Homebrew Arachnoid Species Details

Grateful nature

Arachnoids are often shunned by the towns, cities and villages they go to. They find a hard time being able to reside in inns and other houses. Both of these issues are due to their terrifying nature. For this reason when they find a friend or somewhere to stay they are incredibly grateful. And in the rare occasion that they find a friend they are cautious to not ruin the friendship. They will never even think of hurting, destroying, marking or devaluing a property they are staying in and will never harm, kill or betray a friend. This of course is until they break one of their 'rules'

Rule masters

Arachnoids have lists of rules that they believe no one should cross. They might leave the rules to themselves and warn people when they are soon to break them, and some broadcast them like a novel. These lists tend to be pretty short and have a combination of universal rules (Don't kill, don't steal etc) and some rather personal and strange rules (don't sing, no finishing meals etc). Severity of breaking these rules change from each arachnoids, some will simply remove the rule-breaker from their life, and some will kill the rule-breaker. When making your arachnoid make a list of around 7 logical rules and around 3 less logical rules. Be sure to note these down.

Creatures of Terror

Arachnoids are known for a terrifying appearance. They have 8 eyes (However some have none, and locate via smell), long teeth, grey shark skin, acidic spit and thick tough tongues. They tend to wrap themselves up and wear metal masks. However their strange voices and weird movement gives their disguise away easily. Some arachnoids use their fear factor as a benefit. Perhaps for fun, perhaps for survival, these 'unwrappers' (as they're called by arachnoids) give a bad name to 'wrappers'

Broken language

Arachnoids tend to get pronouns wrong due to their lack of experience of communication. They may call themselves 'we' 'I' and sometimes even 'them'. They often confuse genders as well

Arachnoid Names

Arachnoids have a name for themselves in 'spider talk' and for 'peoples talk'. Peoples talk names are taken from races they encounter (Such as human, elves, dwarves) and their spidertalk name could be literally anything.

Acidic blood

When you spill blood any creature that touches it takes 1d4 acid damage every turn they spend touching it. The damage increases with your level. So for level 2 you'd deal 2d4, level 3, 3d4 and so on. This means that when attacked by a melee weapon which deals blood, the attack takes damage if they successfully hit you
