Wait ...
If Lae'zel is "just regular Githyanki" ...
then Karlach is "just regular General from Hells" laugh
and Astarion is "just regular Vampire Spawn" laugh
Wyll is "just regular folkhero", that is so common that you can even have whole group of them in multiplayer. :-/

What is so extra ordinary about them?
Yes, they are not comonly met in Faerun ... but so are Githyanki. O_o

Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown
