Nauseating Poison: Because I inject a potent poison with my bite, whenever I succeed with style on a Sneaky attack, I may give my opponent a Sickened aspect with a free invoke instead of gaining a boost.

Robust Hunter: Because I have a thick exoskeleton, I get +2 to Forcefully defend against physical attacks.

Pounce!: Because I ambush prey with powerful leaps, I deal +2 stress on a tied or better Sneaky attack, as long as I moved at least one zone before attacking. (I do not also gain a boost on a tie this way.)

Giant Spider Venom Giant Spider Webs

Great (+4) Nauseating Venom, Weapon: 1Great (+4) Paralytic Venom, Weapon: 1

Instead of attacking, hazards can also attempt to create an advantage using their skill rating. Nauseating Venom could create aspects like Sickened or Weak, while Paralytic Venom could create Slowed or Numbed. These work well for the Giant Hunting Spider and Giant Orb-Weaving Spider respectively.

Good (+3) Giant Spider Venom, Weapon: 2

A standard venom for the Giant Jumping Spider or the Giant Trapdoor Spider.

Superb (+5) Necrotic Venom, Weapon: 4

Necrotic venom is extremely dangerous and hard to cure. Use very sparingly.

Obstacles are things the heroes have to deal with, but unlike enemies, they can’t usually be attacked. Hazards are obstacles whose main purpose is to inflict stress on the heroes. Hazards have a skill rating, a name which doubles as both a skill and an aspect, and a weapon rating.

If using these optional rules, whenever a giant spider would create an aspect representing a hero being injected with venom from its bite, create a Giant Spider Venom hazard instead. Once injected, the hazard attacks the affected hero on the spider’s turn using its skill rating. On a successful attack, the venom deals stress as normal, plus additional stress equal to its weapon rating. (This means the venom deals stress on a tie, but does not also gain a boost.)

To get rid of Giant Spider Venom, a hero must make an overcome action against passive opposition equal to the hazard’s skill rating. If successful, the hazard is eliminated.

Good (+3) Giant Spider WebsSuperb (+5) Huge Spider Webs

Generally speaking, only a Giant Orb-Weaving Spider would spin a web during an encounter; other giant spiders capture prey by jumping on it or catching it with their fangs. But there might be Giant Spider Web blocks in the scene regardless of the type of giant spider encountered. They can also be used to represent a giant spider wrapping a weakened or immobilized victim in silk. In that case, the unfortunate hero would have to roll against the block’s skill as passive opposition to take just about any action at all.

Obstacles are things the heroes have to deal with, but unlike enemies, they can’t usually be attacked. Blocks are obstacles that don’t attack heroes, but passively prevent movement and make certain types of actions harder. Blocks have a skill rating, a name which doubles as both a skill and an aspect, and occasionally a weapon rating.

If using these optional rules, whenever a giant spider would create an aspect representing it spinning a web, create a Giant Spider Web block in its zone instead. When a hero takes an action that is made more difficult because of a web, such as leaving or entering a zone with webs, or getting close enough to attack a giant spider in melee, they must first roll against the block’s skill rating as passive opposition. Failure means the block stops the hero’s action.

To get rid of Giant Spider Webs, a hero must make an overcome action against passive opposition equal to two steps higher than the block’s skill rating. If successful, the block is removed from the scene.
