They're normally ridden without a saddle of any kind. The rider simply climbs on the spider's neck, or the main body. Then they're directed through foot and leg movements, but this imposes a -3 penalty to skill (most spider riders buy the Hands-Free Riding Technique). Some few use harnesses tied to the spider's fangs, but attaching them and removing them is dangerous and leaving them on can interfere with the spider's daily life. The skill used is Riding (Spider). In the wild, exchange Domestic Animal for Wild Animal and remove the Mount skill. They normally live off of birds that get caught in webs they string between trees, but some also live on other giant insects. Legend has it that breaking these animals for riding is incredibly dangerous. Even domesticated, these animals can be dangerous to their owners if they ever touch their web. These spiders are normally trained to respond to a whistle or other kind of signal. Sometimes they're trained to respond to their rider's specific voice. When they're called, they leave their web and approach the rider, at which point they can be mounted safely. If their web is disturbed during this time, they'll attack, just as they normally would, even if it's their rider. 0 0 250 15 14 2 12 10 10 1.5 0 true true true Advantages Binding Physical, Exotic 12 2 Engulphing 60 total B40 Only Damaged by @Burning/Cutting/Crushing@ 30 total B40 Only Damaged by @Burning/Cutting/Crushing@ or @Burning/Cutting/Crushing@ 20 total B40 Only Damaged by Burning, Cutting or Crushing 10 total B40 Sticky 20 total B40 Unbreakable 40 total B40 One Shot -10 total B40 Super-Binding 400 total Sup25 Jet 0 total Can be used to build area-covering webs, 1 minute per hex covered 10 total This can be layered for extra-strong webbing B40 Advantage Clinging Physical, Exotic 20 Specific -40 total B43 @Common Material@ Specific -60 total B43 @Uncommon Material@ Specific -80 total B43 @Absurd Material@ Attraction 25 total P45 Requires Low Gravity -5 1 total P45 B43 Advantage Damage Resistance Physical, Exotic 5 5 Ablative -80 total B47 Absorbtion 80 total B46 Enhances @Trait@ Absorbtion 100 total B46 Enhances any trait Absorbtion 80 total B46 Healing only Can't wear armor -40 total B47 Directional -40 total B47 @Direction: Back, Right, Left, Top or Underside@ Directional -20 total B47 Front Flexible -20 total B47 Hardened 20 1 total B47 Limited -40 total B46 @Common Attack Form@ Limited -60 total B46 @Occasional Attack Form@ Limited -80 total B46 @Rare Attack Form@ Limited -20 total B46 @Very Common Attack Form@ Reflection 100 total B47 Semi-Ablative -20 total B47 Tough Skin -40 total B47 B47 Advantage full_body_except_eyes 1 Extra Legs Physical, Exotic @3 or 4@ 5 total B54 @5 or 6@ 10 total B55 8 15 total B55 Long 100 1 total B55 Cannot Kick -50 total B55 B54 Advantage Innate Attack (Toxic) Physical, Exotic 2 4 Cyclic 100 5 total B103 1 sec Cyclic 50 1 total B103 10 sec Cyclic 40 1 total B103 1 min Cyclic 20 1 total B103 1 hr Cyclic 10 1 total B103 1 day Cyclic 50 1 total B103 1 sec; Resistable Cyclic 25 1 total B103 10 sec; Resistable Cyclic 20 1 total B103 1 min; Resistable Cyclic 10 1 total B103 1 hr; Resistable Cyclic 5 1 total B103 1 day; Resistable Contagious 20 total B103 Mildly Contagious 50 total B103 Highly Double Blunt Trauma 20 total B104 1HP per 10 dmg Explosion 50 1 total B104 Fragmentation 15 1 total B104 Fragmentation 15 1 total B104 Hot Radiation 100 total B104 Surge 20 total B104 Armor Divisor 50 total B102 2 Armor Divisor 100 total B102 3 Armor Divisor 150 total B102 5 Armor Divisor 200 total B102 10 Side Effect 200 total B109 Paralysis Symptoms 0 total B109 @Effect@ Armor Divisor -30 total B110 0.5 Armor Divisor -50 total B110 0.2 Armor Divisor -70 total B110 0.1 No Wounding -50 total B111 Incendiary -10 total B104 Follow-Up 0 total Teeth B62 Advantage Peripheral Vision Physical 15 Easy to Hit -20 total B75 Others can target your eyes at only -6 to hit B74 Advantage Teeth, Fangs Physical, Exotic 2 thr-1 imp Bite C No No Skill Brawling 0 DX 0 Armor Divisor 150 total DR/5 B91 Advantage Terrain Adaptation (Spider Webs) Physical, Exotic 5 Unstable on solid ground -5 total B93 Active 300 total P84 B93 Allows walking on spider webs without sticking Advantage Vibration Sense Physical, Exotic 10 Universal 50 total B96 Sense of Perception 100 total P86 Targeting 20 total P86 Only through spider webs -60 total B96 Advantage Disadvantages No Physical Attack (Arms) Physical -10 B53 Disadvantage Semi-Upright Physical, Exotic -5 B153 Disadvantage Features Four front legs counts as a pair of arms for manipulation purposes Physical Feature Increased Size Physical sm 1 st 10 Meta-Trait: Domestic Animal B263 Cannot Speak Physical -15 B125 Hidebound Physical -5 B138 Taboo Trait (Fixed IQ) Mental Valuable Property Social -10 B156 Brawling DX/E 4 B182 Combat/Weapon Melee Combat Brawling 2 1 Innate Attack Projectile DX/E 4 B201 Combat/Weapon Ranged Combat DX -4 Skill Innate Attack -2 Mount DX/A 1 B210 Animal Athletic DX -5 Stealth 1 DX/A 2 B222 Criminal/Street Police Spy IQ -5 DX -5 Survival Woodlands Per/A 1 B223 Outdoor/Exploration Per -5 Skill Naturalist -3 Skill Survival Arctic -3 Skill Survival Desert -3 Skill Survival Island/Beach -3 Skill Survival Jungle -3 Skill Survival Mountain -3 Skill Survival Plains -3 Skill Survival Swampland -3 Portrait 8.5 11 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 Monochrome Single Normal
