Spider (cantrip)
Spider is a cantrip that conjures a diminutive arachnid within a 10-foot radius of the caster. This arachnid can traverse an additional 10 feet from its summoning point to deliver a bite to a target creature, inflicting 1 hit point of damage without requiring a roll to hit.
Range | 10 ft. |
Duration | 1 round |
Area of Effect | 1 creature |
Casting Time | 2 action points |
Saving Throw | none; see text |
Level | cantrip |
Besides the aforementioned damage, there's a 3% chance per caster level that the spider is also exceptionally venomous. In such cases, the target must make a saving throw vs. poison. If this is unsuccessful, the poison inflicts 5-12 (d8+4) damage in a single jolt ... though there are no lasting effects from this.
The small size of the spider makes it possible for the caster to send it through a window pane or under a door, so long as line-of-sight is in some way maintained with the victim.
