Hmmmm, how many hit-dice does a giant spider have again? I will have to consult the monster manual!

Nevermind - get a 7th level wizard to fireball that sucker!

I remember hearing something about how they found a nest of some venemous spiders under the palace, or some other piece of royal property. They were endangered though, so they weren't able to just go in and exterminate them. :p

What a wonderful idea! Instead of capturing and killing the spider, let's fog the entire building with toxic chemicals... which are probably more dangerous than the spider ever was... lol

:roll::roll::roll::roll:

Giant spiders are 2 hit die monsters... they're a staple of first level dungeons...along with Giant Rats, and goblins....

Damn it I went looking for the technical term of the reaction the artical talks about (it's a sustained rotting of the flesh around the bite). After I saw a couple of pictures I gave up my search :( .

Hell....when I was little, I went to school in California. You could see Black Widows nesting underneath the overhangs, above where we ate lunch outside. Not only weren't we sent home, I don't think anyone was ever sent to exterminate them. This was Orange County, btw.
