In anticipation of the drider I made some custom drider items...

A Spider Large Shield and a Spider based rapier "hand protector thingy"

Funny thing is I almost forgot how to do CC for NWN2 it's been a while, Iknow these arent perfect but they were fun to make.

These are made from exsisting NWN2 models and textures so it is a very small hack, it should be on the vault soon.

Some Preview Pics for fun

That looks so nifty!! I watched the driders walk around today while Jonny worked on animations. They will be a nice compliment to the creatures

haha, Excellent. Those are really cool mate

Keep up the great work

Glad to see you making new things again, MWMDragon!

Welcome back, MWMDragon! Nice to see you making weapons again, I missed that.

Taking a look at the awesome animation video of the drider and imagining your weapons in their hand... can you imagine how formidable an army of them would be?

I shudder to think of facing them in battle.

Nice work on those. I like that opening in the shield, giving it a port for visibility while protecting the body.

Any chance of making a variation of the shield with some spider webbing between the legs?

Also, I was wondering about some brainstorming on drow items that don't have spiders on them. What could they look like to make them distinguishable besides webbing and spiders.

-Maybe a shield with just the legs of a spider radiating from the centre and the tips extending a bit outside the circumfrence?
-A rapier with the shaft made from a spiders leg.
-A shield made out of the carpacase (spider rear end) of one of Johny ree's driders with similar colouration.
-Other underdark body parts.

I'm working on some more Drow / Drider / Underdark item ideas right now. I had to reinstall my PC so I'm just getting my development area all back up and running.

These ideas help me a lot even if I don't make the exact item mentioned


PS. I'm going to wait until I have a pack of Drow items before I release it on the Vault, You will see em all here first, that is if it is ok with Ree.

Another one based on weapons seen in drider pictures online...

That looks awesome mwmdragon

I had a thought. Something graceful for dual wield would look sweet too! I was doing some reading for Jonny earlier today and saw some basic drider classes. And dual wielding weapons were one of the chosen. I can see a graceful elegant weapon "but deadly of course" Sleek, and to complicated.

Just my opinion of course. But seemed like a nifty idea.

Do you have an idea ? Or did you want me to research an elegantly deadly weapon that was drider-esk but not to flashy.

What base weapon did you have in mind..eg. dagger,kama,short sword?
