Arachnomancer

The Arachnomancer is a prestige class of the Underdark that focuses on the strength and power of spiders.

Relations
Because of the worship of Lolth among the Drow, an Arachnomancer can expect good reception within the majority of drow society. The Aranea and Chitine are drawn to the Arachnomancer class as well, due to their own relativity to spiders. The Arachnomancer attractiveness is more about what culture, race or personal interest then what class it used to be. All Arachnomancer are spell casters, to be specific arcane spellcasters. A cleric who worships a deity of the Spider domain might take up arcane studies to gain some of the Arachnomancer abilities.

All spell casters who wish to become Arachnomancers must be part of a scarification ritual that involves burning symbols into his face and rubbing the symbols with ash or other colorings in order to create raised and clear spider-shaped markings of his devotion to mastery of spider magic. also the one who wants to be an Arachnomancer also has to be evil and knowledgeable about nature.
