About

Phase Spiders are giant spiders with the ability to phase in and out of the Ethereal Plane. This ability allows Phase Spiders to travel short distances very quickly, and can appear like the creature is teleporting.

Attacks and abilities

•  Ethereal Jaunt
•  Venomous Bite (Phase Spider)
  • Leaves behind a pool of Simple Toxin
•  Venomous Discharge
  • Leaves behind a pool of Simple Toxin

Strategy

Phase spiders are slippery opponents, capable of striking at great distances and bypassing control and area-denial effects like  Spike Growth using their  Ethereal Jaunt ability. Unprepared parties will have even more difficulty closing gaps if they cannot cross the webbed surfaces in the spiders' lair. Items like Disintegrating Night Walkers or Spiderstep Boots will help melee attackers overcome these obstacles.

 Poison Resistance goes a long way to boosting survivability, as all of their attacks rely heavily on poison damage.

Notes

• They have +1 bonuses to Strength and Dexterity on Tactician with resultant bonuses to Initiative, Armour Class, Attack rolls, and Saving throws, making an already fairly fierce early game enemy even deadlier.
