[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 2011124, member: 232"] Brotherhood of the Spider The PDF market has really allowed the production and writings of things that would not normally see print, or at least on their own. Brotherhood of the Spider is a very small PDF that would make an addition to a larger book in the print side of things. But since PDFs are sent electronically they can be smaller and cheaper. Brotherhood of the Spider is a four page PDF. The font is a little on the small side and the book is written in a three column format instead of the traditional two column that is seen in most products. The PDF is a bit over 400 kilobytes in size making it a good size for people with slow connections to download it. There are no bookmarks in the product. However, since it is not that big it is really easy to find things. The art in the book is pretty basic. Basically there is a piece on the first page in blue and some the headings of sections and a table is also done in the same color blue. The meat of the product is a prestige class, Brotherhood of the Spider. It’s an evil prestige class that opposes Lolth. It is not Drow specific but has heavy leanings toward the Drow race with history and concept. Brian Joseph Baker is the writer and he does a good job of providing a rich history and purpose to this class. The product starts with the history and the events that lead up to the class’s creation. It is well defined but simple enough to add into a campaigns history as a discovery the players make or are told about. It could easily have been covered up for instance and few realize they exist. The class is a five level prestige class that allows the person to gain a bit of abilities. The class is not easy to get into needed 10 ranks in 4 skills, certain stats in abilities, and a specific number of levels in fighter. The attribute requirements and the levels of fighter are an odd type of requirement for a prestige class that some people like myself are not a big fan of. They seem a little clumsy as requirements but they do work. The abilities of the prestige class are pretty good: Good HD, decent skill points and class skills, saves are good and not of the usually progression, base attack bonus is also not of the usual progression, and many class abilities. Over all this is a decent product if one is using Lolth or her minion in their game. The history of the class is well written up and can add some very good plot elements into the game. The class itself is a little bit unorthodox in some of the progressions and requirements. [/QUOTE]
