Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kwalish Kid" data-source="post: 4295639" data-attributes="member: 446">To me, the change to driders seemed obvious. It just makes more sense to have driders as a monster that can be paired with drow to give the entire encounter a better arachnid feel.But this does absolutely nothing for DMs who are not running a campaign with this backstory. If the DMs are using the history of drider as enemy of Drow, then they don't have to change this. The histories of the monsters in the 4E MM seem to be written for the aid creation of monster groups. If you have other goals, substituting other histories is too easy. Especially if you have a lot of old gaming material that lays out that history.Because auras are used with a number of different monsters. You will probably get used to the ways auras work and so will your players. I suspect that you will have fun with them as the players struggle to keep out of the monsters' auras.Then change it.I think they can still play that role. They've moved the name of a vaguely defined mythological creature from one thing that barely resembles it to another thing that barely resembles it, essentially.Then use it!Again, you are referencing game material that you have that not everyone has. There is nothing that binds anyone to the text written in the 4E MM or any other source.I think you may be confusing Otyugh with Neo-Otyugh, their more intelligent counterparts.I urge you to continue to use the histories (and alignments) from your older products.</blockquote>
