[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 6969044, member: 53176"] Chitines are the first "humanoids" we encounter. This alone gives them all sorts of opportunities for customization. But the 3-D encounters are definitively where this species stands out. Attacking from the ceiling and the walls, or even below the PC's on some kind of narrow bridge, before they are at the level where counters to these tactics are common, force the PC's to improvise their combat tactics leading to very memorable encounters. Daggers aren't too intimidating at first glance, but do remember they can be thrown from anywhere that can be crawled on. And because they are weapons, they can be swapped out for things like rapiers for a bigger bite in combat or whips for range. They could even potentially tie off the daggers to a web strand, allowing quick retrieval so they can be thrown again. And as always, be ready to drop rocks on heads. Their armor is made out of webs, that's a really cool mental image. You could potentially give some as a reward to a low level party who is strapped on cash. Choldriths are priestesses. That means feel free to tinker with their spell list, and ally them with basically anything that would worship Lolth. And don't forget to burn all of their spells in combat. As for why you are out to get these creatures? Maybe your party are slaves to Drow. [/QUOTE]
