📋 About This Mod
Githyanki characters can learn the NPC-exclusive Githyanki Parry reaction.
Also includes the Supreme Githyanki Parry.
These reactions are learned when a Githyanki player character reaches Level 6 and Level 12. This includes Lae'zel.
The NPC version of these reactions can be used once per turn, I figured this would be too powerful for the player so I created new variants that have rest limits. All other requirements match the NPC variant.
Githyanki Parry (Level 6) - Parry unarmed and weapon attacks to reduce their damage by 10.
You must be wielding a Greatsword and you can't be Incapacitated, Blinded, or Restrained.
Once per Short Rest.
Supreme Githyanki Parry (Level 12) - Parry unarmed and weapon attacks to reduce their damage by 20.
You must be wielding a Greatsword and you can't be Incapacitated, Blinded, or Restrained.
Once per Long Rest.
Installation
Import the archive into your chosen mod manager (I recommend MO2).
