Editing Gish Mindslayer (section)

==Official Fluff==
The githyanki have no greater enemy than the mind flayers who enslaved them for centuries when the race was born. Their entire culture, their very identity as a race, is built upon their hatred of the illithids, and among their greatest heroes are those who have distinguished themselves as illithid slayers. The gish mindslayer is dedicated to that mission, bringing both martial training and arcane mastery to the task of slaughtering mind flayers.

Gish mindslayers train in both a githwarrior class (often [[ranger]], but sometimes [[fighter]] or even [[barbarian]]) and a [[warlock]] clss (either [[wizard]] or [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)|sorcerer]], almost never [[bard]]). Some also take [[rogue]] levels in order to benefit from a wide selection of skill and the ability to sneak attack.

Gish mindslayers often work alone or lead small groups to hunt and slay illithids. They have a strongly individualistic (they would say "self-reliant") streak, and do not excel in larger military operations.
