The spider people from Technomancer are chimera of humans and Mexican red leg tarantulas.
Don't they look soft and cuddly like a stuffed animal?
Well, they're not. They're bristly and the exoskeleton doesn't have much give.
A chimera is a mammal, not an arachnid. They just LOOK like spiders.
They have bones. They have skin. They have fur.
They're actually cuddly!
If you can get past the whole ugly and general aversion to spiders most people run.
Also note: The front legs are the arms on the human torso so the spider part only has six legs. The human torso rises from the black area on the thorax of the spider part, the human genitalia being where the pedipalps are. Clothing for these people must be interesting.
Yep, there's something I'd missed all this time: I knew they had bones all along, but I missed that there's no rigid shell at all. But Technomancer, Pyramid 3/115 and your custom template all agree: there's no DR.
