📋 About This Mod
Makes Spider Touch poison-based instead of Magic-based. Also halves the duration by changing duration to 1 round every 2 levels, and changes the chance to 15/5 per level instead of 5/15 per level magnitude. This means poison resistance helps against spiders and scorpions, rather than magic resistance. Free Action and Cure Paralysis also works. Doesn't affect other sources of paralysis.
Giant spiders - lvl 4, 35% chance to paralyze, 3 rounds (original is 65% chance, 4 rounds)
Giant scorpions - lvl 12, 75% chance to paralyze, 6 rounds (original is 100% chance, 12 rounds)
Barbarians and other poison resistant or immune characters can now shrug off these poisonous attacks.
Available on Android
Poisonous Spider Touch reworks the Spider Touch spell in Baldur's Gate 3 to deal poison damage instead of magic, and reduces its duration to 1 round per 2 levels. A niche gameplay tweak for players who want a more thematic poison-based version of the spell.
