Captain (githyanki WK)

The Captain is a Githyanki (Race) pseudo-mage/warrior/psionicist found on the Watcher's Keep Githyanki Encampment, during the Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal games.
==Gameplay==
This githyanki, armed with the legendary Angurvadal blade of yore, will shout the alarm to repel the party, as they are viewed as invaders in their lair.
The githyaki captain is the de facto leader of this encampment and will be hostile.
The creature is scripted to be able to employ several unique Psionic Ability powers that are only encountered from this particular creature. See the InfoBox for links.
The creature will defend himself and attack in melee combat and psionics to any within range.
If able, the captain will quaff a potion to heal itself at a certain damage threshold.
When defeated, the party should recover the marvelous sword he wielded and peruse the information in the scraps of writing he carried.

The Sword Coast Stratagems makes some revisions to the captain.
It changes its class to paladin with a blackguard kit. His experience level is raised to 25, and strength attribute is 22 (to approximate having buffed with Angurvadal).
Weapon proficiencies are now 2 pips in Longsword, and 2 pips in single weapon fighting style, so THAC0, damage, and attacks per round will be much better, as well as armor class.
As a blackguard he's scripted to utilize Absorb Health, Aura of Despair and Poison Weapon.
Psionic Ability use includes all the abilities from the base creature, plus Psionic Maze, Ballistic Attack, Psionic Blur and Planar Travel.
The blackguard has use of several HLA's including Whirlwind Attack, Greater Whirlwind Attack, Hardiness and Summon Fallen Deva.
And finally, two potions are retained for scripted for use to boost abilities and heal wounds.
