[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5729866, member: 57383"] That seems unlikely, since Umber Hulks are themselves subterranean creatures from the Underdark, and if I remember my sources aright they can be found as slaves and servants in the drow's cyst-irradiated caverns. I'd think it more likely that the Jade Spiders are one of the drow magic items reliant on this "cyst radiation", so if they're seperated from a cyst for long they become inanimate. It's possible they also crumble to rust and rotten scraps of stone if they're exposed to sunlight after a long enough period away from cyst-radiation, like drow weapons and armour do is modules D1-D3. Well "violently allergic" suggests an unpleasant reaction, possibly Con damage with an increased DC. Well you could ask, but I suspect they'd say no. :( ;) Well "Space Jade Spider" sounds to me that the Jade they're made from comes from space, rather than that they're spider golems that normally operate in space. Hmm, how about calling them Jade Spidergolems? I don't think it makes any difference. To be honest, I doubt many beings in the AD&D universe would know (or bother) that there's two types of Jade, or be able to tell them apart. I certainly couldn't tell them apart if someone stuck a lump of each material in front of me. [/QUOTE]
