Abilities & Attacks

Spider Climb: The spider can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. Web Sense: While in contact with a web, the spider knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web. Web Walker: The spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing. Bite Poison: A target must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way. Web Restraint: A target hit by a Web attack is restrained. As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 12 Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success. The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire; immune to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).
