Fun With The Rules

For unnecessary accuracy, instead of assuming a house centipede can't be tripped, apply a bonus vs. trip based on the number of legs beyond two. Based on the description of the centipede having 20 to 300 legs, you could add a bonus of up to +596 (300 legs).

Or you could just go with the assumption that a house centipede can't be tripped. Our way is much funnier.

ECOLOGY

Environment temperate or warm forest or underground
Organization solitary, pair, or colony (3–6)
Treasure none

Multi-legged house centipedes can be found almost anywhere, and can have from 20 to more than 300 legs. Their bites are poisonous, and can daze the unwary.
