Spider Swarm
Massive swarms of spiders are occasional hazards encountered in dark and abandoned places. Individual spiders of this size are of no threat whatsoever to an adventurer, although they can still give one a good startle. Several thousand spiders packed atop one another in a seething mass of scuttling legs and poisonous fangs?
- That's enough to threaten any adventurer and startle just about anybody.

Ability-1-Name = Spider Venom Ability-1-Type = Ex Ability-1-Concentration = Ability-1-Description = Any damage inflicted by a Spider Swarm has a chance to inflict a weak poison:
- Spider Venom (Injury vector; Tainted intensity)
- Fort DC ; Frequency: 1/rounds for 3 rounds
- Effect: STR dilution and non-lethal damage per interval; Fruition: -

Ability-2-Name = Distraction Ability-2-Type = Ex Ability-2-Concentration = Ability-2-Description = Any living creature that takes damage from a swarm must make a Fortitude save, DC , or become Afflicted. If the creature makes the save, they are instead Sickened. If they take damage on any following round while still Sickened or Afflicted, they must make another DC Fortitude save, or move up one step on the Status Array. While sharing a space with the swarm, you cannot get rid of the Sickened condition. At the end of any round in which you are outside of the swarm, you may make another DC Fortitude save to attempt to move down a step on the status array. (While outside of the swarm's space, you cannot go up on the status array if you fail the save, you simply remain at the status you currently have.)
- In addition, spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the area of a swarm requires a Caster Check against the swarm's Maneuver Defense of . Using skills that involve patience and concentration require a DC Will save.

CombatTactics = Spider swarms wish to engulf you. They will charge as fast as they can to get into the space of their prey. About the only 'tactic' they use is their fondness for crawling on ceilings. Whenever possible a spider swarm will crawl up to a ceiling and drop onto victims as a sudden rain of leggy creepy crawlers. Bleah.
- Multiple swarms can move into, stop and occupy spaces that other swarms occupy. However, no more than two swarms can inflict damage or effects on a single target.
OutOfCombat = Spider swarms can live nearly anywhere — in forests, shrubbery, amidst crops, basically anywhere that food is likely to pass nearby. They prey on any animals or humanoids that come too close, and only require such a meal about once a week, thought they'll always save some for later, in their rather prodigious webs.
