Drider (CR 8/MR 3)

Special Abilities

Fleshwarp Curse (Su) Bite—injury; save Will DC 18; frequency 1/day; effect 1d4 Con damage and 1d4 Cha drain. If a drow victim reaches 0 Cha, it becomes a drider. The save DC is Charisma-based. If a mythic drider expends one use of mythic power as a swift action when it inflicts this curse, a non-drow victim that reaches 0 Cha becomes a drider.

Poison (Ex) Bite—injury; save Fort DC 18; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 Str; cure 1 save. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Spells A drider casts spells as a 6th-level cleric, sorcerer, or wizard, but does not gain any other class abilities.

Spider Drover (Ex) A mythic drider can use Intimidate in place of a Handle Animal check on a spider to “push” it. The spider can only perform the following tricks: attack, come, defend, down, fetch, or seek.

Undersized Weapons (Ex) Although a drider is Large, its upper torso is the same size as that of a Medium humanoid’s upper torso. As a result, it wields weapons as if it were one size category smaller than its actual size (Medium for most driders).

Vomit Spider Swarm (Su) Once per day as a standard action, a mythic drider can vomit a spider swarm as per vomit swarm, with the exception that the drider can control its movement as a free action. If the mythic drider spends one use of mythic power when using this ability, the swarm also inflicts the fleshwarp curse on creatures it damages.
