*LOL* That's a good one Diaglo.

But since he's got to be female I'll recommend wearing something like this...

(snip) My background is........I am a female Drow who was born to a Queen of the Drow. There was a tremendous war while I was still young and I was sent top-side. Humans found me and even though I was a Drow they could not kill me because of my age. They raised me in a Tavern. I am now an adult and Lloth has been speaking/appearing to me and spiders have been talking to me. (snip)

With that sort of background there is no way that I would allow the character to have any sort of "priestess of Lolth" prestige class. In fact, I would probably insist on something like the favoured soul class from Complete Divine (as much as I otherwise dislike the class) to represent the character's "unstructured/spontaneous" acquisition of divine spellcasting abilities (and perhaps replace the wings gained at 9th [IIRC] level with the ability to cast spider legs from BOVD at will as a spell-like ability) rather than allowing class levels as a cleric.

No it would be Drizz'tessa.

She is female remember?

On a more serious note....Eremite's suggestion is worth thinking about.

My two coppers:

It's possible that someone created a Priestess of Lolth class. I think I've seen several speciality priests (like Doomguide of Kelemvor) as base classes, not too long after 3e was released. But you actually don't need such a thing

And Eremite's right. With that background, a cleric isn't really fitting. That girl didn't have any formal cleric training (Lolth's priestesses spend several decades in the academy, at least in Menzoberranzan), no indoctrination and all. She's no cleric. Favoured soul seems to fit like a glove: You didn't choose Lolth, Lolth choose you. You're a Drow princess, but the humans took you away. Now she wants you back. So you get some nice promotional gifts from her, in the hope you subscribe.

Beside that, you might play something else (say, rogue, fighter), and later become a divine champion or divine seeker (or something like that), when the call becomes stronger. Maybe you can get your DM to write a special feat
Something like "Lolth's Call (can only be chosen at 1st level). The spider queen calls you. Once per day, you can cast talk with spiders, which works like talk with animals, only with spiders. You can also cast web once per day.
Or something like that.

I agree; your PC won't have had the training / indoctrination to be a cleric of Lolth. Favored Soul does seem to fit the concept much better. It's the divine equivalent of being a sorcerer, rather than a wizard; Lolth's magic is in your blood.

Oh...and, no offense, but you keep misspelling your PC's deity's name. It's not "Lloth", it's "Lolth."
