However, they can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. Stability (Ex): Duerders are exceptionally stable on their feet. A duerder has a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).Stonecunning (Ex): This ability grants a dueder a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dueder who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dueder can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dueder can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Dueders have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.Tremorsense (Ex): Can detect and pinpoint a creature or object within 60 ft. in contact with the ground, or within any range in contact with their webs.Web (Ex): Duerders often wait in their webs or in trees, then lowers silently on silk strands and leap onto prey. A strand is strong enough to support the spider and one creature of the same size. Duerders can throw a web eight times per day. This is similar to an attack with a net but has a maximum range of 50 feet, with a range increment of 10 feet, and is effective against targets up to one size category larger than the spider. A creature can escape with a successful Escape Artist check (DC 13) or burst it with a Strength check (DC 17), both are standard actions. The check DCs are Constitution-based, and the Strength check DC includes a +4 racial bonus.Duerders often create sheets of webbing thirty feet square. They can position these sheets to snare flying creatures or to trap prey on the ground. Creatures must succeed on a DC 20 Spot check to notice a web or stumble into it and become trapped as by a successful web attack. Attempts to escape or burst the webbing gain a +5 bonus if the trapped creature has something to walk on or grab while pulling free. Each 5–foot section has the 12 hit points, and sheet webs have damage reduction 5/--. A duerder can move across its own web at its climb speed and can pinpoint the location of any creature touching its web.Skills: Duerders have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks, and a +1 racial bonus on Listen. They have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks. They can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. They use either their Strength or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher. Duerders have a +8 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks when using their webs. They also have a +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items, and a +2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.[/sblock][sblock=Drowolf; CR 4Tauric drow-dire wolf warrior 1]Usually NE Large monstrous humanoidInit +2; Senses low-light vision, darkvision 120 ft., scent, Listen +10, Spot +7Language Common, Elven, Undercommon-----AC 19 (-1 size, +2 Dex, +3 natural, +4 armor, +1 shield), touch 11, flat-footed 17hp 60 (8 HD)Immune sleepWeakness light blindnessSR 12Fort +10, Ref +7, Will +5; +2 racial bonus on Will saves against spells and spell-like abilities-----Spd 50 ft.

On subsequent rounds, they are dazzled as long as they remain in the affected area.Poison (Ex): An opponent hit by a drowolf’s poisoned weapon must succeed on a DC 13 Fortitude save or fall unconscious. After 1 minute, the subject must succeed on another DC 13 Fortitude save or remain unconscious for 2d4 hours. A typical drowolf carries 1d4–1 doses of drow knockout poison. Drowolf typically coat arrows and crossbow bolts with this poison, but it can also be applied to a melee weapon. Note that drowolf have no special ability to apply poison without risking being poisoned themselves. Since this poison is not a magical effect, drowolf and other elves are susceptible to it.Skills: A drowolf has a +2 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Search, and Spot checks. It also has a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent. A drowolf who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if it was actively looking for it.[/sblock][sblock=Praying Gnolltis; CR 4Tauric gnoll-giant praying mantis warrior 1]Usually CE Large monstrous humanoidInit +3; Senses darkvision 60 ft., Listen +4, Spot +8Language Gnoll-----AC 16 (-1 size, -1 Dex, +6 natural, +2 armor), touch 8, flat-footed 16hp 45 (7 HD)Fort +7, Ref +0, Will +1-----Spd 20 ft.
