Look &lt;br&gt;for Spider2 under Horror at character creation. The original Spider is &lt;br&gt;unchanged and still playable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Spider2 is a full rebuild of the Spider. When you hatch you choose your &lt;br&gt;nature, and you must choose before you can do anything else:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WOLF SPIDER - the hunter&lt;br&gt;- stalk (2): shadow your prey.&lt;br&gt;- thorax (4): reshape your thorax outside combat. Hard gives armour, hairy &lt;br&gt;gives resistance and attacking, toxic sprays poison on anyone who hits &lt;bryou.&lt;br&gt;- masticate (6): chew a foe open, lowering its resistance and toughness. &lt;br&gt;Stacks.&lt;br&gt;- trapdoor (8): dig up to 3 trapdoors, then wait in ambush for a named &lt;br&gt;target or anyone. Bursts out with a bite, venom and a flurry of strikes.&lt;br&gt;- jump (12): leap onto a target, even into the next room, bite and pin &lt;br&gt;them for a few rounds. Hits harder if they never saw you coming.&lt;br&gt;- infest (15): lay an egg in a foe that hatches and eats its way out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ORB WEAVER - the trapper&lt;br&gt;- weave (2): your webs entangle anyone who enters.&lt;br&gt;- web sense (6): feel anything struggling in any of your webs, anywhere.&lt;br&gt;- pull (10): drag prey into your web.&lt;br&gt;- skitter (12): run along your silk to any of your webs.&lt;br&gt;- eggsack (15): spin a sack, lay eggs and hatch young to hunt your foes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BOTH&lt;br&gt;- bite, spin (cocoons) and the classic venom.&lt;br&gt;- NEW: brewed toxins. &#039;do toxin &lt;type&gt;&#039; fills your venom sacks, &#039;do toxin &lt;br&gt;set &lt;type&gt;&#039; chooses one, and &#039;do toxin auto on&#039; laces every bite ith it.&lt;br&gt; Wolf: hemotoxin, cardiotoxin, rhabdotoxin (weakens their attacks).&lt;br&gt; Orb: hemotoxin, neurotoxin (clumsiness, dropped weapons), pneumotoxin &lt;br&gt;(cuts healing).&lt;br&gt; Your toxin packets show on your HP bar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Read &#039;help spider2&#039; for the full guide, and &#039;help skills &lt;name&gt;&#039; for each &lt;br&gt;skill.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;THIS IS A PLAYTEST. Numbers will change and bugs are expected. Please &lt;br&gt;report anything broken with &#039;bug&#039;, and send balance or design feedback &lt;br&gt;with &#039;idea&#039; - especially:&lt;br&gt;- whether wolf or orb feels stronger or weaker&lt;br&gt;- skill costs, cooldowns and the levels skills unlock at&lt;br&gt;- toxins: too strong, too weak, or confusing?&lt;br&gt;- anything that blocks you or behaves oddly during or after hatching&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once it has had a round of feedback, Spider2 will replace the original &lt;br&gt;Spider. Existing Spiders will then choose wolf or orb when they next log &lt;br&gt;in, keeping their path&#039;s skills and getting a full exp refund for the &lt;br&gt;rest.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have fun, and happy hunting.&lt;br&gt; ``&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
