hey guys..
i m finished with the game and i was thinkin about the monsters i summoned and their uses to me..

it seems like sword spiders that nalia spawned are really effective in combat. they have a very great attack rate (12-16 damage per attack) and they seem to hurt like an +3 weapon, but i m not really sure about that.
the enemy mages had a lot of problem with the sword spiders too. now my question is does anyone have any stats for a sword spider (ac, thaco, +? weapon etc.)

thx for the help.

AC: 3
THAC0: 12
number of attacks: 4
HP: 45
Str: 14
Dex and rest: 9
weapon: to hit +1, damage 2d6 piercing

Sword Spider:

Alignment - Chaotic Evil
AC - 3
HP - 45
Resistances: None
THACO - 12
No. of Attacks - 4

STR 14 INT 9
DEX 9 WIS 9
CON 9 CHA 9

Actually the thac0 12 is only for the monsters that you meet, the summoned ones have only thaco 15.

Ok, I <crtl> Q'd a couple of these things into my party, and found that they did indeed have a THACO of 15, and 5 attacks/round.

creature.bif file for the summoned sword spiders (ally) states that:

STR 14, other 9, AC 3, thac0 15, attacks 4, HP 45, CE, saving throws 11 - 14, resistances none

These values do not take into account magic items and/or weapons. My own experience says that the stats are, in fact, way better (for example thac0 or resistances/saving throws).

Quite true. The summoned sword spider is wearing a ring (what is a spider doing with a ring, anyway? ) that hastes it, giving it 5 attacks/round, and an amulet (with no icon) that gives it immunity to web.
