Ok, then:

DR 10/magic (or 15/magic ?)
bite +X melee (1d10+x+poison)
SLA: web (CL ?, DC ?)
Immunity to magic (Su): The black widow totem is immune to all spells and spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance, except as follows. Neutralize poison causes the black widow totem's poison to become inactive for one round if the totem fails its Will save.

Just my first thoughts...

Lets go with /adamantine. Back in the old days, magic was the only kind of "damage reduction", but it is rare for constructs nowadays.

Sounds about right.

From the spiderstone golem...

Spit Web (Su): A spiderstone golem can spit forth a web as a ranged touch attack (maximum range 90 feet, range increment 10 feet). A Large or smaller creature hit by this attack is entangled (-2 on attack rolls, -4 penalty to Dexterity, unable to move). An entangled creature attempting to cast a spell must succeed at a Concentration check (DC 15) to do so. An entangled creature can escape with a successful Escape Artist check (DC 26) or burst the web with a Strength check (DC 32). Both are standard actions. Once the golem spits a web, it can't spit another one until 1d4 rounds later.

One turn = 10 rounds, so change that ability to "one minute" and I think we're good to go.

er... wasn't a turn 10 minutes (not rounds)?

It certainly was in BD&D

Ahh yes...you are correct!

freyar · Nov 12, 2007

Ooops, I must have misread "turn" as "round" there when I did that.

What do we want to do with the abilities?

Downsizing the also spider-like retriever's ability scores to Small yields...

Str 11, Dex 23, Con —, Int —, Wis 11, Cha 1

A Small monstrous spider has

Str 7, Dex 17

So maybe Str 11, Dex 17?

freyar · Nov 12, 2007

That looks good. Int is average, do you want to go with Int 8, Wis 10, Cha 1?

Shade · Nov 12, 2007

Sounds good.

Added to Homebrews.

Your homebrew link seems to be pointing back at itself, Shade. Long day at work?
