Combat Intuition, 2 ranks : Spiders possess 8 eyes and are able to see a wide angle around their bodies.
Venomous bite: All spiders possess a venomous bite. The type of venom varies by species but the effects. The section on spider venom includes more details.
Webbing: Spider webs come in several different types. In general the adhesive coating on a spiderweb has an effective strength equal to double the spider's own STR score or the spider's STR +10, whichever is lower. Freeing a limb from a web requires a major action and a successful STR(web STR) test to break free. Severely entangled creatures may require multiple STR checks in order to break free. Spider webs are typically considered highly flammable.
Jumping Spiders: Some spiders are jumping spiders which use their powerful legs to jump great distances and to pounce upon prey. When jumping, the spider tethers itself with a strong filament of spider silk to provide stability and avoid accidents. Jumping spiders can jump up to twice per round a distance up to two times their Major Movement rate. A jumping spider can jump as a free movement.
Websense: A spider that is on a spider web or similar structure has the ability to sense any movement or weight with uncanny accuracy in all directions, similar to tremorsense.
Bludgeon Vulnerability: The hard exoskeleton that protects a spider is less effective against focused blunt force attacks. Spiders suffer double damage from most blunt weapons.
