Inertial Armor (Ps): At 3rd level, a githzerai gains the use of inertial armor (EPH 113) as a psi-like ability three times per day (manifester level equal to 1/2 Hit Dice, minimum 1st).

Power Resistance: At 4th level, a githzerai gains power resistance equal to his Hit Dice +5.

Concussion Blast (Ps): At 4th level, a githzerai gains the use of concussion blast (EPH 85) as a psi-like ability once per day. Manifester level equal to 1/2 Hit Dice (minimum 1st). Starting at 5th level, a githzerai can use this psi-like ability twice per day. Starting at 6th level, a githzerai can use this psi-like ability three times per day.

Ability Score Increase: Upon attaining any Hit Die divisible by 4, a githzerai character increases one of his ability scores by 1 point. The player chooses which ability score to improve. The ability improvement is permanent.

managed to tap into a spark of psionic power within themselves, however, and used that new ability to escape and find their own paths. For the most part, half-giants have human sensibilities. They are curious, interested in cooperation and communication, and have a general tendency toward kindness. They are quick to pick up the morals, customs, and habits of the areas in which they settle.
