Travellers often mistake this vermin for a monstrous hunting spider, and those who do usually end up in webs coated in their own blood.    Sniper spiders behave much like hunting spiders in terms of diet and hunting tactics, but they live in caves and tree canopies, hidden from their preys. Drows often capture these spiders and rear them as sentries, guards and even mounts.CombatA sniper spider shoots one or two web bullets hidden from sight before jumping in. It tries to immobilize its targets first, and then biting it and leaving its poison doing its work.Poison (Ex): A sniper spider has a poisonous bite. The details vary by the spider’s size, as shown below. The save DCs are Constitution-based. The indicated damage is initial and secondary damage.[Code][B]Size        Fort DC    Damage[/B]Small        13        1d4 dexMedium            16        1d6 dexLarge        18        1d8 dex[/Code]Web bullets (Ex): A sniper spider has two glands near its mandibles that allow it to shoot bullets made out of compressed webbing at surprising velocity that explode upon impact. The range is 120 feet. Anyone hit by a web bullet takes damage from the impact and is entangled. If the sniper spider misses the target’s normal AC, but would hit the target’s touch AC, the target is entangled but takes no damage.An entangled creature can escape with a successful Escape Artist check or burst it with a Strength check. Both are standard actions whose DCs are given in the table below. The check DCs are Constitution-based, and the Strength check DC includes a +4 racial bonus.[Code][B]Size        Escape DC    Break DC[/B]Small        13        17Medium            16        20Large        18        22[/Code]One web bullet can entangle a creature the same size as the sniper spider, two bullets for one size larger, four bullets for two sizes larger, eight bullets for three sizes larger, and so on. These do not have to be fired on consecutive rounds, but a creature that has been hit by bullets but not entangled, such as an ogre mage hit by two Small sniper spider’s bullets, can take a standard action to scratch off a web bullet or a full action for two bullets. Both actions provoke attacks of opportunity.The webbing gets harder to tear if the spider shoots more bullets. Each bullet, or set of bullets if more is needed for entangling, add a cumulative +2 to the DCs. Thus, the DCs increase by 2 for each bullet for the same size as the spider, for each 2 bullets for one size larger, for each 4 bullets for two sizes larger, and so on.A sniper spider can produce an amount of bullets equal to ten times its HD per day.Skills* : Sniper spiders have a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Jump, Move Silently and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks. A sniper spider can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. Sniper spiders use either their Strength or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher.</blockquote>
