The Tavern

Half-joke. Intended as a large race that's good at magic. Same race as Arachne. Half Elf, Half Giant Spider.

Weirdness/Mutations:

Large Size: Poor base-size for dodging. Large enough to use large rocks.
Spider Legs - Clinging. Immunity to webs. Good base stealth.
Exoskeleton - (+Level / 3) AC, rPois-.
Ensnare - You can spit webs to attempt to ensnare enemies on a long breath timer (Slowest Breath ability).
See Invis
Malformed - Half AC from body armour.

Stats:

STR: 6
INT: 12
DEX: 8
Gain Random Int/Dex every 4th level.

Aptitudes:

Code:: Dd: Fighting: -2*, Short: -1, Long: -1, Axes: -2, Maces: -2, Polearms: -2, Staves: -1, Slings: -2, Bows: 1, Xbows: -1, Throw: -2*, Armour: -4*, Dodge: -2, Stealth: 3, Shields: -3*, UC: -2*, Splcast: 3!, Conj: 1, Hexes: 2, Charms: 2, Summ: 1, Nec: 1, Tloc: 1, Tmut: 1, Fire: 1, Ice: 1, Air: 1, Earth: 1, Poison: 3!, Inv: 1, Evo: 1, Exp: -2*, HP: 2, MP: 1

If we were building all species from scratch, maybe. In current state Drider isn't unique enough. Innate AC, poor dodging, malformed body and sInv makes it naga-like. Even apts aren't that much different. What is "new" is spit and rPois. Speaking of the latter - rpois- does not work well on species. Formicids started as a Rpois- species, but it was so annoying, that fortunately devs decided to remove it.

"Large enough to use large rocks."
No

Steroid Spriggan - Tiny size, can throw large rocks, speed 3, HP +30%, Str +10
