View source for Warp Flarespider (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Warp Flarespiders explode into the scene (literally), shoot fireballs, and then vanish, only to repeat the process while endlessly spawning spiders.  It is very annoying to fight, and while its spider minions are very weak, if not dealt with they can quickly overwhelm.

'''Death Throes {{Su}}:'''  When the warp flarespider dies, it explodes into a ''[[SRD:Fireball|fireball]]'' as a final insult, with the same DC as its fireball ability.  This is not the real danger though.  There is a 20% chance that its death will leave an open 5 ft portal to the Plane of Spiders, where 1 of its lesser spiders (as per spider spawning) appears every round forever.  Only closing the portal, dispelling the portal (caster level 14, DC 25), or filling the pace of the portal with solid material can stop the endless flow of spiders.

'''Explosive Warp {{Su}}:'''  As a move action, the warp flarespider can shift into the ethereal plane or back.  While nothing happens when going from material to ethereal, when going from ethereal to material it appears in a massive explosion as its fireball ability (same DC), except limited only to its space.  If it appears in the same space as another creature, it provokes an attack of opportunity where the creature can decide to move out of the way into the nearest valid space, or take the attack of opportunity but be subject to the fireball effect.

'''Fireball {{Sp}}:'''  The warp flarespider can cast ''[[SRD:Fireball|fireball]]'' at will, DC 20.  The caster level is equal to its CR, and the save is [[Constitution]] based.

'''Immunities {{Ex}}:'''  The warp flarespider is immune to fire and all mind affecting effects.

'''Spider Spawning {{Su}}:'''  As a swift action, a warp flarespider can summon 1d3 of its lesser spawn.  Treat them as [[SRD:Monstrous Spider|small monstrous spider]] with the Fire subtype, and a +3 bonus to attack for every one of its kind adjacent to it (maximum +24 if surrounded entirely by allies).  Needless to say, it can get out of hand in very short order.  Fortunately they are easy to kill.
