Action

Web (Recharge 5-6)

Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one creature. Hit: The target is restrained by webbing. As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 18 Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success. The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).

 

Action

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 34 (5d10 + 7) piercing damage, and the target must succeed a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) poison damage, or half as much on a successful save. If the target is a creature it must succeed a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be implanted with a clump of spider eggs. That clump of spider eggs opens up and in insect swarm crawls out of the creature 1d4 rounds later, completely loyal to the jorogumo.

Actions/Abilities/Traits:   (OSR)

 

Special

|Change Shape

You have the ability to assume the appearance of a specific creature or type of creature (usually a humanoid), but retains most of your own physical qualities. You cannot change shape to a form more than one size category smaller or larger than your original form. This ability functions as a polymorph spell, but you do not adjust your ability scores (although you gain any other abilities of the creature you mimic). Unless otherwise stated, you can remain in an alternate form indefinitely.

 

Special

|Change Shape

Poison Spider Legs Bite-injury; save Death; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d6 Wisdom damage; cure 3 saves.

 

Special

|Change Shape

Web You can use webs to support yourself and up to one additional creature of the same size. In addition, you can throw a web up to 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 you.

 

Special

|Change Shape

An entangled creature can escape with a successful Dexterity check or burst the web with a Strength check.

 

Special

|Change Shape

Attempts to burst a web by those caught in it suffer a -4 penalty. Web spinners 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 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. A creature can move across its own web at its climb speed and can pinpoint the location of any creature touching its web.

 

Special

|Change Shape

A jorogumo's spider legs can emerge or retract as a free action. When a jorogumo's spider legs are present, she gains a +4 bonus on Climb checks.

Special

Spider Empathy (Ex)

This ability functions as a druid's wild empathy, save that it works only on spiders. A jorogumo uses her Hit Dice (normally 14) as her effective druid level. Spiders are normally mindless, but this empathic communication imparts upon them a modicum of implanted intelligence, allowing the jorogumo to train them and use them as guardians (though it does not grant them skills or feats).

 

Special

Spider Legs (Ex)

A jorogumo's spider legs can emerge or retract as a free action. When a jorogumo's spider legs are present, she gains a +8 circumstance bonus on Climb checks and gains Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat.
