A creature hit by the ether spider's web attack is Immobilized and stuck to the nearest surface (Escape DC 22). Web Burst (2 actions). Frequency once per day. Effect The ether spider flings a gout of stored webs in a 30-foot cone. These webs can pass between the Universe and the Ethereal Plane. Each creature in the area is Immobilized, as ethereal web trap, unless it succeeds at a DC 22 Reflex save. Grab (1 action). Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained. Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to Grapple the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty. The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
