Poison Swarm: The area around a deathweb is filled with swarms of living spiders that nest in the undead thing’s exoskeleton. Any creature that comes within 10 feet of a deathweb takes +1 damage per round and must make a DC 17 Fortitude save or be poisoned (initial and secondary damage 1 Con). The save DC is Charisma-based. Any attack that deals more than +2 damage and has an area of effect large enough to affect every square a deathweb occupies destroys its poison swarm for 3 rounds. After this time, new spiders well up from inside the beast and recreate the swarm.
Web: The deathweb can create sticky webs to ensnare enemies. A deathweb can throw a web at will, but no more than once every 5 rounds. This is similar to an attack with a net but has a maximum range of 50 feet, with a range increment of 10 feet, and is effective against Colossal or smaller targets. As a standard action, an entangled creature can escape with a successful DC 16 Escape Artist check or burst it with a DC 24 Strength check. The check DCs are Constitution-based, and the Strength check DC includes a +8 racial bonus. The slimy webbing created by a deathweb has +2 Toughness. It is difficult to burn and has an effective DR of 2 against fire. Fires that cause damage will burn away the web; these fires also deal the same damage on creatures entangled in the web.
Skills: Deathwebs have a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks. A deathweb can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened.
