Marsh
Spiders are cousins to Great Spiders. They inhabit various marshes, bogs,
swamps and some forests. The come in many sizes and colours. Marsh Spiders
usually live in broods led by a Brood Mother, although solitary specimen and
packs of these creatures are also possible to encounter. The toxin of Marsh
Spiders (even the larger ones) is not as potent as that of a Giant Spider, so
it requires a normal save vs. poison. 3/day Marsh Spiders can try to use a
Sleep like effect with their bite and they have a 50% chance to succeed. They
prefer to do so on large prey before hauling it back to their nest to devour it
slowly. Marsh Spiders can also throw a gobbet of their web on their enemies,
blinding them for 1 round. Lizardmen sometimes attempt to tame these beasts.
Brilliant. More powerful version could also be used, where the spider uses web ability as spell of the same name - revenge on players overusing this spell, hehe.
ReplyDeleteI leave it for the referees to decide, but I think that those 3+2 hd spiders could use it that way. And Brood Mothers (which I should design in a few days at most) will cerainly be abe to use their web also as the spell effect.
