Homebrew Drider Species Details
They possess the upper bodies of drow, and the lower bodies of giant spiders. Their drow halves retain all of their typical physical features, including dark blue skin resembling polished obsidian, stark white or pale yellow hair, and very pale eyes that retain the same color shades as regular drow eyes would. The spider half of a drider is typically black and chitinous, propelling the creature along the ground atop eight wicked, spindly spider legs. Due to the space taken up by their spider halves, most driders tend to be up to 8 ft tall, and almost as wide.
Drider Traits
Drider TraitsDarkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Spider Climb
You can walk on difficult surfaces such as walls, or upside down on ceilings without needing to make an ability check, with your hands free and at full movement.
Sunlight Sensitivity
You have disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or what you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.
Size
Driders stand around 7 to 9 feet tall and often weigh just over 500 pounds. Your size is Large, but your upper body is that of a Medium creature. As a result, you follow the usual restrictions when it comes to wielding weapons as Medium creatures, but armor made to fit your body costs as much as barding would for a typical Large creature.
Ability Score Increase
Due to your size, your Constitution score increases by 2.
