Web (Ex): In spider or hybrid form an aranea can throw a web up to six times per day. This is similar to an attack with a net but has a maximum range of 50' with a range increment of 10' and is effective against targets of up to Large size. The web anchors the target in place allowing no movement. An entangled creature can escape with a DC 17 Escape Artist check or burst the web with a DC 21 Strength check. The check DCs are Constitution-based, and the Strength check DC includes a +4 racial bonus. The web has 6 hit points, hardness 0, and takes double damage from fire.

Change Shape (Su) An aranea can take the form of a Small or Medium humanoid or spider-humanoid hybrid. In humanoid form, an aranea cannot use its bite, web, or poison. In spider-humanoid hybrid form, an aranea looks like a humanoid with spidery fangs and spinnerets, with the latter typically located at the small of its back. The aranea retains its bite attack, webs, and poison in this form, and can wield weapons and wear armor. When in humanoid or hybrid form, an aranea's speed is 30 feet and it has no climb speed.

Poison (Ex) Bite—injury; save Fort DC 17; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d3 Strength; cure 1 save.

The stats in the bestiary entry are the racial modifiers for each attribute. Round them down to an even number and subtract 10, those are the racial modifiers for your race. Then you allocate the attributes you rolled and apply those modifiers. For instance, if the attributes listed on the monster page are:

STR 18
DEX 13
CON 15
INT 8
WIS 12
CHA 11

...then your racial modifiers are +8STR, +2DEX, +2CON, -2INT, +2WIS, +0CHA and they will modify what you rolled.

Racial hit dice for saves and skills can get a little tricky. Use the two tables in the monster creation rules titled "Statistics Summary" and "Creature Statistics by Type". You can look up your racial hit dice to calculate your skill points and base saves then modify them by attributes. Any skill listed on the monster's entry is considered a class skill, in addition to any you might get from class levels. It is easiest if you do all this to get the base creature out of the way before adding class levels.

I love monstrous characters and I usually jump at the opportunity to play one. I was thinking about writing up a young black dragon for my entry, *that* would have been a fair bit of work ;)

Hope that cleared things up! Merry Christmas!

Jakobryn Kharis immediately sets a great many people he deals with on edge. Demons, Devils, Drow, and other minions of darkness wonder how an elf ended up with the favor of the Lord of Nessus. Jak possesses two unique qualities that appeal to Asmodeus: First is his startling capacity to dissemble. Second is his ability to think in longer terms than many of Asmodeus’ mortal minions.

Jakobryn began life as a common elf, but he rapidly developed a stronger sense of self-interest than most of his elven kinfolk. As he grew older, he avoided condemnation by constantly pitting elf against elf. When an elf began to sense that Jak was out for himself, he would find himself beset by political factions and eventually driven from elven society, which grew ever more factionalized. Finally, he attracted the attention of the Lord of Lies himself, who took on the young elf as an “emissary.”

Jak marshals resources, contacts, and plans, waiting for opportunities to appear. He has been known to ally with any and all other factions in the Blood War, to include demons and angels, in search of long-term advantage for his master. While he strikes many as treacherous in the extreme, to date no one has perceived any motivation for his actions beyond service to his terrible master. A few angels speculate that it is the War itself that entrances Jak, the pitting of factions against one another and the layers of intrigue that keep him going. He may be playing simply for joy of the game.

Gabriel Itherin, now known as Gabriel Icebane, was born in dark circumstances. HIs father,
Lucien Itherin, was a powerful warlock, leader of a cult of worshippers of Aseroth, The Winter Warlock,
a demon of hell. Born in the Great Glacier in a small complex, Gabriel never knew much warmth. His
mother was one of Luciens lieutenant, Julia. Despite her religion, Julia had a bit of a soft hard, and raised
Gabriel herself for most of his childhood.

Gabriel had a bit of a prankster streak in him, often avoiding trouble from his pranks, like adding
some different spices to the meal cauldron, really hot spices. Or tossing in a few smokesticks into the
little fire that was permitted in the small temple. Thus causing lots of smoke to fill up the building.

When he turned 12, Lucian took him and began training him as a warlock, having the same
demonic blood in his ancestry; giving him access to the baleful energies a warlock has access too. The
training was harsh, and Gabriel burned under the strict regiment his father enforced, which included
multiple beatings if he failed a subject. Though even through this, Gabriel kept his prankster nature,
using the powers he learned to help it. Like increasing his ability to glibly dodge accusations that came
when he was caught. He also broke stuff from afar with his abilities, causing havoc. Only person who
ever caught him was his father, who beat him ruthlessly each time. After each beating, when his father
left, his mother came in and soothed him, bandaging the wounds he received from the beatings.

