Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trickstergod" data-source="post: 4423164" data-attributes="member: 10825">All right, here's the deal for everyone who thinks it's a blessing: I'm going to chop off the lower half of your body, replace it with an oversized spider-body - genitals and all - and then we're going to parade you down the street to see how everyone reacts to it. It's a curse, plain and simple. It doesn't matter that it comes with all sorts of "kewl" abilities. Only the most deviant of individuals are going to find you attractive - and even then, it doesn't matter. You've been rendered completely unable to engage in physical pleasure with any partner short of maybe a kiss and a nice back rub. Way to go. Every little bit of normalcy has been taken from you - from being able to have sex to even little things like being able to sit down in a chair. Depending on how far you figure the transformation goes, even something as simple as eating food may have been stripped away. Yeah, you might be shaped in the form of your goddess now - so what? As was already mentioned in this thread, Lolth's form is apparently a curse. And even then? All that "elven beauty" has been stripped away. You have all the advantages of steroid abuse amped up to 11 - super-strong, but down in your pants? Doesn't look so good now, does it? Not to mention the equivalent of female facial hair and all the other attendant deformities. It does make sense to integrate them into drow society, sure - as shock troopers. Not as leaders or anything worthy of respect. Because it is a curse and anyone who doesn't see that should consider for a moment just how much they would like being turned into a drider. The power isn't worth the cost. And the change? Blech. It made more sense the original way. More power =/= better, at least in this case.</blockquote>
