Weaver Spider Tactics[edit]
Weaver spiders typically lie in wait in great silken webs for prey. When a prey gets stuck in its web (or passes underneath), the weaver spider uses entangle to trap its foe and then bites it.
Weaver Spider Lore[edit]
A character knows the following information with a successful arachana or nature check.
- DC 10 (arachana), DC 15 (nature): Weaver spiders wait in ambush in silken webs that they spin. Weaver spiders usually wrap their prey in silk to restrain it until it succumbs to the spider's deadly poison.
- DC 15 (arachana), DC 20 (nature): The most dangerous weaver spiders are the deadly black widows or "widowmakers". These weaver spiders posess the most deadly poisons of all spiderkind.
- DC 20 (arachana), DC 25 (nature): Though weaver spiders are typically solitary, some are members of so-called "spider colonies". Such colonies cannot exist without guidance from a more intelligent being, such as an arachnomancer or demonspider. Some weaver spiders are known to have developed solitary behaviour.
Encounter Groups[edit]
Weaver spiders regard most creatures (even each other) as prey, though they may be found among other spiders or spiderkind.
