It makes only a single attack roll (+5 melee), but if that attack is successful, the opponent takes damage from three leg blades if size Small or smaller, four blades if Medium-size, five blades if Large, six if Huge, and all eight if Gargantuan or larger. If the spider descends more than 20 feet to make this attack, it adds +1 point of damage to each leg. ### Poison (Ex) Bite—Injury; save Fort DC 16; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 Strength damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The DC save is Constitution-based, and gains a +2 from ability focus.
