Combat

Driders seldom pass up an opportunity to attack other creatures, especially from ambush. They usually begin with a spell assault and often levitate out of the enemy's reach.

Spells: Driders may be 6th-level clerics, wizards, or sorcerers. Drider clerics can choose from the following domains: Chaos, Destruction, Evil, and Trickery.

Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day-dancing lights, darkness, detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, detect magic, faerie fire, and levitate. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 6th-level sorcerer (save DC 13 + spell level).

Once per day a drider cleric can additionally use clairaudience/clairvoyance, discern lies, dispel magic, and suggestion as a 6th-level caster.

Poison (Ex): Bite, Fortitude save (DC 16), initial and secondary damage 1d6 temporary Strength.

Skills: A drider receives a +4 racial bonus to Hide and Move Silently checks.
