Driders

Dark Sniper
The dark sniper is an elite archer that specializes
in taking down enemies from afar while under
cover of darkness. It waits while hanging from
the ceiling until it gets a clear shot at its target.
After firing, it immediately retreats behind
stalactites and hides within the shadows.

Spiderlord
The cunning spiderlord is a unique drider
favored by Lolth. It is able to summon
a variety of spiders that do its bidding.
The drider also has the ability to wrap its
victims with thick webbing, trapping them
inside a tough web cocoon.

War Mage

These crafty driders are warrior wizards
that can fluidly weave their melee attacks
with spellcasting, making them versatile
and dangerous opponents.
