'''Abilities:''' The For fighting or using ''spider climb'', spider-monks should have a high level of Strength; and for accuracy in shooting webs, they need to hone their Dexterity. Spider-Monks gain either of these at a greater rate than any other class. For webs, the most important ability in this class is Constitution; and Intelligenceis also needed for the faster improvement of necessary skills. Strength and Dexterity tie for second placeThese two abilities may only be gained at the normal rate afforded to everyone else.

Instead of making a Climb check, he may use the spell-like ability [[Spider_climb|Spider Climb]]at will, but with the following modifications: The duration is only one round per use, but uses can be chained together for continuous effect. The climb speed is equal to (2 x Climb skill) + Spider-Monk level + 10 (movement speed/2) (total rounded to the nearest 5), limited to normal unarmed movement speed (with bonuses). '''Example''': A Dwarfish lv-8 Spider-Monk with a Climb of 10 would get a spider climbing speed of 38, which rounds up to 40ft (the maximum allowable speed for this race at this level).<br/> - This ability may be used as a standard move action or as an immediate action, as the situation dictates.<br/> - The Spider-Monk may use this ability up to 1/2 class level + 3 times per day (Ex: A lv-8 Spider-Monk could use this 7 times per day).<br/> - Starting at level 9, if spider climbing speed meets or exceeds unarmed movement speed, the spider-monk attains [[Spider-Monk attains '''Monk_(3.5e_Class)#True_Spider_Climb|True Spider Climb''' (see below)]].

Spider-Monks are encouraged to be creative with their usages, but should be aware of the limit of their web length. Appropriate checks (Craft, Use Rope, etc.) should also be done, depending on the situation. Dungeon Masters get final say on whether a certain use is allowable in any given context.<br/>- If an enemy is bound in webbing, it can make an Escape Artist check against the Spider-Monk's Use Rope skill check to free itself; or the subject could try a Strength check of DC 15 + 1/2 Spider-Monk level + INT<br/>- The webbing, when in use, is only sticky in places where the Spider-Monk wants it Ability bonus to be (e.g. one end only, for sticking to a ceiling). Webs cannot stick to wet, oily, either Strength or extremely hot Dexterity (fierywhichever the spider-monk chooses) surfaces.<br/>- Webbing This is vulnerable in addition to sharp objects and fire, against which it has an AC of 12 + 1/2 Spiderany other Ability bonuses gained through normal level-Monk level + INT, with 2 HP per inch thicknessups.
