Identify Bugs & Spiders (sage ability)

Identify bugs & spiders is an amateur-status sage ability in the study of Bugs & Spiders which allows identification of both bugs and spiders, including during their larvae stage.

In addition to their identification, the character will also be aware — where monstrous forms of bugs or spiders occur — the principal threat the creatures imposes. Specifically, knowledge of threat includes the number of attacks the creature possesses per round, what parts of the body are used in attack, the armour class of the creature and its approximate weight and hit dice.

This knowledge includes if a bug or spider possesses a dangerous poison, but does not extend to any other special attacks or defences these creatures have.
