Rachnia

The rachnia are an arachnoid race in the Vistelo galaxy. Primarily living in underground tunnels on Bruma, rachnian society is rooted in artisanship. Being able to create is foremost in their culture, whether it be art, or sculpture, or watches, or what have you.
==Etymology and Other Names==
Rachnia comes from the Istóglóssa term ráchnis, or "web-makers". The corvician term, ticilia, instead refers to them as "tunnelers".
==Biology and Anatomy==
Rachnia resemble large jumping spiders, with two large, domed eyes surrounded by six smaller eyes. Though all eight of their legs can be used as legs, they use their frontmost pair to manipulate objects as well, often in conjunction with their pedipalps. Their bodies are usually dull browns and greys, with dark stripes or markings upon them, though colorful legs or faces are not unheard of.
==Sociology and Culture==
Rachnia are a curious and competitive race, many seeking careers that encourage invention and creation. Many of Vistelo's great inventors are Rachnia, and their culture encourages the creation of one's Great Work, the defining piece by which one may be judged. There is no strict criteria on what a Great Work must be; it can be a story, a song, a sculpture, a machine, so long as it is yours, and yours alone.

==Racial Traits==
===3.5e/Pathfinder===
Rachnia are a Small race, incurring all the bonuses and penalties thereof. A rachnia character may opt for +2 Dex -2 Str or +2 Int -2 Wis.
Web Spinner: A rachnia character does not need rope to make a Use Rope check. Escape Artist checks to escape a rachnia's web take a penalty equal to half the rachnia's character level due to the stickiness of the web.
Crafty: A rachnia character's Craft checks represent progress over a three-day period rather than a week. By extension, if making daily crafting checks, they divide the result by 3 rather than 7.

Rachnia have darkvision with a range of 60 ft.
