Spider Leadership (3.5e Feat)

Spider Leadership [General]

You gain the service of loyal Fiendish or Celestial Monstrous Spiders and Drow.

Prerequisite: Character Level 6th, Race: Drow

Benefit: You can attract cohorts and follows as if you had taken the leadership feat, with the following exeptions:

• You can attract Fiendish and/or Celestial Monstrous Spiders instead of normal cohorts and followers (you can still attract normal cohorts and followers, even if you attract Fiendish and/or Celestial Monstrous Spiders as cohorts or followers). See below for details.
• Your leadership score is treated as being 4 less for the purpose of attracting normal cohorts and followers, but is treated as being 2 higher for the purpose of attracting Fiendish or Celestial Monstrous Spiders and Drow.

Normal: The character cannot attract cohorts or followers without the leadership feat, and cannot attract Fiendish and Celestial Monstrous Spiders without the Spider Leadership feat.

Special: As with the leadership feat, you must check with your DM before taking it, and must work with your DM to deturmine cohorts and followers. This version of the leadership feat is more appropriate for Drow and Spider Riders.

• For the purpose of attracting Fiendish or Celestial Monstrous Spiders and Drow cohorts, use the following modifiers for attracting followers instead of the modifiers presented here:

The Leader . . .	Modifier
Has a familiar, special mount, or animal companion that is a Spiderkind creature	+2
Has a familiar, special mount, or animal companion that is not a Spiderkind creature	–2
Recruits a cohort of a different alignment	–1
Caused the death of a cohort	–21
Cumulative per cohort killed.

• For the purposes of attracting non Fiendish or Celestial Monstrous Spiders and Drow cohorts, use the following modifiers for attracting followers instead of the modifiers presented here:

The Leader . . .	Modifier
Has a familiar, special mount, or animal companion that is a Spiderkind creature	-4
Has a familiar, special mount, or animal companion that is not a Spiderkind creature	–2
Recruits a cohort of a different alignment	–1
Caused the death of a cohort	–21
Cumulative per cohort killed.

Using this feat, a character can attract Fiendish and Celestial Monstrous Spiders. The table below shows the level that Fiendish and Celestial Monstrous Spiders are considered to be for the purposes of deturmining the number of followers a character can have, the level of a character's cohort, ect:

Hit Dice	Level Equivalent
1 HD	1st
2 HD	2nd
3 HD	3rd
4 HD	4th
5-6 HD	5th
7 HD	6th
8 HD	7th
9-10 HD	8th
11-12 HD	9th
+ ≤2 HD1	+1
For every less than or equal to 2 HD higher than 12, the Level Equivalent increases by 1.
