Special Abilities
Nimble Strikes (Ex) A cave spider uses their dexterity in place of their strength on attack and damage rolls with their natural weapons.
Poison (Ex) Bite—injury; save Fort DC 19; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d6 non-lethal damage and staggered; cure 2 saves. Save DC is Con-based with a +5 racial bonus.
Web Walk (Ex) Cave spiders' hairs are costed in a layer that prevent webs from sticking to them. Cave spiders are immune to the web ability and can pass through sheets of web without getting trapped and can ignore other types of webbing such as the web spell.
