Driders are centaur-like creatures, appearing as Drow from the waist up, with their lower portions replaced by the abdomen and legs of immense spiders.
Promising Drow often undergo a test of loyalty to Lolth; those who fail are transformed into a Drider. Because they have failed Lolth’s test, they become outcasts from their own people. However, many continue to serve the Spider Goddess in the vain hope of being returned to their original forms. Driders are most often sorcerers, although other spellcasting classes are also common.
