Talk:Drider (3.5e Template)

Chaotic Evil

What measures may be taken to fight the chaotic-evilness this template imposes? Say a player was playing a non-drow Drider experiment on a captive who did not wish to be a drider, could it be possible to fight the impending "Driders are always chaotic evil" bit? --Gruegirl 17:08, 8 January 2008 (MST)

IMHO make it "usually chaotic evil"? -- Eiji 17:20, 8 January 2008 (MST)

The Monster Manual mentions in the "reading entries" section that the alignment line is only really for monsters or "the run-of-the-mill" variety of each creature. Player Characters are anything but "run-of-the-mill" and the Monster Manual specifically mentions that even though an entry's alignment might say "Always Chaotic Evil," or "Always Lawful Neutral," etc. player characters can be of any alignment; so, it's really not necessary to do anything specific in terms of a mechanical change to alter the drider's alignment from Chaotic Evil if it is a player character. --Rakankou 19:01, 8 January 2008 (MST)
