Monstrous spiders come in two general types: hunters and [[SRD:Web|web]]-spinners. Hunters rove about, while [[SRD:Web|web]]-spinners usually attempt to trap prey. Hunting spiders can spin [[SRD:Web|web]]s to use as lairs, but cannot use their [[SRD:Web|web]]s as weapons the way [[SRD:Web|web]]-spinners can. A hunting spider has a base land speed 10 feet faster than the figures given in the statistics blocks. '''[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] (Ex):''' A monstrous spider has a [[SRD:Poison|poison]]ous bite. The details vary by the spiderβs size, as shown on the table below. The save DCs are [[SRD:Constitution|Consitution]]-based. The indicated damage is initial and secondary damage. {|class="d20" |- ! '''Size'''!! '''Fort DC'''!! '''Damage''' |- |Small||10||1d3 Str |} '''''Smite Good (Su):''''' Once per day the creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD total (maximum of +20) against a good foe. '''Web (Ex):''' Both types of monstrous spiders often wait in their [[SRD:Web|web]]s or in trees, then lower themselves silently on silk strands and leap onto prey passing beneath. A single strand is strong enough to support the spider and one creature of the same size. Web-spinners can throw a [[SRD:Web|web]] eight times per day. This is similar to an attack with a net but has a maximum range of 50 feet, with a range increment of 10 feet, and is effective against targets up to one size category larger than the spider. An [[SRD:Entangled|entangled]] creature can escape with a successful [[SRD:Escape Artist Skill|Escape Artist]] check or burst it with a [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] check. Both are [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]s whose DCs are given in the table below. The check DCs are [[SRD:Constitution|Consitution]]-based, and the [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] check DC includes a +4 racial bonus. Web-spinners often create sheets of sticky [[SRD:Web|web]]bing from 5 to 60 feet square, depending on the size of the spider. They usually position these sheets to [[SRD:Snare|snare]] flying creatures but can also try to trap prey on the ground. Approaching creatures must succeed on a DC 20 [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] check to notice a [[SRD:Web|web]]; otherwise they stumble into it and become trapped as though by a successful [[SRD:Web|web]] attack. Attempts to escape or burst the [[SRD:Web|web]]bing gain a +5 bonus if the trapped creature has something to walk on or grab while pulling free. Each 5-foot section has the hit points given on the table, and sheet [[SRD:Web|web]]s have [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]] 5/β. A monstrous spider can move across its own [[SRD:Web|web]] at its climb speed and can pinpoint the location of any creature touching its [[SRD:Web|web]]. {| class="d20" |- ! '''Size'''!! '''[[SRD:Escape Artist Skill|Escape Artist]] DC'''!! '''Break DC'''!! '''Hit Points''' |- |Small||10||14||4 |} '''[[SRD:Tremorsense|Tremorsense]] (Ex):''' A monstrous spider can detect and pinpoint any creature or object within 60 feet in contact with the ground, or within any range in contact with the spiderβs [[SRD:Web|web]]s. '''[[SRD:Skills|Skills:]]''' Monstrous spiders have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] and [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] checks and a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks. A monstrous spider can always choose to take 10 on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks, even if rushed or threatened. Monstrous spiders use either their [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] or [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier for [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks, whichever is higher. *Hunting spiders have a +10 racial bonus on [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] checks and a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] checks. Web-spinning spiders have a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] and [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] checks when using their [[SRD:Web|web]]s. === Notes === * This monster is a [[SRD:Small Monstrous Spider|Small Monstrous Spider]] with the [[SRD:Fiendish Creature|Fiendish Creature]] template added to it. * This monster can be summoned using the spell [[SRD:Summon Monster I|Summon Monster I]].
