Message: <blockquote data-quote="MaximumHavoc" data-source="post: 4661798" data-attributes="member: 82231">(long time lurker, first time poster, here.  cheers.)DriderA drider was a powerful drow priest of Lolth whose devotion was satisfactorily tested by Lolth and who was gifted with a semblance of her god’s spider form. Most, although not all, matron mothers are driders. Drow believe that a drow house that does not have a drider for a matron mother is experiencing the displeasure and punishment of Lolth. Such houses face stigma and some prejudice from the greater drow community. A drow house with two or more driders is regarded as blessed by Lolth. As the favored of Lolth, all driders, whether matron mother or not, enjoy considerable power and authority in drow society. Since all drow priests are female, a male drider is a rare and socially complicated circumstance for drow society. Driders often dispense with weapons, instead relying upon their two blade-like front claws and their bite for melee.Drider is a template you can apply to any drow priest and, rarely, other drow who have dedicated their lives to the service of Lolth. If you are modifying a nonplayer character, this template works best with the cleric.Prerequisite: Level 11, Drow Priest or drow worshiper of Lolth______________________________________DriderElite SoldierLarge fey humanoid (spider)XP EliteDefenses +2 AC; +4 Fortitude, +2 ReflexResist 5 + 1/2 level poisonSaving Throws +2Speed 8, climb 8 (spider climb)Size LargeAction Point 1Hit Points +8 per level + Constitution score______________________________________POWERSM-B Claw (standard; at-will) PoisonLevel +4 vs. AC; 1d8 + 7 damage, and the drider makes a secondary attack against the same target.
