[B]Description & Tactics[/B] Xirrishee was never born, she was created by Lolth herself many centuries ago, and has served the spider goddess ever since. Very probably, she has no choice in the matter… She loves inflicting pain on others and most often uses her death attack to paralyze her pray rather than kill it. She then brings the victim with her to the ethereal plain, where she’ll try to keep the victim alive and conscious for as long as possible while she slowly eats him/her/it. Xirrishee has both the mundane and magical means to find and destroy her target; or even bringing a live victim back to her mistress, if Lolth wishes to personally oversee someone’s slow, painful demise. She is certainly smart enough to know which tactic is going to serve her purpose best in practically any circumstance. She’ll prepare for combat on the ethereal plane, casting any buff-spells she might need. From there she can observe her target until she is ready to shift invisibly to the material plane and deliver her death attack. Most often, Xirrishee will then bring the dead or paralyzed victim with her back to the ethereal plane, before attacking her next opponent. [B]Note![/B] The only things Xirrishee gains from her fiendish template are the extra-planar subtype, an evil allignement and her Smite Good-ability. The other benefits granted by the fiendish template are covered by the paragon template, therefore her CR has not been given the usual +1 adjustment from the fiendish template. The fiendish template was basically included just because it fit the concept of Xirrishee so well. Her original (rolled up) stats were these: 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 16 [/QUOTE]
