[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 8579063, member: 53176"] [HEADING=2]Chitine (VGtM)[/HEADING] In case you were wondering, Lolth is going to be left in for the edition change, and she is still the same spiteful Spider Queen who is somehow worshiped despite actively making the lives of her followers objectively worse. Chitines were once elves who were mutated into spider-people by cultists of Lolth. Lolth didn’t like the idea of her cultists having their own loyal slaves, because that gave the Chitines less time to worship her, or something. Lolth changed the ritual to instead create Choldrith sometimes, who in turn could birth more Choldrith and Chitines. These Choldrith then led a revolt and established a new underdark race that functions more like an ant colony than a spider's nest. Chitines are intelligent and have a caste system for a society. At CR ½, the warriors aren’t too much to handle, with their most notable power being climbing up walls. Their craftsmanship, on the other hand, is something else. Chitines are able to web up entire cave systems to make their homes, and they are even capable of weaving their webs into armor. While they cannot spin a web in combat, they can use their established webs in a number of different ways, such as hiding traps, as a form of vibro-location that detects any creature in contact with a web, or even just a house for them to live in. Anyone who manages to make a trading partnership or even allies themselves with the Chitines could expect all kinds of silk based goods. In combat, the Chitine will try to ambush their enemy, who is likely going to be tangled up in a web. They can use their climb speed and Web Walker power to attack foes from a multitude of advantageous directions, such as above, behind, or below. While they are only armed with daggers, they can throw them. Presumably every Chitine warrior has a silk bandolier filled with daggers so they can keep up their ranged attack routine as necessary. But it is easy to give them better weapons should the opportunity arise. Chitine are often at odds with the Drow, and could have looted some rapiers or hand crossbows from them. The Chitine had only one change to their statblock, the “Typically” added to the alignment. Other than that, not even the formatting was changed. [/QUOTE]
