Homebrew Arachne Species Details
Arachne are Abominations created in labs owned by the Helcion Private Contracting in the kingdom of New Rolandia and were the final product of the chimera initiative. Arachne are a combination of a humanoid and a giant cave spider. Because of their spider abilities, Arachne can see remarkably well in the dark.
Ability Score Increases
When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one of those scores by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy.
The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You’re free to follow those suggestions or to ignore them. Whichever scores you decide to increase, none of the scores can be raised above 20.
