== Insectile <sup>SS</sup> ==
“Insectile” is an inherited template that can be added to any giant, humanoid, or monstrous humanoid (hereafter referred to as the base creature). An insectile creature is a biped, and it gains four more arms. It has all the base creature’s characteristics except as noted here.
'''Size and Type:''' The creature’s type changes to aberration.
'''Speed:''' An insectile creature gains a climb speed equal to its land speed.
'''AC:''' Because of the insectile creature’s chitinous shell, the base creature’s natural armor bonus increases by +2.
'''Attacks:''' Despite having six arms, insectile creatures gain no additional attacks.
'''Special Qualities:''' An insectile creature gains darkvision (60-foot range) if it did not already have it, as well as tremorsense and wide vision.


Generally dislike it. No armor until 7th. Poor BAB. Can't frontline and cast.
'''Tremorsense (Ex):''' An insectile creature can automatically sense the location of anything within 60 feet that is in contact with the ground.


== Build 2 (Fighter/Warmage/Runesmith) ==
'''Wide Vision (Ex):''' Because of its multiple eyes and wide angle of vision, an insectile creature has a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks and cannot be flanked.
