GIANT SPIDER (not quite but nearly finished)

 GIANT SPIDER

Giant Spiders come in a variety of forms depending of their nature, are they just enlarged spiders, prehistoric monstrosities or demons from another dimension?

The traditional Giant Spider Attacks are listed in attack 1 and 2, and other suggestions have been added to give a full list of six attacks. Special thanks to Brian Leybourne and an Unknown commentor for their suggestions.

ATTRIBUTES

STRENGTH 6, AGILITY 5

SKILLS: Stealth 4, Scout 4
MOVEMENT: 1
ARMOR RATING: 2
SPIDER CLIMB: The spider can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, and ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.
WEB SENSE: While in contact with a web, the spider knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web. Stepping over a web without touching it requires a MOVE roll.

MONSTER ATTACKS

D6
ATTACK
1


BITE! The hideous arachnid uses its sharp edged jaws to bite one adventurer within ARM'S LENGTH. Make an attack using 7 Base Dice and Damage 1 (slash wound). 

2
WEB SHOOT! The spider shoots its sticky web at one adventurer within SHORT RANGE. Make an attack using 7 Base Dice, if the attack its the victim is GRAPPLED and pulled one range closer to the spider each round. The webbing has a STRENGTH of 6.

3


PARALYZING BITE! As the BITE! attack above but if the attack does damage the adventure must also resist a paralyzing poison with Potency 6
4
LEAP! The large creature springs from its current position, leaping on one adventurer within SHORT RANGE. Make an attack using 6 Base Dice, if the attack is successful the victim is knocked prone.


5



COCOON! Using its two front legs the spider reaches out to grab the nearest paralyzed adventurer within ARM'S LENGTH. Make an attack using 6 Base Dice. If the attack succeeds the adventurer is pulled under the creature where it starts to wrap them in its smothering web. In the next turn the victim begins to DROWN. The webbing has a STRENGTH of 6. If no adventurer is suitable re-roll the attack.

6
SPIDER SPAWN! The spiders extended egg sac pulses and disgorges 1D12 eggs at its current location. The eggs are quite fragile and have a STRENGTH of 3. In the each following round 1d6 of the baby spiders will hatch and rush towards any adventurer within NEAR RANGE. The baby spiders are harmless on their own with only 1 STRENGTH and 2 AGILITY, but immediately form a swarm that attacks with a total STRENGTH equal to the size of the swarm. Any attack against the swarm will only kill one creature.
