Tips & Tricks

  • Incredibly high threat enemy. If you aren't immune to poison, getting hit in melee should be treated like instant death. Just one hit can paralyse you for 3 turns, which is enough for a crowd of spiders to kill you from 100% health. A Jorgogumo by itself can deal 180 damage (to those without rN+) in 3 turns, enough to kill most characters heading into Spider. That's not to mention its spells - Ensnare halves EV and prevents movement, and Bolt of Draining is high damage.
  • Their willpower is moderately high, though Hexes or Evocations specialists can hex them somewhat reliably.
