Spider Bite (Priest Spell)

Also known as venom bite, this spell confers the poisonous biting ability of a spider upon the caster. A successful attack roll is required to administer the poison, and the caster can bite only exposed or clothed flesh; armor cannot be bitten through. The number of times the bite has venom effects, and the power of those effects, depends on the caster's level.
Spider bite can be saved for hours or days after casting. However, a bite delivered, whether or not it is successful, expends one use of the magic. A bitten creature receives a saving throw vs. poison at a -3 penalty to avoid the effect.
For the entire time this spell is in effect, the caster is immune to poison. No more than two spider bite spells can be active on the caster at one time. A second spell increases the number of bites only, the effects are not otherwise cumulative.
Notes: Granted by the drow goddess Lolth.
