[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 6278588, member: 1165"] I'm a fan of driders being a blessing rather than a curse. In a game where ability scores of monsters are important (3e, 5e) driders are more powerful. And even in 4e, they're a cool way of widening the drow "roster". One of the things I liked about MM1 4e were the suggested encounter groups. (MV dropped that, but included far more fluff to make up for it.) Driders could act as a type of cavalry, alongside spider-riding drow and lizard-riding drow. It means if you go into the Underdark and know you'll be facing drow, you still might not know what exactly you're facing. Clan A might have lots of spider-riders getting combat bonuses from priestesses. Clan B might have drider sorcerers, who spider climb up the wall and fire lightning bolts at you. In 4e, driders and drow cover the same range of levels, so they can work together pretty well without forcing the DM to create new monsters. [/QUOTE]
