SPECIAL ABILITIES

---

Poison (Ex) A Red Back Spider can poison those it attacks.  A Red Back Spider's bite attack(s) will inflict a poison on its victims that has a fortitude save DC of 23, a frequency of 1/round for 6 rounds, causes 1d6 con damage, and takes two saves to cure. The save DC is constitution-based.

Bleed (Ex) When a Red Back Spider hits a target with its bite attack(s), it causes wounds that continue to bleed, dealing 1d4 damage each round at the start of the affected creature's turn.  This bleeding can be stopped by a successful DC 15 Heal skill check or through the application of any magical healing.

Web (Ex) A Red Back Spider can use webs to support itself and up to one additional creature of Medium size. In addition, a Red Back Spider can throw a web up to eight times per day with +7 to hit. 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 web spinner. An entangled creature can escape with a successful Escape Artist check or burst the web with a Strength check. Both are standard actions with a DC of 21. Attempts to burst a web by those caught in it take a –4 penalty.  The break DC is constitution-based.

Red Back Spiders can create sheets of sticky webbing up to three times their size. They usually position these sheets to snare flying creatures but can also try to trap prey on the ground. Approaching creatures must succeed on a DC 20 Perception check to notice a web; otherwise they stumble into it and become trapped as though by a successful web attack. Attempts to escape or burst the webbing gain a +5 bonus if the trapped creature has something to walk on or grab while pulling free. Each 5-foot-square section of web has 11 hit points and DR 5/—.  A creature can move across its own web at its climb speed and can pinpoint the location of any creature touching its web.

Light Sensitivity (Ex) A Red Back Spider becomes dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.

Evilities:

Red Back Spiders possess the following evilities.

Punishing Punisher: Gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage against a creature with a status condition. Poison Accelerator: Creatures within 60 feet effected by a poison take +1 ability damage from the poison regardless of the saving throw's result. Star Crossed Fate: Abilities that cause a status condition gain +2 to their save DC.

Red Back Spiders are the weaker and smaller cousins to Red Dirt Spiders, but they are still not to be taken lightly. A Red back spider is a frightening man sized arachnid that usually works in groups with others of it's kind to hunt down and kill it's prey. They act just as most other spiders do, however they tend to work together and hunt in a fashion similar to wolves to catch their prey.

Red Dirt Spiders are massive predators that live within underground caverns. They possess a bright red coloration, which is odd due to the near pitch black environments they are often found crawling in. Red Silk spiders are usually the alpha predator of whatever cave system they live in. It is unknown why this is considered a spider considering it only has 6 legs. It's heart is known to be a powerful item used in magic rituals.
