[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5161644, member: 57383"] It's looking good! I'd rather give it a decent Jump modifier. Either increase the speed to 30 ft., give it a racial bonus (+6 or a Monstrous Hunting Spider's +10?) or even both. I'm not much bothered which. A 30-foot across spider than can be outjumped by many Medium Humanoids just seems wrong somehow. We need to modify the DC of its Web to match its HD and Con scores - DC24 Escape Artist and DC28 Strength - and increase the area to something like "30 to 60 feet" to fit its Huge size. Also, I'd like to mention its dust cloud form in Tactics. Instead of "Greater dust spiders lie in wait for prey while transformed into a pile of dust, when a victim blunders into their webs they take spider form and attack. A badly injured dust spider often "plays dead" by collapsing to dust." I'd prefer something like: [B]Combat[/B] Greater dust spiders lie in wait for prey while transformed into a pile of dust, when a victim blunders into their webs they take spider form and attack. A badly injured dust spider usually assumes dust cloud form and flees. Apart from that, we could include a group with some dust spider swarms in Organization, i.e.: Organization: Solitary, clutter (2-4) or spawning (1-4 plus 2-8 lesser dust spider swarms) [/QUOTE]
