Special Offenses:

Armor Penetration: The fangs of a Large Jumping Spider will penetrate past armor types without damaging the armor when a maximum-strike occurs (spider rolls an offensive attack that hits for +30 over the defensive roll of its prey).

Remember: Poison will only be injected on a strike causing 50%+ damage.

Also: Players need to remember to check armor's chance to turn needle attacks. This may yet save them from being poisoned.

Susceptibilities and Weaknesses: Excess red lighting disrupts this creature's perception of distance and location of targeted prey (an "Awareness (Vision)" check must be successful, or a penalty of -60 to offence will be enforced on this spider's attack-roll (vision = the %Chance) . In essence, red light blinds this spider's ability to accurately perceive the exact location of intended prey.

Weapon Susceptibilities : Rank-0 non-magical weapon to harm.
