Web Sense. While in contact with a web, the swarm knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.
Web Walker. The swarm ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.
Actions
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm's space. Hit: 10 (4d4) piercing damage, or 5 (2d4) piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.
Spiders aren't insects
Mushrooms aren’t plants either, but this is D&D.
This is a world were an elephant shooting a sh*tton of arrow while using a velociraptor as a mount and with spikes shooting out of the ground is normal. Do you think that is normal?
LOL, but its SO TRUE THOUGH! :P
You can probably go ahead and change the damage type to poison when using this. I don't see why it's treated all as if all attacks must deal at least one point of physical damage as long as it has an attack. Spiders and swarms of spiders should just deal pure poison damage.
This was my first thought on opening this page. I'm glad its the first comment.
But yet insect/bug spray still kills spiders....
I mean, enough insect/bug spray will kill people, or almost any animal for that matter...
Yep, we're all pests to Mother Nature.
Not all spiders are venomous though, so why should it outright deal poison damage?
It doesn't. Did you read the attack?
I think he was quoting the other guy…
