Homebrew Drider Species Details
Drider are a fey species, cursed drow with a spidery lower half. They live among the shadows, shunned by all species, and are often outright feral. They have no society, no purpose; they were created as punishment, and live as such. Very few manage to break free of the eternal suffering imposed on them by their beloved goddess.

Sunlight Sensitivity
You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight. After 4 hours of being exposed to direct sunlight your ability scores are decreased by 1 point each. After an additional 4 hours, this effect doubles. Ability scores modifed by this trait can be lowered to a minimum of 5 points. You regain lost ability scores after completing a long rest in the shade. If you rest in complete darkness, the time to heal is halved, down to 4 hours.
Fangs
With your spider-like fangs, you can bite any creature within melee range for 1d4 damage.
Arachnid build
Your arachnid body allows you various abilities: You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed and you're capable of climbing on vertical surfaces and climb upside-down without using your hands at all. Webbing does not enweb or restrict you in any way.
Underdark Affinity
Your time in the Underdark mixed with your soundless spidery limbs give you a proficiency in stealth.