When he turned 18, his mischief finally went too far in his father’s eye. During a ceremony
praising Aseroth, Gabriel shattered Luciens demonic symbol, ruining the ceremony. In a rage, his father
beat him within an inch of his life. Lucien then tied his son up, hanging by his wrists, and left him there,
and lighting Hellfire underneath him, leaving him there. Alone and afraid of dying, Gabriel tried to break
lose, but the ropes were magical, preventing him from breaking them. Pain lanced up his legs as the
hellfire slowly burned him, creeping closer and closer to him. Somehow he managed to will the hellish
fire away from him, prolonging his fate. After awhile his father alone came in, frowning at seeing his son
still not crispy. Walking up to Gabriel, planning on toasting himself, he didn’t notice Julia walking up
behind him, and sapping him over the head with her mace, knocking him unconscious. She quickly
untied Gabriel, telling him to run away, run south. Gabriel, not caring about the repercussions, he took
most of his father’s gear. His mother refused to go with him, saying she’ll delay Lucien’s chase after their
son as much as he can.

Gabriel ran, changing his last name to Icebane for his hatred of his father and the lord he followed. He swore to get revenge, even if it means using fire against fire...

Zadlužený can remember nothing of the time before. He came into being on the cold iron floor of a citadel in Avernus. Newly born but retaining the sorcerous power of the unholy fusion of daemon and man that spawned him, he was immediately subdued by the power of he who held his contract.

As was explained to Zadlu at length, his existence was now bound by infernal contract to insert appropriate patron - who had a signed compact with the human mage that came before. It tied him to this patron for a mortal lifetime. Unable to resist, Zadlu began to toil in the everflowing conflict between tanari and baatezu.

Some time after he began to serve, Zadlu was able to call and bind a minor cacodaemon to servitude and force it to provide the soul gems that fueled his eldritch power. Unbeknownest to Zadlu, this was no accident - his new servant (Zub) was sent by a Purrodaemon in service of Szuriel, the Horseman of War. Ever looking for means of fueling and shaping the Blood War - Zadlu is seen as a possible means to their end.

In essence Zadlužený is torn between his nature to seek and study magical power, and his need to service his contract with patron. Secondly, his familiar Zub is ultimately not loyal to him, but to a more powerful daemon in service of Szuriel... and it is only a matter of time before Zadlu is called upon to serve.
Lastly, he knows nothing of the life that came before this. It is possible that issues could boil up from his past - and it is not inconceivable that a previous magical collaborator might know his truename and call upon him through planar binding.
Those threads are there in basic detail to be used by you how you see fit - they may either be kept on the backburner, or exploited in game. If you'd like any more specific details - please let me know

1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

So the equivalent of four levels.

4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 2) = 14=13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 5) = 12=11
4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 1) = 11=10
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 5) = 10=9
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 6, 3) = 18=15
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 1) = 9=8
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 3) = 9=8

Hit dice
2d10 ⇒ (7, 7) = 14
2d8 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 = 8, due to the half minimum rule

Abdiel is rather fuzzy on his own history. He remembers being formed as an imp to serve within the hordes of Asmodeus, but where his soul might have come from is a mystery to him. One that he doesn't particularly care about, if he is honest. He took to existence as an imp like a fish to water, reveling in the slow temptation of mortal magic users who he was assigned to tempt, and the souls they damned.

The truth, not that he'll ever admit it, is that he wasn't anything special when it came to those duties. To be sure he had some successes, but then, if you spend long enough doing it, anyone will have some. He likely would have been doomed to obscurity if it were not for a singularly fateful encounter. Abdiel was summoned by a rather dark minded sorcerer, who needed someone to help him win a place in a secluded order of assassins.

Like any familiar, Abdiel served his 'master' with the appearance of faithfulness, and had a certain level of ennui at the prospect of being bound to a mortal with such small ambitions. Steal the secrets of a group of killers, simply because you wanted power? It would be easy to push this sorcerer to damnation, yes, but how much collateral damage would there be as it happened? Almost none, by his calculations. How was he ever to hope that he might gain advancement if he kept getting these men of limited ambitions to deal with?

