The original Fiend Folio from about 1980 had gish listed in the githyanki entry. See, I know that because I was a big fan of the githyanki before all of you were. So there.
Well, I have been a fan since they were in White Dwarf.
:P
Just a slight fix for ya. :)

It was in one of the issues in '79 the first guy I played with had. I have no idea which one, though.

If someone referred to a gish and fluff in the same breathe, I might have to eviscerate them with a grapefruit spoon.
Right there with you on that one.

From the Fiend Folio (1979):
If a lair is found it will house 21-30 githyanki with typical distribution as follows:-
1 supreme leader
2 captains
1 knight: 8th level anti-paladin
2 warlocks
3 sergeants
2 'gish': fighter/magic-users
10-19 lower levels: evenly distributed between the three possible classes.

Did you hear about the new splatbook out that provides all kinds of fluff to help play your twinked gish character?

I've liked 'em ever since they were invented by a Japanese guy in 1974. Of course, in those days, they called them "Monchhichis".

You dare to liken the Githyanki to Monchichis? That deserves a flagging.

I know that the term has been in use, in the wild, since at least Everquest. (The original) As, well, I had my friends hook me up with the best of the best and more money - literally - than I could carry.
