{{Author |author_name=Sam Kay |date_created=5th Febuary 2009 |status=Complete }} [[Image:Chwidencha.jpg|thumb|It's hard to imagine that this mass of legs was once a drow.]] ==Chwidencha== When a [[Drow, Variant (4e Race)|drow]] fails a test of [[All About Spiderkind (Arachonomicon; the Book of Spiderkind Chapter)#Lolth|Lolth]], or Lolth finds a drow wanting, Lolth punishes that drow in the most horrific of ways; she transforms them into a chwidencha. A chwidencha has a radial body that measures about 11 feet in diameter and weighs as much as half a ton. Many long legs (with long, barbed, spikes on the end) emerge from the same point on this body. Drow sometimes keep chwidenchas in deep pits, using them to slay foes and tear apart the weak and the incompetent. {{4e Creature Top |name=Lesser Chwidencha |level=4 |role=Lurker |size=Large |origin=spiderkind |type=magical beast |keywords=spider |xp=175 |initiative=+4 |senses=[[4e Index (4e Other)#perception skill|Perception]] +8; [[4e Index (4e Other)#tremorsense|tremorsense]] 6; [[4e Index (4e Other)#darkvision|darkvision]] |aura1= |aurakeyword1= |aurarange1= |auraeffect1= |aura2= |aurakeyword2= |aurarange2= |auraeffect2= |special= |effect= |hp=42 |bloodied=21 |ac=18 |fortitude=17 |reflex=16 |will=14 |immune/resist/vulnerable='''Vulnerable''' 10 [[4e Index (4e Other)#thunder|thunder]] |savingthrows= |speed=8, climb 8 (spider climb), burrow 8 |actionpoints= }} {{4e Creature Power |type={{BM}} |name=Claw |action=standard |recharge=at-will |keywords= |effect=+9 Vs.

They then use ''impale'' to hold on to a foe as long as possible, using ''claw frenzy'' when their foe escapes. ===Chwidencha Lore=== A character knows the following information with a successful [[Classes (Arachonomicon; the Book of Spiderkind Chapter)#Arachana skill|arachana]] or {{I}}Religion skill|religion]] {{I}}skill check|check]]. :'''DC 10 (arachana), DC 15 (religion):''' Chwidenchas are transformed drow who have failed a test of Lolth or have displeased Lolth in some other way. :'''DC 15 (arachana), DC 20 (religion):''' Chwidenchas charge down their prey, attacking with a flurry of claws and attempting to crush their foes with their many, barbed, legs. :'''DC 20 (arachana), DC 25 (religion):''' Chwidenchas can burrow as fast as they can move across land, and they often burrow under their foes and attack from underneath. ===Encounter Groups=== Chwidenchas can be found both solitary and among others of their kind. =====Level 4 Encounter (XP 875)===== * 4 Lesser Chwidenchas (level 4 lurker) * 1 [[Ettercap (4e Monster)|Ettercap Fang Guard]] (level 4 soldier) ---- Back to [[Main Page]] → [[4e Homebrew|Homebrew]] → [[4e Creatures|Creatures]] → [[4e User Creatures|User Creatures]].<br> Back to [[Main Page]] → [[4e Homebrew|Homebrew]] → [[4e Creatures|Creatures]] → [[4e User Creatures by Level|User Creatures by Level]] → [[4e Level 4 Creatures|Level 4 Creatures]].<br> Back to [[Main Page]] → [[4e Homebrew|Homebrew]] → [[4e Creatures|Creatures]] → [[4e User Creatures by Level|User Creatures by Level]] → [[4e Level 15 Creatures|Level 15 Creatures]].<br> Back to [[Main Page]] → [[4e Homebrew|Homebrew]] → [[4e Creatures|Creatures]] → [[4e User Creatures by Level|User Creatures by Level]] → [[4e Level 25 Creatures|Level 25 Creatures]].<br> Back to [[Main Page]] → [[4e Homebrew]] → [[4e Sourcebooks|Sourcebooks]] → [[Arachonomicon; the Book of Spiderkind (4e Sourcebook)|Arachonomicon; the Book of Spiderkind]] → [[Monsters (Arachonomicon; the Book of Spiderkind Chapter)|Monsters]].
