill with a melee weapon.
Dragon's Might - Sets your Strength to 19 so you don't have the Paladin problem.
Silver Sword Riposte - Riposte but you don't need an extra resource.
Thought Given Form - Ignore Psychic Resistance and Immunity.
Taken Whispers - Silence targets on-hit on a failed save (DC12 Con).
Knight of the Silver Sword - Summon your personal sword from the Astral Plane.
Summon Riven - Summons your absolute behemoth of a dragon from the Astral Plane.
Installation instructions and Requirements
just use whatever mod manager you like lol
No extra requirements - all in one!
Mod Compatibility
Natively supports a variety of mods including UnlockLevelCurve and 5e Spells, although in theory it shouldn't overlap with really anything because it does not edit the game's actual files.
Will be affected by mods that edit some vanilla passives as well as mods that edit spell lists.
Shout outs
Shoutout to my wife for helping me pick things when I couldn't make up my mind lol
