Spiderling Tactics[edit]

Spiderlings generally rely on their high maneuverability and numbers to take down their foes.

Spiderlings Lore[edit]

A character knows the following information with a successful arachana or nature check.

DC 10 (arachana), DC 15 (nature): Spiderlings are usually found in large numbers with their mothers; one of the few exceptions to the spiders' solitary behavior.
DC 20 (arachana), DC 25 (nature): Though spiders are typically solitary, some are members of so-called "spider colonies". Such colonies cannot exist without guidance from a more intelligent being, such as an arachnomancer or demonspider. Within such colonies, spiderlings are usually found in the common retreat.

Encounter Groups[edit]

Spiderlings are normally found in large numbers among adult spiders.

Level 6 Encounter (XP 1250)[edit]
  • 1 Lycosid Adult (level 6 soldier)
  • 40 Hatchlings (level 1 Minion)
