A '''sack of spiders''' is an evokable item which, when used, generates a [[Spider's Nest]]-themed group of friendly monsters, and also generates [[web]] [[trap]]s under hostile monsters in your [[LOS]]. [[Evocations]] skill effects both the strength and number of summoned allies, but ''not'' the success rate - that is set at 80% regardless of your character's stats and skills. Each sack generates with 5-15 charges, and cannot be recharged in any way.

Opening this bag will release a number of spiders friendly to your cause. You might need to dust off the cobwebs after, however.

A sack of spiders is an evokable item which, when used, generates a Spider's Nest-themed group of friendly monsters, and also generates multiple web traps in the area. Evocations skill effects both the strength and number of summoned allies, but not the success rate - that is set at 80% regardless of your character's stats and skills. Each sack generates with 5-15 charges, and cannot be recharged in any way.

Potential Results

Each successful use of a sack of spiders is guaranteed to produce at least 1-3 allies, plus an additional 1d(Evocations / 4) - 1.

A table of potential results versus example amounts of Evocations skill:

Strategy

  • A sack of spiders is nearly useless without at least 8 or so levels of Evocations. If you haven't put in the training, don't expect any results from this beyond a couple of quickly destroyed meat shields.
  • Be careful where you move after using a sack of spiders. Stepping into one of your own generated web traps is a good way to earn yourself YASD.

History

In 0.15, the webs created when evoking a sack of spiders will target enemies, rather than being placed randomly.

Sacks of spiders were added in 0.13.
