With their chitinous, seemingly metallic shell, Sword Spiders are hard to kill. More dangerous, however, are the sharpened, blade-like appendages that give them their name.

Combat

Dodge AC and save bonuses are factored into the main combat stats above. Dodge AC stacks (cap +20); haste adds +4 more (separate). All other same-type bonuses do not stack — only the highest is shown. Regeneration stacks without limit. Immunities marked (racial) are granted by the creature's racial type by the engine, not by its equipment.
