War spiders have extremely low endurance and are not recommended for bonding. They generally only last ~10 rounds in combat before completely exerting themselves.

Bonding Requirements

A very small amount of insect lore, no more than nine points.

NB: if a war spider is already "owned" by an NPC, it cannot be bonded; however, it can be made free by killing the owner.

Known Abilities

There are a few varieties of giant spider; perhaps the most famous is the mighty war spider, sometimes used as mounts by the guards of Yathryn, and also wandering drow adventurers in various regions. It is very physically powerful, attacking with poison spit, exsanguinating bite and webbing, as well as more conventional melee. It breathes air, eats meat, and can see in the dark.

Attribute Bonuses

Bonding to a giant spider grants bonuses to Intelligence, Dexterity and Perception.

Specialty Bonuses

Bonus specialty degrees and access are provided as follows:

Tier 3

At the middle of "fairly healthy" bond strength:

Tier 4
