........ in the Forest of wyrms.

[Ariella]

You want the spider back?!

[Theodore01]

As it was such a unique spider - sure, and make it a bit stronger.

[Hoihe]

It's already way strong enough even in parties. No thanks. Keep it as it were or at least make its paralytic hold be counterable with reflex or AC.

[Oarthias]

It's been a running joke that the dragon ate it for a few months now.

It would be fun to have it be a random encounter... sometimes he comes, sometimes he doesn't. Because spiders are drop out of the sky scary random at times.

(And I can't believe I'm saying that... because oocly spiders give me the heebie-jeebies.)

[Ariella]

Fine I went out back and caught a big spider. It should be there after the next update.

[Leramak]

You would have spiders in Australia

[sweetlikesplenda]

Yes! Get that mother spider back in there and make her stronger! How else will she survive in such a hostile environment, if she isn't strong?

I agree! Should be % chance it's going to come, and spawn in 2 possible locations (in front of or behind you)

Also needs to be stronger. It's one of the few things in the woods I can solo every time and never take damage.

It can party wipe certain character sets already if not careful. Namely those whose tank relies on dex to AC and the rest don't do high damage.

It doesn't need to be stronger.

[Theodore01]

give it a chance to spawn 3 of them

Ok that's interesting. I thought my character was pretty weak, and my AC is ~31 (23 without Dex), which I'm pretty certain is on the low side? If I equip my shield that jumps to 36 (28 w/out Dex). I definitely don't do a lot of damage...

The main problem when I fight it is that it stands in one place and never moves, just tries to rope me in at 1kph. By the time it has roped me half way to it it's already dead. I think it's more a problem with the coding of the rope ability than its stats. The rope ability is "cool", however it probably could have killed me with ease if it just ran up and bit me.

Out of about 10 fights with it I have only taken damage once, and that was because I accidentally came out of stealth in melee range by clicking the spider as it spawned, and even then I still won (had to burn 1-2 expendables).

I was solo and less than the CR of the area each of these times (some of the times lower by 3).

I feel the same way. It always ropes Vani in but is dead before any damage is done.
