Special Abilities:

• Spellcasting: The cultist increases the spellcaster level OR manifester level in the class which it used to qualify for the PrC. If it has more than one qualifying class, it chooses one of them.
• Spider Ritual: This ritual initiates the celebrant into the inner ring of Lolth's cult. To perform the ritual, the celebrant must partake of a human (or demi-human) sacrifice, drinking the victim's fresh warm blood while a Glabrezu (or higher demon) watches. The ritual costs the celebrant 4 points of Strength, and the celebrant gains the [Evil] and [Chaotic] descriptors. Furthermore, the celebrant's type changes to Aberration, and it becomes sterile. Finally, its visage becomes visibly arachnid, and it can no longer pass for its original race.
• Ability Modification: These are treated as though gained through level advancement.
• Natural Armor (Ex): The character gains the indicated bonus in addition to whatever racial Natural Armor it had before becoming a Drider.
• Bite (Ex): The Drider gains a bite attack which deals 1d4 + (Str x 1.5) damage. This attack is treated as the primary natural weapon.
• Poison Bite (Ex): Injury, Fort DC (10 + 1/2 HD + Con bonus), initial and secondary damage 1d6 Str.
• Darkvision (Ex): As the Darkvision ability.
• Transformation: The Drider's body changes into the form associated with its cult, that of a humanoid torso attached to a spider's body. The Drider becomes Large, gains a Climb speed equal to half its land speed, and gains a +4 bonus to opposed Trip checks due to its multiple legs. Its final modifications, counting the cost of the Spider Ritual, are: Str +4, Dex +2, Con +4, Int +4, Wis +4, Cha +4, AC -1, Attack -1, Natural Armor +6. Despite being Large, the Drider still only has 5 ft. natural reach.
