Third Edition was a bit of a better show for Chitines, as they managed to make it into not one, but two official sourcebooks instead of Dragon Magazine. First appearing in the Monsters of Faerun splat, where they had the same "play a monster" rules as just about any monstrous critter, they received a proper PC write up in the Underdark sourcebook, which made them look like this for 3.5:

::Ability Score Modifier: +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, -4 Charisma.
::Size: Small
::Base land speed: 30 feet
::Spidery Climber: Chitines have a Climb speed of 20 feet, a +8 racial bonus to Climb checks, can always take 10 on Climb checks, and can clamber up walls and across ceilings as if under a permanent non-magical ''Spider Climb'' spell.
::Grappling Bonus (Ex): +4 bonus on grapple checks.
::Difficult to Disarm (Ex): +4 bonus to opposed checks to resist being disarmed.
::Sunlight Sensitivity (Ex): Chitines are ''Dazzled'' in sunlight or equivalent levels of bright magical light.
::Racial Hit Dice: A chitine begins with two levels in "Monstrous Humanoid", which gives it 2d8 Hit Dice, BAB +2, Fort +0, Ref +3, Will +3.
::Racial Skills: A chitine begins with 5 X (2 + Int modifier) skill points and treats Balance, Climb, Craft (Trapmaking), Hide, Jump and Move Silently as class skills.
::Racial Feats: Multiweapon Fighting and one bonus feat.
::Weapon Familiarity: Chitines treat Shortswords as being Simple Weapons rather than Martial Weapons.
::Chitine Web Implements: Chitines use their webbing as a construction material for homes, traps, and armor. They can harden their webbing to create spikes and edges in their traps, and each such sharp feature typically deals 1d6 points of damage. Weapons, armor, and other objects made from hardened webbing deteriorate after several months if not regularly treated with the oil secreted by chitines' skin. Items made of chitine webbing are also susceptible to fire - 2 rounds of contact with flame ignites such an item, burning it away in 2d4 rounds.
::Favored Class: [[Rogue]]
::[[Level Adjustment]]: +2
