Hmmmm, I thought the only place Spider was listed as a totem (with rules)
was in the back of the Grimmy, and that it was listed (along with Mantis) as
a NPC-only totem. While I'm sure it's been used as a PC totem in some
games, I've yet to decide what to do with it in my game, so have avoided it,
and wouldn't let a PC use it.

However, I could be wrong. This is all from memory...
