Contents

Though the damage is very little, there's yet the possibility that the dweomer may stun a weak defender or generally contribute to an enemy's downfall. Additionally, the sting breaks the concentration of a spellcaster weaving a spell.

Poison

There's a 3% chance per caster level that the victim, if humanoid, might suffer from the spider's poison. If this is the case, the victim is granted a saving throw vs. poison — failure causes the area around the sting to swell and become very painful, causing an additional 5-12 damage (d8 +4) that's received in a single round.

The spider cantrip is similar to a group of other personal cantrips that include bee, bug, gadfly and mouse.
