Homebrew Arachnimph Species Details

"The Arachnimph are a very mysterious, yet peaceful folk. Contrary to popular belief, these spider-like beings normally live in villages that specialize in making silk products and/or fishing with home made silk nets. Though, be careful if you encounter one of these creatures outside of a village, because you don't want to become a feral's next meal." -A Guide On Miscellaneous Race

Description

Arachnimphs are humanoid spiders that, while still looking similar to a spider, have 4 arms, 2 legs, and a small Abdomen. They have darker slightly-fuzzy skin, with no discernible hands or feet, though their balance and grasping hairs allow them to use these as normal limbs. Their face consists of 4 eyes, a mouth with 2 fangs, and 2 more fangs attached to the sides of the head (this last point can change depending on preference.)

Ferals

While normal Arachnimphs are very shy, mostly peaceful people, they all have some sort of hatred towards the Ferals, which are very aggressive cannibalistic Arachnimphs. One of the reasons the Ferals are so hated is because, becoming a Feral is a choice, and the years of cannibalism is what causes a Feral to become crazy and aggressive.

Economy

Due to discrimination, Arachnimphs mainly make their money off of traveling traders, who buy what they catch and their silk made products. If a farmer Arachnimph is desperate for money they can also sell their silkworm farms for extra money, though it normally never comes to that.

Arachnimph Traits

While most Arachnimphs end up in more village based jobs, a rare few decide to become adventurers, though, mainly due to dicrimination, it is a very dangerous job.

Silk Spun

Using your 4 arms, you quickly pin down (grapple) your opponent as a bonus action, this allows you to easily tie up an opponent, though that turns your action into a normal action.

Ability Score Improvement

Add a +2 to dexterity, and a +1 to an ability of your choice.