The infiltration was easy, but as Abdiel watched the sorcerer stealing secrets, he realized that perhaps there were some here he could steal as well... an alternate way to advance himself, by returning with skills that were uncommon amongst other imps. The focus on stealth and striking from the shadows that these warriors favored was almost perfectly suited to his natural capacities.

So he made certain that his "master" was caught and killed, leaving him free to stay behind in the material plane and study the tricks and techniques of these ninjas. And he began to realize that the mortals had plenty to offer in fighting the blood wars, beyond simply their souls. Eventually, of course, he fled the ninjas' retreat, worried that they might have somehow discerned his illicit studying, and intent on returning home with the knowledge (and materials) he had been slowly pilfering from their stores.

It was on this journey that Abdiel first got the chance to test his talents against an enemy, when he accidentally wandered through the territory of a gang of brownies. He was overconfident at first, and so quickly overwhelmed and captured. Believing him to be the scout of some form of enemy, the brownies set about trying to convince him to tell them what was coming. Abdiel had nothing he could say, but surviving the experience (and murdering the brownies later) strengthened his mind against the madness that the fey creatures so often inflict on others. From the bodies of his slain captors he took a magnificent sent of leaf armor that they had been given by a local enclave of elves.

Web (Ex): In spider or hybrid form an aranea can throw a web up to six times per day. This is similar to an attack with a net but has a maximum range of 50' with a range increment of 10' and is effective against targets of up to Large size. The web anchors the target in place allowing no movement. An entangled creature can escape with a DC 17 Escape Artist check or burst the web with a DC 21 Strength check. The check DCs are Constitution-based, and the Strength check DC includes a +4 racial bonus. The web has 6 hit points, hardness 0, and takes double damage from fire.

Change Shape (Su) An aranea can take the form of a Small or Medium humanoid or spider-humanoid hybrid. In humanoid form, an aranea cannot use its bite, web, or poison. In spider-humanoid hybrid form, an aranea looks like a humanoid with spidery fangs and spinnerets, with the latter typically located at the small of its back. The aranea retains its bite attack, webs, and poison in this form, and can wield weapons and wear armor. When in humanoid or hybrid form, an aranea's speed is 30 feet and it has no climb speed.

Poison (Ex) Bite—injury; save Fort DC 17; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d3 Strength; cure 1 save.

This imp is one of Fierna's Whispers, emissaries she has sent to the prime to establish cults and gather mortal agents. It subtly encourages Tia toward hedonism and indulgence (usually at the expense of others), but its advice has generally been sound and it is very knowledgeable about the various players and political factions involved in the blood war.

From the time she hatched Tia just wanted to be left alone with her sisters. Her colony was somewhat unusual, with all of them sharing the same reddish mark on their abdomen, but other than that they were typical for their kind. They were mostly self-sufficient and only went into the nearby city to fill their carnal desires, or to trade for other luxuries. The city was useful to them, so they protected it when they found they were not the only ones acting behind the scenes- an illithid was trying to carve out its own little empire on the surface. During the proxy war that followed, Whisper introduced himself as an interested party and helped them immensely with gathering information and targeting the illithid's agents. After their eventual victory, Whisper started to reveal information about his patron's "blessing" of their clutch of eggs, and the reason behind the birthmark they all shared. Fierna's sponsorship offered the magical secrets that Tia craved, and easy access to the luxuries she wanted from "civilized" folk. Some of the jobs she did for the Fiery Lady were even rather pleasant...

Tia is a greenish-brown 120lb spider with a red birthmark on her abdomen. In human or hybrid form she looks like a waifish young woman with black hair and green eyes, usually dressed in exquisite silk clothing of her own make. Her birthmark looks a bit like this:

.ψ.

and is on the back of her left shoulder in human-form. She is generally only interested in other people for what they can do for her and has no compunctions about manipulating or enchanting others to get what she wants. She has done some business with drow in the past, as they are one of the few cultures who hold her in esteem for her natural form rather than greeting her with terror or revulsion. Tia is quite passionate about her craft, and will go out of her way to learn a new rune or some innovative magical technique; she is also somewhat obsessive about metamagic rods, having recently lost hers to a to a devil who out-bargained her.

Ssrintal is a Half-Fiend Degenerate Serpentfolk (Bestiary 2). He has no class levels, as he works out to my limit of CR6. Just wanted to see if you would entertain such a character to begin with before I post a statblock or back story. Degenerate Serpentfolk have a roleplaying disadvantage in in their INT penalty, but the Half-fiend template brings him up to average intelligence, and I would play him as a mercenary-style soldier in the greater conflict.
