BTS: 25% (Sz)

ULT: 68 hours

Materials: a spider's web (the "Entry Web") of at least the same height and width as the Caster, Passengers and possessions

Actions: Passengers hold hands with Caster / each other, and Caster steps into Entry Web in final second of Spell Casting, followed by Passengers.  They may bend down or crawl to comply with height restriction on Materials.

Effect of Throw:

1 to 15 No Effect

³ 16    %age Chance of Success = 5(T-7)%

Passengers: N living passengers -2N (in addition to Caster - must hold hands)

Weight: 600w weight points -w(w-1)/2 (excluding body weight of Caster and Passengers)

Circs Mod ("C") of location where target spider's web (the "Exit Web") is situate  < 1:    -1 per 0.1 that C < 1

Notes:

  1. Allows the Caster and Passengers to step into the Entry Web and out of the Exit Web, irrespective of distance or Forest.
  2. The Caster must have previously have instressed at least 10IP from the Exit Web.  If less than 10IP have been instressed, ratio %age Chance of Success by (IP instressed)/10.  If the Exit Web was last instressed before the Caster bound (finished learning) Transport via Webs, he takes -10 (-1 per 1/10 LT outstanding). There is also a penalty of -1 per year since Exit Web last instressed last visited.  There is no limit to the number of potential Exit Webs which can be remembered in this way.
  3. Entry and Exit Webs on different Planes count as different destinations.  Normal penalties apply (see "Casting Spells between the Planes" in the General Magic-Using System) for Transporting via Webs to another Plane.  Locations on the Ethereal or Astral Planes have the same Circs. Mod. as their corresponding location on the Real Plane for the purpose of the Circs. Mod. Variable Parameter.
  4. The Caster must always Transport himself.  If he saves, the Transport fails for all Passengers.
