Web Sense. The hunting spider has imprecise tremorsense to detect the vibrations of creatures touching its web. Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface. Spring Upon Prey (reaction). Requirements Initiative has not yet been rolled. Trigger A creature touches the hunting spider's web while the spider is on it. Effect The hunting spider automatically notices the creature and Strides, Climbs, or Descends on a Web before it rolls initiative. Descend on a Web (1 action) (move). The hunting spider moves straight down up to 40 feet, suspended by a web line. It can hang from the web or drop off. The distance it Descends on a Web doesn't count for falling damage. A creature that successfully Strikes the web (AC 20, Hardness 3, 5 HP) severs it, causing the spider to fall. Hunting Spider Venom (poison). Saving Throw DC 16 Fortitude save.
